Thank you for bringing this fresh indignity into my ambit.
“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”
I apologize for my heinous thread-jacking back in the day (I was off on my own anti-eugenic bender spending far too much time and energy fussing with David Simon's late acolyte David Mills)
Clearly I was premature in my condemnation of Fryer, doubtless due to his association with the Kluxxers at the Manhattan Institute. The only thing more heinous would have been accepting a plugged nickel from Mellon-Scaife. If you have to associate with that kind of filth in order to get published or get attention, then that's attention that's not worth having. It's a Faustian transaction that reduces you to a pretentious Jesse Lee Peterson.
But back to Fryer.
Now that Jonathan Capehart and Lester Holt have become the personifications of black male testicular fortitude in the teleprompter-reading mainstream, and, there's a baseline expectation that you will always cape up, assimilate, conform, and comply - down to saying keev instead of kiev, well...., things have only gotten more Orwellian, fascistic, and insufferable.
Now, not only does the labor market expect you to act white, you have to act like Karen and virtue signal just so, with both the nasally intonation and clearly discernible upspeak -cut off your own nuts and do your best Janet Mock impersonation. Who could have imagined that the microsynchronization of body language would reach such an extreme?
