5. Whites in the USA, with the greatest access to info, racial or otherwise, ain't entitled to "front"

"bafflement" or some narrative of a perceived "accident of social positioning."

These phrases might be the meaning for the poll numbers by this author, but in my view, these polls indicate no acceptable rationalities for any whites to use about the brutality and injustice that African Americans have endured. None. No excuses for whites "bafflement" by now. None. Whites have all the exposure to American reality and history that they want to have, "social positioning" be damned.

Your post is worth discussing, and I didn't read the other thread referred to here. But you might tackle the charge of "shit stirring," even if the poster's been censored. I'd like to read anyone's thoughts on that, given the tendencies around here for people to get labeled and disallowed any 'evolving' on issues.
