Progressive white person here: I think most of us don’t think this way. We’re trying to understand and internalize the role while people as a group have played in the repression of people of color. But, as always, some people take it too far. So it becomes a practice of public self-flagellation and sanctimony. Holier-than-thou liberals are pretty exhausting

Internalize the role… What a bunch of crap. Golden rule , treat others as you wish to be treated. Simple. No more of this crap

“White people” are not a group stop it with this nonsense. 7th generation Americans from the Midwest say this because they’re a monoculture. An Albanian from the Bronx has more in common with a Puerto Rican from Harlem than they do with someone from an all-white football town in Ohio.

Grow up and stop projecting.

I don't disagree but but by letting it slide, you are approving it. Silence is complicity.
