22. Let's instead promote the false equivlency that black people control the levers of power

because what matters is not bringing about change but making sure old white men go through life without feeling a moment's discomfort, and if that means silencing the majority of the population, all the better. Pretend to care about power while flexing it in a way that you dismiss the lives and views of the majority of people on the planet. Now that's how to sow division. Get the rabble to keep their mouths shut, and only speak about what you allow them to.

This isn't about unity. It's about obedience to your world view and compelling the majority of the population to submit to your will. If you want to make sure inequality continues to dominate this society, continue to deny the importance of race. That is a key philosophy of the right, and the White Supremacists have ensured that white people now believe themselves more subject to racism than people of color. Such ideas work to perpetuate inequality. That is their purpose and function. Ignoring racism doesn't make it go away. It only worsens it, like tooth decay.
