In reply to the discussion: Liberal Racism: 25 Things I Learned After I Wrote About ISIS and White Racism at the Daily Kos [View all]qazplm
(3,626 posts)seems to me this is about making the perfect the enemy of the good in some ways.
Take men and women. Let's assume not one single man is bereft of sexism. Let's assume not one single man can understand how it is to be a woman in the world. Do we then just declare are men misogynists? Of course not, we identify those on the right path, encourage them to continue down that path, and likewise, those on the wrong path, we deal with them as well.
Same with racism, going after liberals as if they are worse than or even equal to right wing racists is ridiculous. And I say this as a black man. I don't have "white guilt." I also don't think someone with an honest heart who is trying to do the right thing needs to be gone after as if they are at best an ignorant racist.
