In this response to a wellknown article by Randall Kennedy taking three prominent critical race theorists to task for various errors of omission and commission I analyze the basis of his disagreement with us I find that his critique gains its apparent force from his deployment of certain metaphors "” for example the "pool" of candidates of color "” rather than others eg a rushing river
