(27,202 posts)harmful -- than to work on themselves. Who wouldn't rather fight to take a statue down than examine one's own racist inclinations? Look at how hard people are fighting to focus on the statue in this thread.
I see no references to "housewives" in his post. What he does say is "It isn't Richard Spencer calling the cops on me for farming while Black. It's nervous White women in yoga pants with 'I'm with Her' and 'Coexist' stickers on their German SUVs." Why couch that in the more vague language like "even in a liberal college town" when he says it so well? What does "even in a liberal college town" even mean, when you say it? If we're surprised that racism exists even in a "liberal college town," then who's being racist in that town? If it's a surprise, then it's going to be white people with progressive stickers who live comfortably in their bubble.
