Hey Scott! I think I just have a morbid fascination with how long a person can watch their arguments crumble around them before self-awareness kicks in. Because the truth is, this is how a meaningful number of people, some of whom have actual power and influence, think about racial issues. Thankfully though, these conversations usually take place over several days. So they aren't as infuriating as they would be if I tried to have them in one go.

Also, that sucks about Medium. There are a few Medium exiles here!😅 It seems they've gotten extremely trigger happy with banning people for hurting the feelings of their "professional victims."

Yep, I simply told the author, by The way they were talking, it seemed they had never had a personal relationship with a person of color. This person used every foul word they could think of to call me. So I asked them if they kissed their grandmother with that mouth. Next thing I know I was restricted from commenting. So, I left Medium.
