like 75 mean iq

if they don't even have hobbies how do you expect them to philosophize

presumably the study of a political movement would derive some value from the perspectives of those for whom the movement advocates?

>(((white))) professors

>philosophy requires a high IQ
lol

This was written by an afro trinidadian marxist. it's a good read.

BLM is a simulacrum of the civil rights movement sponsored by rainbow doritos. meanwhile, the bottom of american society has fallen off, millions of surplus ex-people condemned to non existence, from the increasingly policed inner cities, to opiate addled suburbs, to boomers staring blankly at slot machines. The visible world of social media, the world of People who Care, is but the tip of the iceberg, beyond it lies the Big Outside. Soon, those woke media hacks and academic paper pushers will find themselves out of a job and condemned to the Outside with the rest of the reprobates.

is this what nick lands twitter handle means? the dregs of american fascism?

wow, this really activates my almonds

>philosophy
>respected journals

>her or his

So awkward and stilted.

>waaah why doesn't your journal perfectly represent population demographics

This is what happens when you are taught to expect equality of outcome rather than opportunity. The simple answer to this dogshit question would be "no black philosophers submitted anything good enough for us to print it" but anyone with his head so far up his ass as to start a BLM philosophy journal isn't gonna be able to say that.

Beat me to it.

This thread is terrible. Please don't degrade the quality of this board by posting here.

A high-quality journal will never reflect the demographics of a country as long as the opportunities of certain groups are unequal to the majority.

If blacks on average receive worse education (or their education is wasted because of a shitty family/group of friends), their intellectual output will be worse than e.g whites.
You could also ask questions about the lack of white trailertrash philosophers and you'd get the same answer.

Any journal that reflects demographics is trash, because it needs to publish trash written by an unequal minority to keep up with their numbers.

>inb4 blacks are dumdums hurdur

T b h this thread is bait and I'm taking a shit as I write

this post is correct

>as long as the opportunities of certain groups are unequal to the majority.
this post is an apologist screeching his approved talking point until reality conforms to his political opinion

good.

They all are recording hip-hop music.

I am an apologist to whom?

I blame "both sides". Equal opportunities don't matter if a minority is unwilling to pursue them. The will of a minority doesn't matter if the majority doesn't strive for equal opportunities.

who does this shit

I know right, we've given them like a few decades to catch up, I mean, it can't be that hard

It helps

Oy vey shut it down

>Why are there little to no black philosophers in respected journals?

Blacks pretty much invented philosophy. Check out Plato and Aristotle.

>Why
It's just another conduit of oppression of the working class. These Champaign socialist (99% left leaning) types always do this.
Find a cause and use it against the people in order to make money and create division.
The end result doesn't even seem to matter anymore.

To be clear on this
>The end result doesn't even seem to matter anymore.
The end result being division, not unity. But they don't care about how societies break apart by forcing people into different groups instead of unifying under the flag / nationalism.

>Blacks pretty much invented philosophy. Check out Plato and Aristotle.

I dont think they were black
At least not according to Herodotus, who wrote about different cultures and their skin color of different peoples in the ancient world, at the same time as Socrates / Platon.

Mainly because 'blackness' has been institutionalized. Unlike what memefied white supremacists claim about their skin colour, American blacks are the group that has come closest to equating their whole identity with their skin colour. The parameters they operate within have been hijacked by factions of the Democratic party in the late 50s, some for nefarious purposes like turning them into pets for votes, others, out of good-will, but ideologically hijacked themselves by the power metanarrative that has been promoted in new-left-wing circles by post-structuralists.

Not only were blacks' academic efforts impeded on by years of racism, but after emancipation, the intellectual space they could move under was strictly defined by their ideological overlords. Hence, social rewards did not come from the pursuit of truth and intellectual integrity, but toting the power-metanarrative in word salads, while remaining unapologetically 'black' and 'authentic.

They really got fucked over and their efforts to undo the fuck-up is constitute a machine that only digs their grave even deeper.

You don't actually read any respected journals, you just want your racism to be validated

Bigot detected

The Jews only care about the Jews.

