I really try to assume good faith. I was once a chump who grew up with deep ignorance of white supremacy, of how pervasive and insidious it is. Breaking out of that ignorance was not comfortable, but it was worthwhile. So for people who appear to be sincere, I try to give one sincere useful reply, to see what happens.

This almost never goes well. As DiAngelo writes, "White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium." https://libjournal.uncg.edu/ijcp/article/viewFile/249/116
