Okay, so you can claim not to be outraged and insulted, but you can "vehemently disagree." And I can point out that discussing things calmly will get you further, and you can double down and call my words disingenuous again. And you can ignore that I read the book and you didn't, and spend an hour piecing together a case out of internet quotes... but ignore my broad point, which is "people are racist, people are opportunist, but opportunism isn't driven by racism" by saying

    I support the concept of intersectionality, and I do not think you can look at racial oppression without also looking at economic oppression.

Support it all you want. Twelve links that say "blacks have it rough" doesn't say "blacks have it rough because the 'white masters' set out to keep them down."

But honestly? If this is you having a civil discourse, we don't need to do it anymore.
