Some of the biggest tripe I've seen from a "progressive" site in quite some time. But I suppose it's worth discussing the article here, because it's become almost an accepted truism that it's OK in many "progressive" circles to loathe all white people, regardless of any other minority group to which they might belong.

As long as certain elements of the Democratic Party keep perpetuating this exclusionary meme (just as certain elements of the Republican Party have their own exclusionary memes), we will continue to alienate many of those who should support what we otherwise stand for.
