No, it doesn't get enough.

this point of view, in ignoring the literary cultures and contributions of the chiense, indians, persians, arabs, ironically whitewashes history and centralizes europeans while peripheralizing non-whites. this woman is a white supremacist according to her own framework.

Public school system is bad. The only people who become teachers are people who failed to get a job in their degree field.

Yes, but everything else is even worse. Nothing the hairless humanoid apes create is of any worth.

It's so hard to find someone who can recite the Odyssey from memory, though.

Yes.
>Is "worship of the written word" a tenet of white supremacy?
Obviously not.

Nah, the written word is the only black thing on the page. If it weren't there, then only white would remain, supreme.

the last 50 years of criticism criticize the written word, so...?

Getting triggered over a literal who's twitter comment is a tenet of /pol/

>>13467278
Really?

Is she implying that white people are better writers? What a fucking racist.

>>13466963
The basis of western civilization is ancient greece. Homer famously did oral poetry.

>>13468006
The implication is Abos and Africans and most Injins used oral history as the basis for their society, anyone who's played Chinese Whispers knows why it's considered super unreliable, but wokies still seethe about this fact.
That said, it still has some virtue, the Illiad and Gilgamesh went through fuck knows how many transformations before someone finally wrote it down.
However, writing didn't originate in Europe and actually got there relatively late, but I guess Indo-Sino-European-Semitic supremacy doesn't sound as edgy.
In other words, she's profoundly ignorant of both literature and history.

>>13467996
At my school it was literally every year

I'm a non-white Mexican and my native language is not English yet for me the written word is one of the cornerstones of Western civilization, up there with civil marriage, so this cunt can stick her shit opinion up her ass. Absolutely ridiculous claim.

>>13468053
If someone hadn't written down Homer's stories The Iliad and The Odyssey would have been lost long ago.

>>13468053
Oral poetry isn't the written word. Borges has an interesting essay on the worship of writing. Before the modern era writing was seen as inferior, for example in St. Augustine's confessions Augustine's mentor reads out loud to recapture the spoken words of whomever wrote the book.

>>13468109
What's that essay called?

>>13468122
We don't know. He didn't write it down so it's lost to history

>>13466963
>meanwhile 90% of the population never reads a single book in their lifetime once they leave school

>>13468125
Ah, one of those oral essays. Good to know Borges wasn't a white supremacist.

Everything is white supremacy to these dolts. As such , they construct for themselves their on illusion of alienation, estrangement not simply to white people but to the symbolic order in which they are enmeshed. Suddenly basic science, culture at large is a noxious product of an imagined racist influence , taken in an overgeneralized, encompassing form. It is in effect to supply powers to the perceived enemy which the enemy itself did not regard as in its possession. Therefore it is self-obstruction.

The private school system isn't much better. Outcomes are the same when you control for family education and income level. Private schools just tend to have richer kids with more educated parents.

Africa also has scripts in the first century BC. The ge'ez and Berber scritps were common, as well as some use of the meriotic script. I'll preclude Ancient Egyptian since I think most of us will consider that East Mediterranean.

Why do Americans have to make everything about race?

It is not like Gilgamesh stopped morphing with the society after it was written down.

Ah, so this is the new mask that phono/logocentrism will don (not that new actually, keeping in mind Lévi-Strauss' writing exercise).

It's taught early on. One assignment students do in the 1st grade is to organize objects according to color.

Isn't it bannable to "misgender" someone on twitter?

Not even american and started to find the lack of self awareness in comments like this very grating.

Race doesn't even exist so this thread is meaningless and that tweet is meaningless.
Who else enlightened here? I've just dismissed this whole thread as a waste of time

Lol nice job bro, see you later.

No self-respecting white man would want to procreate with that maggot regardless. Becoming a black supremacist is just a cope.

This thread reeks of ressentiment. It's not too late to shed your chains!

