re: #536 Gus

I really think that he is angry at Bell for diminishing the role of whites in the civil rights process. I think this is arguable from his rant about how the Space Traders thing portrays Jews as anti-Semitic for acting out of self-interest.

Bell’s response— or rather, the critical race theory response— would be that only the dominant group has the leisure of not acting out of self-interest in civil rights. Every other group, by virtue of not being the dominant group, will be acting in self-interest by allying with each other against the dominant group.

It doesn’t mean it’s not virtuous. You can act in self-interest and be virtuous too.

It’s really funny to see self-interest being portrayed as a terrible thing, too.
