The US being what it is - real paranoia over race - I guess it is better to
leave this subject untouched.

_______________

CB: Paranoia , in the sense of irrational and unfounded fear, is not an accurate way to describe the US on race. What you have in the US is white supremacy or racism ; and the victims of it , people of color, particularly Black and Red are not "paranoid" ,but have wellfounded fears and protests.

 Logically, therefore, scholars and intellectuals of color militantly critique books, lectures and other intellectual expressions that express and reflect this white supremacy or racism. Even liberal scholars can reflect white supremacy, such that one part of their work is anti-racist, but mixed with it are racist concepts. The dualism of liberals on race is a well-settled phenomenon.
