Beloved, the deed has been done. We have—since that ‘we’ must contain, by virtue of our system of government, if not the will, then at least the implied consent, of even the people who opposed with all their souls the choice you made—elected Donald J. Trump as president of the United States of America. Please take measure of every phrase in that sentence.
Whether he wishes to be or not, Donald Trump is the epitome, not only of white innocence and white privilege, but of white power, white rage, and yes, even of white supremacy.
The greatly stepped-up harassment of people of color, and Muslims, and immigrants in the wake of Trump’s election points to the sea change in our naked tolerance for such assaults, in the permission granted to diabolical forces that rob us even more of comity and support of the commonweal.
Donald Trump harms our nation’s positive racial future.
Yet, beloved, there remains, after all, the blackness that is prophecy, the blackness that is inexplicable hope in the face of savage hopelessness.
Beloved, if the enslaved could nurture, on the vine of their desperate deficiency of democracy, the spiritual and moral fruit that fed our civilization, then surely we can name and resist demagoguery; we can protest, and somehow defeat, the forces that threaten the soul of our nation. To not try, to give up on the possibility that we can make a difference, can make the difference, is to give up on our past, on our complicated, difficult, but victorious past. Donald Trump is not our final, or ultimate, problem. The problem is, instead, allowing hopelessness to steal our joyful triumph before we work hard enough to achieve it.

Actually Turkey Dog, your summary is substandard. A thought provoking book. White fragility need not apply.

There is no “white America” to write to. There’s just America, which has always held the motto that, “All men are created equal.” Licoln reminded us of this when he insisted slavery had to go. Dr King reminded us of this when he told us we hadn’t been qdequately living up to that ideal. But his words were heeded. This trash is not about helping us better live up to values we’ve always upheld. This is about saying you’re just a horrible racist no matter what you say, no matter what you do, no matter what and you just need to crawl up into a hole and die. Well if that’s all racial minorities have to say about anything, then screw them all.

Dyson, We Can’t stop your tears. You want your tears. You make money from your tears.

I think this bears repeating: ”YOU’RE A MEAN MAD WHITE MAN!!!”
That’s a hell of a thing to say in a debate.

This book is the most pitiful display of racial bias on display. Because we elected a white person we are racist, he is racist. Because we don’t see ourselves as racist we are racist. Because we are white we are racist. Does that about cover it? Oh wait one more, because I pointed out that you are calling us racist I am racist.

Sweep your own doorstep, Black America. People in glass houses… 13% of the US population commits over 50% of the homicides. Please don’t take my word for it. Look it up. FBI stats. Fix your own before you come to fix me and mine.
