John Derbyshire has a good take on leftist argument. It exists in a vacuum:
We Badwhites understand perfectly well, in fine detail, what the Goodwhites believe. How could we not? The whole culture is saturated in their Narrative. We only have to pick up a magazine; turn on our TV; go to the movies; call on our kids' schoolteachers or college instructors, or our pastor, or our company's HR Director. We shall read (or see, or hear) straight unadulterated Narrative.To Bill Maher, Sarah Palin is a “cunt” and a “dumb twat,” quote unquote. Showing that famous leftist appreciation of astonishing female accomplishment and intelligence. This is the kind of decency to which we will return in the fevered imagination of Hillary Clinton if Democrats can but once again obtain a congressional majority.Goodwhites, however, have no clue what Badwhites believe. Any thinking outside the Narrative is utterly opaque to them. They never engage with it. They have a sort of comic-book caricature of it in their minds—racists, Nazis, guys with hoods, wife-beaters: supremacy! racial purity! hierarchy! superiority! patriarchy!—but it's nothing like reality.[1]