That's not even remotely what I was saying. Public and private schools just in the general lead to the same exact outcomes when you control for those variables. Whatever mix of nature vs nurture is involved is up for debate. It isn't purely either.
More educated parents means you'll be advantaged merely by osmosis. If they directly assist you that's another advantage.
More income means your private and public school will be better funded either way since even public institutions are funded by local governments, which means being able to hire better teachers and get better equipment in wealthier areas.
Also lets you hire help for your kids.
Anyway, that aside, give me a source on your claim and I'd be happy to look at it.

>>13469339
She could have every nigger in her class run a train on her during class and get away with it if she claimed it was to tear down white supremacy.

You're right, but it doesn't matter. These kinds of people don't actually care about race relations at all. They only care about feeling self-righteous, despite all the very obvious signs in their life that shows them otherwise.

What does that mean "the written word"?
Is she referring to the bible, if i believe in an idea form a book, does that make me a white supremacist? Someone help me understand

>>13468991
COPE

>>13468094
Yeah, I was thinking about how 1) African and (native) American cultures don't have rich literary histories and 2) European, Asian, Middle Eastern do. So you'd have to discount all the works of Asians and Middle Easterns to think what she said holds any relevance. Unless you somehow consider Arabs and Indians to be "white"

>>13466963

If they keep relating all noble things or pursuits back to white supremacy aren't they basically promoting white supremacy? It's like if you said "ice cream is racist" you don't suddenly convince your average person who likes ice cream to abandon it. You just have them hedging their bets and deciding that hating darkies is an acceptable price to pay for something good

>>13468910

Modern bluecheck Leftists are driven by narcissism and antintellectualism, they want to avoid confrontation and remain in an infantilised state were all their whims are "valid"- they dont have principles, they have defense mechanisms. They arent reading confucius, islamic theology or indian philosophy thats for sure, because those are also incompatible with their therapeutic and consumeristic ways of coping. But notice how 'adult' leftists often display an unhealthy libidinal investment in YA, comic books and childrens media such as steven universe, star wars and dr who.

The frankfurt school's criticism of the culture industry has no place in the modern left. It has been driven out by self esteem therapeuthic ideology of positive psychology. These people cant distinguish between political activism and consumerism.

I can't be bothered to read the whole 90 posts before mine to find out if someone has said something similar, but my sneaking suspicion is that - aside from the obvious hate of western civilization - people like this hate the written word because they can't twist, bend and distort it to their political agenda.
Sure, they tried with "Critical X theory" but those haven't really caught on in the mainstream.
What's written persists and they hate that they can't abuse it.

I don't understand people like this, who think that the canon is white supremacy or whatever. I could maybe see their point if every American high schooler came out of grade 12 with an encyclopedic knowledge of Shakespeare but only Shakespeare; yeah, sure, let's expand the canon, let in other voices and so on and so forth. But no one graduates knowing fucking anything about anything. It's like they're fighting battles that ceased to be relevant 60 years ago.

According to Mutts, Middle Easterners and North Africans fall under the arbitrary umbrella of “white”.

The real red-pill is realizing modern democratic man is so racially degenerated that the depth of his racial sentiment doesn’t pierce the skin.

Can you imagine telling a Spartan they were equal to a Helot because they “look similar”? Without any real (spiritual, social, political, etc.) distinction between groups, all that’s left is mass appeals to the lowest common denominator for the direct purpose of provoking mob democratic action. Same with the whole PoC umbrella that gets thrown around— it’s a massive leveling of differences and hierarchy into a few easily understandable racial tensions to be used as demographic fifth columns.

.... uhhh .... so only white folks are able to read and write .... yyeeahhhh ....

Go away, white chick.

the funny thing is, the more things the intersectionalists find to be things and tools supporting "white supremacy", the more whites actually prove that they do have supremacy.

Remarkably 11th and 12th grade had farenheit 451 and 1984 and brave new world anti government and anti censorship stuff. They never told us about The Turner Diaries though. But I lived in an upper middle class mormon republican district. 10th grade was the worst because it was foreign ethnic lit year. God india sucks.
