Searching for Racism in all the Wrong Places

[TBC: "Abraham Maslow, one of the most well-known psychological theorists promoting self-esteem and self-actualization, found in his later research that his theories had been wrong. He tried to curb the enthusiasm for his earlier theories... [but] Maslow found that satisfying the so-called self-esteem needs did not produce the desired results.  And that is the problem with so many of the self theories. They begin with fallen flesh and simply end up with another face of fallen flesh. Nevertheless, few people pay attention to research that does not support their faith in self-love, self-acceptance, and self-esteem" (Bobgan 12 Steps to Destruction  pp. 52-53).]

In 1966 Abraham Maslow wrote, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail." CRT (Critical Race Theory) has raised every problem, ill, woe, and issue that plagues the human race to be an issue of racism.

In "Racist dinosaurs? British professor links white supremacy to geology and 'pale-ontology,' we find a very white Professor Kathryn Yusoff doing just that: Yusoff argues that 'forms of imperial geology embedded in Western and Enlightenment' have perpetuated 'anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, and anti-Brown environmental and racial injustices'."

“In her introduction, she claims that her book aims to ‘understand geology (in its broadest sense) as a tool of raciality that has historically shaped the grounds of struggle and continues to shape material relations of racism into the future’."

The evidence, it seems, is her imagination: “She also accuses scientists of creating ‘geotrauma’ by erasing the geologies that belong to other ‘imaginations of earth.’ She writes about ‘missing earths’ - Indigenous earths, Black earths, Brown earths - that have been overshadowed by a ‘colonial earth’ created through ‘white geology,’ suggesting that even rocks have been roped into white supremacist schemes.”

It seems because she can imagine other earths for which there is no evidence that proves they were destroyed by the colonialism of the rocks or a "colonial earth." This is one of those rare times that I am at a loss for words.
