[from Tim Wise's blog, a piece that earned him a rebuke from a contributor to The Black Agenda Report]...
JG sez:
Is it not conceivable that BOTH a) Tim Wise is a sorry-ass hack shamelessly exploiting the "diversity training" circuit AND b) what Alan Rudy and others (like Shag) are more or less correct about Michaels' analytical shortcomings? After all, Doug, you have often praised the virtues of being able to simultaneously hold two complex thoughts... I do find it a bit odd that you are so zealous about going to the mat to defend a critique of anti-racism that (as Shag has astutely pointed out) is fundamentally that of a cranky left-liberal rather than one of a radical Marxist... which is not to say that once you parse through Michaels' collapsed categories (excellent observation made by Alan Rudy) he doesn't have some useful things to say.
