I feel like this conversation could be put into a time capsule for use by future historians on this era. One sees why John McWhorter's analogy of this "anti-racism" scheme to a religion is so apt. It leads to the same impassioned incoherence. Predictably enough (I've had this too), it ends up with the interlocutor running out of reasons and hurling racialized slurs. Sad part is that this is the same cohort that claims to care So Much About People Of Color. Part of me has come to feel these are all "luxury beliefs" and in a better world the energies would be directed toward really helping people in credible ways.

Yup. As I said, I've had all kinds of people commenting on my articles. Some were exactly the kind of `Trump supporting conservative that Drav would describe as racist before even speaking to them. Yet not once have any of them, even though we often disagree, said anything remotely racist. Yet it's happened numerous times with these people who claim to care so much about racism and social justice.
