Are you familiar with Dr. James Lindsey with "New Discourses"? Also Dr. Peter Boghossian, who was formerly employed at Portland State University.

Gabriel Rockhill is working toward a history of the development of non-historical materialist bourgeois critical theory, an example of one of his lectures that covers this quite well. It is not easy listening but worth it:

Couple things. In terms of shear numbers alone, there are millions of poor and extra poor white people in America. No other race has as many poor people in it as the White race.
I saw your whistleblowing video on youtube. It's a very clear representation of the threat to our field right now.
