“It's a fairly paralyzing time to be a guilty white American liberal. With Donald Trump elected on the basis of one of the race-baitiest presidential campaigns in modern American history, Republicans firmly in power, and mounting evidence that progress⟳ toward racial equality has been stalled out for years if not decades, it feels like⟳ there's little chance of substantive progress⟳ anytime soon. What can the conscientious white ally do?”

“The GOP's main counterargument has been to stir⟳ up race⟳ panic. Fox News and NBC today decided a Trump-funded ad was so race-baity they had to pull⟳ it from the air (though not before showing it to millions of viewers first).”
