Well said. I would add that I don’t want to fight racism with racism.

That's the subject of Coleman Hughes' new book.

Here it is.
Coleman Hughes:... "A racially just, colorblind society is possible."...ergo, we're not there yet.
...even after Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation, etc....CH is just suggesting an alternative approach to confronting a genuine problem in this country...i.e. Racism...it would certainly help if those who are promoting racism would simply stop...don't see much evidence of that...therefore, it's not surprising that those suffering the effects would complain...make sense?
Unsurprisingly, that makes no sense.
Maybe if it was in sentence form, but probably not.
CH said a colorblind society was “possible”, not currently a “reality”…therefore, it is
not yet colorblind and racism still exists. Given that fact it is not irrational for oppressed people to complain about their condition…totally logical…but those who continue to support racism don’t want a light to shine on them.
Not sure why CH doesn’t want to call it like it is….in hundreds of years the racists haven’t gone away, so they need to have their political power removed…surely he’s in favor of that.
Clearly, a man in possession of considerable sagacity.

Good word.
Let's define that as 'in pursuit of beauty, truth, love and gratitude, courageously and honestly'. He's all that and more.
My frustration here is that those who could most benefit from listening to him refuse to.
Speaking of refusing to listen
Our resident linkster insists everyone read every link he puts up but hypocritically has refused to read Dr. Risch's well-researched paper on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine/zinc/azithromycin.
He is a case study in confirmation bias, Mark….
He lacks expertise and education and can’t understand research papers, so he searches Google
for that which he supports while ignoring all of those things that refute his stance.
It’s clear that he feels smart by pretending to lead discussions, but he actually knows nothing.
We’ve all met THAT GUY at some point.
Well, you see Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo
