Example text
And this is where the pursuit of moral authority ends in something both pernicious and paradoxical. ” Here they are seen as a different kind of humanity, as essentially unlike “mainstream” white humanity. And the essence of this “otherness” is their injuredness and helplessness. Because the interventions are justified by, and respond to, only these qualities, helplessness becomes the identity they are recognized for. It is the identity that makes them useful in the larger drama of white institutional redemption.
Particularly in the study of race, the kind of hard and absolute causality that we routinely require in the hard sciences is simply not possible. When we don’t even have agreed-upon definitions of things like race and intelligence, for example, it is impossible ever to purely isolate them as variables. The best the social sciences can hope for in the area of race is a very gross isolation of variables that infers. But inference poorly serves ideological struggle, in which people long for hard causalities to throw at the other side.
This, of course, is the white liberal’s crucible—he gets to define America’s racial reform as interventionism, but he lives without even enough moral authority to declare himself racially innocent and have the declaration stand. So when a white liberal and a black conservative meet, there isn’t much business to be done. And the problem is not just in our different mandates. For example, I not only admire the white mandate, but I also admire the white liberal for recognizing it and taking it seriously.
