Ugh, God, I really wish more people were capable of thinking beyond this binary.

I'm doing what anybody who actually cares about opposing racism should be doing. I swear, if the right explicitly stated that oxygen was good for you, 5% of people on the left would immediatly asphyxiate themselves.

I have no idea why you weren't taught about the Wilmington insurrection. Quite possibly because there have been so many racial atrocities in America's history that it would be impossible to cover them all. The point is, if your teacher can't teach you about a topic like that without making you feel anguish about the colour of your skin then they shouldn't be a teacher.

Believe me when I say I care more about black children being made to feel discomfort on account of their race than you do. Don't let that little rush of righteous indignation to your brain tell you any different.

The difference is, if we want our children to inhabit a society that is less racist than this one, we don't do that by making young white children who are guilty of absolutely nothing feel resentful and anxious about the colour of their skin. Not to mention the increasing number of bi-racial children who are being caught up in this nonsense.

I didn't grow up in NC and I knew about the Wilmington insurrection. I want it to be taught accurately. I say so very explicitly in the article. I just don't want racial collectivism to be taught along with it. It used to be that anybody who was against racism would agree with me. Sadly, an increasing number of people think racism is only a problem if "the wrong side" does it.
