ethnicity with a hard r comes to haunt again followed by appiah’s desire for cosmopolitanism
![And we can find it throughout his career, in his vexed relationship to the conservative logics of Daniel Patrick Moynihan,[155] without even Moynihan's minimal political programmatics,[156] as well as in all his more recent publications, in which Patterson displaces race and racism by prioritizing problems of class and domestic pathology.[157] His own centralization of the essay "Toward a Future That Has No Past" (published alongside Moynihan in Public Interest), details an increasing tendency to "lumpenization," through which emerges a "universal culture of poverty."[158] In this text, salvation is found in the choice Black Americans have to think "Beyond Blackness," staged not as a multidimensional option but as an imperative: for blacks to engage in "de-ethnicating" and act "in concert with natural class-allies—those poor Whites, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and downwardly mobile Latins," the "black masses" must "cease to interpret the situation in racial terms](https://web.archive.org/web/20220207211745im_/https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLA9eazXoAwjnMV?format=jpg&name=large)

Thing is, I'm not even necessarily against interracial pairings being represented in media. It's just that, when that aspect seems to so frequently be the most "interesting" part of the plot, I have a hard time not feeling like some kinda fuckery is at play.

How can policies be “downstream� when society is LITERALLY the “navigation and allocation of resources�?
If society is the artifact, then policy is the practice…leaving me to ask “how do we interrogate cultural belief around THIS technology�??

"Policy lies downstream of society," @ezraklein writes. "Mandates are not self-executing; to work, policies need to be followed, guidance needs to be believed. Public health is rooted in the soil of trust. That soil has thinned in America." nyti.ms/3B0ptAD

Dear Black Philosopher Corps:
I am kinda confused by anthropology’s “ontological turn�. Does it differ all that much from an “epistemological standpoint�?

Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking, loving and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning.
