In response to ""Urgency is a white supremacy value." -- (link)" by Strongbad

Not exactly the phrase I would use, but I can see the argument for it. -- (edited)

Social justice should be based on unity and consensus’s building, which takes time, whereas the status quo is served by fracturing attention and demanding that we focus on whatever issue is the most urgent *right now*. The problem with these sorts of declarative statements seeming to come out of nowhere is that we generally don’t see all the underlying work that goes on, just the end product, so yes, it seems absurd on its face.

Unless I’m misunderstanding your post and you were cherry-picking that turn of phrase because you agree with it?

  - If you attempt to communicate, and people need to understand underlying context in a simple message, then you are not communicating clearly. -- nm - crash davis Jul 3, 11:43 4
    - I don’t see anything in the original message that is unclear, not that it matters since we are not even its intended audience. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 3, 12:07 1
