This is also a small, (probably) insignificant quibble, reference the phrase, " advocates of institutional racism." I take his point, but I'm not sure the phrase is coherent. Instances of what I would call "institutional racism" in the U.S. are the War on drugs, the Department of Homeland Security, Charter Schools , the Prison System. . . . These and many other "institutions" must be eliminated to eliminate racism in the U.S. But their defenders (overt or implicit) would deny that they were racist, and probably be "sincere" in so arguing.
Is this use of the phrase "institutional racism" consistent with Joseph's use of the term?

One small, insignificant quibble: These "liberals" are full advocates of institutional racism, in a way that has few equivalents anywhere near the political mainstreams of North America or Western Europe. As little as I think of our liberals, I'd still use scare quotes or something to set this brood apart from 'em. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað." _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
