      Is dialectical thinking really this difficult?

      you keep attributing a "larger point" that isn't expressed anywhere in the package, so my suggestion is maybe to confront your own feelings about facing this information instead of projecting them onto the work

      I take your point. It's not written out just the way I say it. But I sure get that from the message written out. Maybe that's just me, but I don't think so. This is my honest reaction as a reader, and it makes me not want to read what's in the actual articles.

      Like I said, you appear to be struggling with a negative reaction and instead of reckoning with what that might mean, you've decided to dismiss the project.

      I think my negative reaction will be shared by many. And I guess I've dismissed the project by not reading it, so yes. Not the way I want things though.

      The fact that your reaction may be shared by many is proof positive of the ubiquity of non-melanated Americans’ inability to confront, absorb and understand the country’s history and that history’s implications for its melanated population.

      That's basically my point. The headlines probably reflect reality as experienced by black Americans. But Black Americans do not need to be convinced about this. If target audience is whites (i.e. to persuade) the headlines put them off, as they did for me.

      So the black experience should be narrated not in the way black people experienced it but in the way that makes white people comfortable hearing about it. Cool, cool.

          no, but if you hope to reach an audience of white's to persuade them (and maybe this was not the goal), it helps to not ask those white people to believe something that's not true.
