  "textContent": "Jonathan Turley, a notable constitutional scholar and law professor, runs a popular law blog where he covers legal matters and other topics. On the matter of other topics, we have “White Time”: Dutch Professor Argues that Time Itself is Racist, a look at some thought-provoking scholarslop coming out of the Netherlands. Before discussing the chronological-racial academic stylings of professor Zakia Essanhaji, Mr. Turley noted that this paper follows in the tradition of Rutgers professor Britnney Cooper’s academic (loosely defined) work on time being racist. I vaguely remember the Cooper thing being a thing years ago, and I am not sure I needed to be reminded. I am loath to include quotes from any of these papers on this humble website (I am happy to leave that to Mr. Turley), but I suppose I ought to give you a hint. Here, I excerpt a quote from Essanhaji’s paper which was quoted by Mr. Turley:\n\n> White time is not simply the time of the privileged, but the power to define temporality and progress itself. It is the colonization of time, known as the system of modernity/coloniality.\n\nI thought about making a “it’s not simply this, but that” AI joke. However, while I am hard on the LLMs sometimes, I am afraid only a human could come up with this scholarslop. I thank Mr. Turley for making us aware of what is going on in the universities in the Netherlands… I think.\n\nYou can reply to this article from your own site by sending a Webmention.",
