You're absolutely right (I'm going to overlook that insinuation about my trying to find a niche).

Yes, a large part of what's funding the anti-racism industry at the moment is white guilt. It's why white people read books telling them that they're all racist and are complicit in systems that were built before they were born. It's why I encounter people in my comments gleefully telling me about how they;re "owning up to their whiteness" but when I ask them what that means they can't tell me.

Do you know why? Because they don’t believe any of that gobbledygook.

Too much of this conversation has become about empty virtue signalling and blindly nodding along as they read screeds telling them how awful white people are because guess what, doing so assuages their guilt. They get to feel like one of the "good guys" because they posted a black square on instagram or because they read White Fragility and no black person's life is made any better.

So no, I’m not trying to find a niche, I’m trying to tell the truth. In a climate that is built on hyperbole, black victimhood porn and empty virtue signalling. It’s tragic that doing so makes me look like the enemy to some people, but if that’s how it is, that’s how it is. If you ever see me lie, even once, I genuinely ask you to call me out. But I can put my hand on my heart and say that every word I write is aimed at improving life for black people and opposing racism.
