...Not only do these people fail to see their complicity, but they take a self-serving approach to ongoing anti-racism efforts: “To the degree that white progressives think we have arrived, we will put our energy into making sure that others see us as having arrived.”

To be perceived as an individual, to not be associated with anything negative because of your skin color, she notes, is a privilege largely afforded to white people; although most school shooters, domestic terrorists, and rapists in the United States are white, it is rare to see a white man on the street reduced to a stereotype. Likewise, people of color often endure having their views attributed to their racial identities

My dad told me:

If you look for racists- you can find them anywhere. If you look for people of goodwill- you will find them everywhere. Which you look for is a personal DECISION.

I appreciate that man.

They've certainly destroyed the black family with social programs that reward bad choices and poor behavior while not rewarding good choices/behavior.

I don't know that I have one. It's an interesting viewpoint she represents. I do absolutely believe that many white "progressives" (hate that term) say and do all the white things...while never actually interacting IRL with any of the people they claim to care so much about.
