Agreed, Stephen R. Hicks researched how Nazism at first had great support in academia, and among women. We live with so many distorted myths about the past.

I've worked in the Jazz business since the late 1970s, to say "bigotry" does not exist between fellow musicians is nonsense. Art Pepper, in his book, "Straight Life" referred to the early 1960s as a time of "Crow Jim", reverse bigotry, and I've had many musicians confirm that story. No question the base impulses of endemic bigotry is often moderated by talent and professional self-interest, but it often dissipates and breaks down after a performance. I've seen it happen many times.

Yes. graduate programs will have 10 candidates for just one position, so someone who "rocks the boat" will be ruled out. Columbia is no longer an intuition of inquiry, but a monastery prescribed dogma.

@ReasonableForseeability Based on your Avatar, I would have thought you would not have said either "unbiased" or "objective", but "REASONED". It appears Hughes prefers to not just go with "feeling" correct, but will explore and discover what is correct, he then has a REASONED position. Both the extremism of the left and right are powered by PATHOS. I call myself a radical moderate.

Overseas? Where? Often someone who lives in a new culture as foreign born will not recognize implicit discrimination. I've lived outside the USA and only learned later by correspondence the level of discrimination I was subject to. Even James Baldwin talked about it when he lived in Paris which at the time was said to be free of racial prejudice. Ironically, France is worse now than it was pre-Algerian independence.

@DarkAngel2512 "We", since Coleman's birth in 1996, almost 10 years after CRT began to be academically formalized by Crenshaw, et al, have recategorized race yet again. I use Jazz as an example of something I experience directly and know about. Jazz is now formally an ideological ghetto captured by race essentialists, which has rendered it artistically moot. We had a momentary flowering in the mid-1980s, but that's long over. I currently live in a Gay ideological ghetto with rainbow crosswalks, rainbow lifeguard stations, rainbow flags in business windows, even my local 7-11 displays a "safe place" rainbow flag in the window, which includes its corporate logo. "We" are humans, only the long and tedious process of evolution will alter our endemic bigotry and narrowing of perception based on tribal affiliation. This is why we need to teach young people both CIVICS and CIVILITY, something no longer considered relevant. It's Nietzsche's "Will to Power" for the 5% Hughes and others have identified.

Sorry, you are fantasizing that unicorns are real, not helpful.

I'm a Jew bar-mitzvah'd at a Chabad House in Los Angeles, and the "Tanya" synthesis/integration was not so new in the 18th century. I'm also concerned by your writing out "G-dly", which I refrained from doing here?
