We need to separate bigotry and systemic racism. Anybody can be biased against anybody else. But systemic racism is specifically the province of white people because we control the system.

For example, Black people absolutely should vote for things that accrue to their benefit. Unanimously if possible, because they are too small a minority to create change by themselves. For them to exercise political or economic power, they need help. If they're divided, it's largely hopeless because white people are more likely to support something they perceive as unifying in the Black community.

As always in this sort of discussion, I must mention that the foremost purveyors of identity politics and pushing identities to the forefront are white Christians. But they don't realize it because they can't see outside themselves.

Articles like this generate charges of being self-serving because, well, they are. Racism has been a brutal, dehumanizing constant in the nation's history and always aimed in particular directions. White people flip out at the slightest whiff of criticism coming the other way, even though they still hold the institutional power.

Do you see why articles like this are a bad look and make people angry? White people - particularly religious and political conservatives - need to get over themselves and stop being whiny snowflakes. When you've been kicking the shit out of everyone else for centuries, bringing the system to equilibrium will mean taking some kicks in return.