Actual good point on Veeky Forums and unfortunately not inaccurate

This desu, just say xir's

Not necessarily. The culture is something that has values around itself that are mimics of one another. Ergo, tropes will be repeated and respected.

These tropes are as follows:
Metaphorical abundance that border on pyrotechnics but are really meant for Kaffeestunde talks
A feeling of being lost
A transmutation of emotions into corporeal literary devices
A dearth of colors
A focus on knowledge being the way in which power/plots unfold
And most importantly, a sense of human oneness

Let's assume that you're right.
Their would still be out liner's.
Special snow flakes that are smarter even than the white man.
Oh wait there is, and you're a faggot.

JUST SAY "THEIR" FOR FUCK'S SAKE

ONLY REASON TO SAY HIS OR HER IS IF YOU NEED TO FILL UP A WORD COUNT

It really doesn't, that's like saying reading makes you smarter.

>Why are there little to no black philosophers in respected journals?
there are no american philosophers period

i am right, you don't have to assume

outliers exist, but the lower mean iq means a genuinely high score is very rare, given that you have to be roughly two standard deviations above the average of your ethnicity to merely be on par with the average white and east asian iq. i don't have to explain statistics to you, do i? the people in your picture are nameless nobodies no one's ever heard about outside of american schools, where i presume they're brought up as an example of shining black intellectualism

>not understanding the difference between singular and plural pronouns

IQ is largely in-born and immutable throughout life. You can't "catch up" any more than they already have with nutrition, etc. unless you change your genetics.

>complains about racism while displaying rabid homophobia

this is problematic

100% inaccurate btw

>HIS OR HER
did you just assume that there are only 2 genders? did you just put HIM in front of HER? your toxic masculinity is LITERALLY killing me right now. i can't even

We gave them ten thousand years to invent the wheel and they never caught up.

Are you referring to Africans specifically?

if something isn't institutionalised then it is as if it didn't exist. and yes, that includes you. that's just how neoliberal society works, the concentration camp is the nomos of the earth. The obsession with 'representation' is just a desperate attempt to cover up this fundamental fact.

no-one is 'catching up' to anything. we are witnessing an untold expansion of misery across all categories, but at least we have PR now.

They is used as singular when the referent is generic as in "ask anyone if they like music." This is a simple fact about the English language and disagreeing just reflects ignorance.

Seems super interesting. Do I have to be a Marxist to appreciate it?

Can you recommend more like your description please? Do you have a blog? I'd read your blog

>if something isn't institutionalised then it is as if it didn't exist. and yes, that includes you. that's just how neoliberal society works, the concentration camp is the nomos of the earth
nigga, just because you're aligning words in a (partially) grammatically correct sequence does not mean you're making sense. Also, no, blackness, should not exist as an identity. They've accidentally managed to do what white supremacist couldn't-build an identity solely on skin colour. Blacks in America are the only group this is true for and it's ruining them.

There are just as few Hispanic, Native American, and Asian philosophers. Europe has a highly literary and secular-philosophical tradition dating back to the Roman Empire, it makes total sense that you will find more White philosophers.

You have to realize that vast majority of Black Americans are the descendants of Black slaves. And half of all Black slaves arrived within 50 years of the Civil war. What this effectively means is that Black Americans have been in a state of civilization for 200 years. This shouldn't be something insulting to say, but it's hardly brought up. You don't reach Philosophy from scratch. You don't reach it 150 years after being able to write. That's absurd. Black Americans have literally been in a literary, analytic society for 200 years. Compare that to Europe's 2000 years. If they were able to have proportional representation in Philosophy after 150 years of civilization, that would be one of the most remarkable feats that any group of people has ever accomplished.

America isn't some matriarchal figure that gives equal proportioned microwaved meals to her ethnically diverse children. America is and has always tried to be a meritocratic Republic, where different groups can plot out different destinies with minimal coercion. That is the idea of "Liberty" and "Freedom". What this means is you are going to find differences between groups, so there will be more Black NFL players, more Philippine nurses, more Hispanic whatever they do, more Chinese engineers, more Jewish financiers, etc.

It's a great system.

Read Nick Land, he's copying his style
