As a general rule, we don't avoid measuring progress for fear it will discourage us. Its often inspiring.
But remember, the conversation wasn't about whether we should be angry at bad things but whether it helps to evaluate levels of oppression

Is ur feeling that doing anything other than being angry at bad things is evidence of not caring about bad things & therefore morally wrong?
-
Everybody has feelings about things, Helen. Stop trying to make this an argument about your intellect and my emotions.
-
I'm asking you, That's what the question marks are for. Trying to empathise with ur point of view coz u don't seem to be saying anything
-
except that racial oppression is really bad & we should all feel very negatively about it. I think we can all agree to that.
-
again, you're not listening to me, you're just holding to your position. Bye.

My point is about being realistic and taking a comprehensive look at what that progress really means.
-
We all think that. You don't seem to be being very comprehensive. Very vague indeed & the only thing that matters is that racism is very bad
-
OK, Helen, bye now.
