    To frame an argument like that is to say through subtext that no act of reformation can ever be enough.

    That’s the point though. When you frame it that way you turn it into an extreme issue, to which you allowed an extreme reaction. You can never acknowledge progress or growth or change. It’s can therefore be perpetual ragebait. And Americans eat this up. They love it.

    One of the key tenants of modern leftist ID politics is that racism is a form of original sin that can never be washed clean, and often ti goes so far to claim that being white is makes you irredeemable racist, thus you own an infinite debt to minorities. And you must spend your life perpetual seeking forgiveness for your racism and being forever vigilant at any possibly racist thoughts you or anyone you know has.

      You’re right, just trying to be a voice for change.
