Yea, I started to get suspicious when he called Hegel a fool and a fraud.
The ironic part is that the author himself relies on definitions to make his point. He slyly asserts that “social constructs” are “made up” and therefore should and can be ignored like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Of course, I doubt that the author would claim that there are no social differences between a black woman and black man, because that would expose his argument for what it is.
He writes to say: There is no essence in these identities, therefore we can ignore them. His argument is just a bunch of jargon piled on top of “I don’t see race”.
