It's a great idea, but unfortunately I already tried to do that and could not find any way to shorten it enough to matter without losing the essence of the argument. Either I'm reduced to making bare claims without support--not very useful save for planting a flag in the sand, and the sand looks better without a flag--or it is still too long but atrociously dry. Perhaps it needs to be written by someone else, or by me on some day when I'm more inspired. But, anyway, I already tried to make it shorter, and the shortest version that seemed to capture the essence was about 2/3 as long, and considerably less readable.

It's not a simple argument: it essentially is grounded in an understanding of the very poor practical epistemology promulgated by critical theory and an understanding of how it has manifested in the area of race relations--and, since I dislike merely writing criticisms without offering at least an idea for how to search for a solution, the re-evaluation of CRT's tenets in the context of a sound epistemology is also indispensable.

I agree it feels overly-long, though. Thanks for sticking with it!
