According to the national White Privilege Conference, there really isn't anything white people can do right regarding racism.

Note that “Progressives Today” is an organization about exposing “progressives”, not a “progressive” site.

Very true, the context matters, but we didn’t want to visit the site. They are exposing the racism.

I follow Progressives Today on twitter.

I love their aggressive nature of taking the fight right to the proglodytes.

They act afraid of people of color

There's a DAMN good reason for this, and it's not physical fear. MANY of us have busted our asses, often through as much if not more adversity than many blacks or Hispanics, to climb the social and corporate ladder to our positions. To have a single black man or black woman call us a racist, regardless of context or verity, would absolutely destroy the credibility we've worked so hard to attain and turn us into social and corporate pariahs for the same.

The very definition of racism has been maligned and destroyed and bears no meaning to the dictionary or historical definition under the modern convention of the word. It's a damn shame and it's destroying people.

I’ve thought this POTUS had so far successfully set race relations back 60 years. I think I had better be ready to revise and more than double that.

I font every point on this list to be absolutely true, if you are referring to LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE White people.

Every white liberal / progressive I have seen thinks about Black people exactly this way.

I think blacks would be surprised that whites don't think about them as much as they think.

One of my favorite things is to hear a black say, "Whites think...".
