I appreciate some of the points you make here, but I would advise you against painting blacks in this country with a broad brush with words like “Get a job” or “Start by not looking and acting like thugs.” That’s the very sort of attitude that these “woke” types — the ones you mention who often say racism by blacks is not real — are displaying in their own rhetoric.

One person commented on an article I wrote recently saying, with no qualifying words, “Your ancestors made race to justify evil and greed.” Aside from the rather mystifying idea that race is something that had to be “made,” they didn’t say which ancestors and they don’t know my family history. So I have to assume that they were making a blanket statement about white people who came generations before me.

We cannot let ourselves sink to that level. The way to deal with so-called anti-racists is to expose their racism for others to see. That will remove the credibility that the public eye gives to them and thus neutralize their power.
