The Coddling of the Capitalist, White-Supremacist, Patriarchal American Mind
by Robert Jensen ¶ [This is an edited version of a talk given to Common Ground for Texans in Austin, TX, March 5, 2016.] ¶ To avoid being conned, politically and intellectually, it’s important to examine how a debate is framed and what ideology is advanced by that framing. What is the scope of the question? How was the direction of the inquiry decided? Who set the boundaries of the conversation?Robert JensenMar 7
In the past hour, 30 Children in the US Have Been Raped
This is the culture of rape. Get a clue. Anecdotally, six young boys is nothing. The figures speak for themselves.The culture you live in is not the culture you think you live in. We whine that poor children in the undeveloped world are at-risk. ¶ ALL children are at risk. It is dangerous to even be a child. ¶ The collected data does not all agree. But the conclusions overall are the same. ¶ In the time it has taken me to collect these numbers, over sixty children have been raped. The clock is ticking. To assume that rape and HIV are not related is patently absurd.
