“The Nation” Attempts to Fight Racism with Racism

Have you had enough racism from the Woke yet? This article by a 42 year old graduate of Harvard Law School is courtesy of The Nation, a publication that brags that it was “founded by abolitionists in 1865.” Here’s an excerpt demonstrating what now passes for an attempt [see The Nation’s About page] to “bring about a more democratic and equitable world“:

I’ve said, here and elsewhere, that one of the principal benefits of the pandemic is how I’ve been able to exclude racism and whiteness generally from my day-to-day life. Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time. I can, more or less, only deal with whiteness when I want to. Their cops aren’t hunting me when I drive through my neighborhood; their hang-ups aren’t bothering me (or threatening me) when I’m just trying to do some shopping.

That’s because I haven’t been driving or shopping in person. White people haven’t improved; I’ve just been able to limit my exposure to them. I’ve turned my house into Wakanda: a technically advanced, globally isolated home base from which I can pick and choose when and how often to interact with white people.

This article has been noticed by many on Twitter. One of those people is one of my favorite writers on Twitter, Thomas Chatterton Williams. His Tweet and the resulting comments are well worth a visit:
