The climate change narrative and the racism narrative have a lot in common. Both are handwavy assertions believed or not believed mostly based on one’s culturally received ideas. Neither are issues any single person holds a firm grasp of in their heads. We are all just left with saying whatever we feel obligated to say in any given situation. Few feel free to publicly voice skepticism.

When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Yeah the marginalization of skeptics of the race narrative or the climate change narrative is contained to the Bay Area. Mcwhorter wrote his book because people who live within this part of California couldn’t. Of course the cultural obsession is different between the two issues, as are the repercussions for public skeptics, but I was noting an abstract similarity rather than an equality.

FIFM.
It is more than just the Bay Area, but in much of the country the skepticism is freely voiced. Surely the dominant voice here has been skepticism for the 16 years of our existence.

An anonymous forum. Uh huh.
