White people cannot reasonably be expected to take responsibility for white supremacists. Muslims cannot reasonably be expected to take responsibility for Islamists. Trans people cannot reasonably be expected to take responsibility for Jessica Yaniv.

Of course not. The options aren't being held responsible for white supremacists because you have the same skin colour and failing to object to white supremacism. Consistent liberalism is an option. It requires objecting to bigotry AND collective blame.

Collective blame is a different issue...and yes, I think that’s definitely wrong. Like, white ppl today should not be blamed for slavery, of course, but all Americans have a responsibility to fix racial inequities that exist today because of slavery.

And Muslims absolutely should speak up loudly to condemn Islamists and trans ppl should also speak loudly against trans ppl acting like predators-we all should condemn these things of course, but there’s more onus on those who share a community w the offenders(Lost track of #

Is that like the equivalent of Muslims not confronting extremism within Islam because they don't consider extremist Muslims to be truly a part of Islam? Whereas in both cases, the reasonable party is claiming an absence of responsibility because of a lack of consistent ideology?
-
Kind of. The significant difference being race vs ideology. Muslims have a closer more immediate responsibility as it’s just variations of the same ideology...whereas ‘white’ is such a huge all encompassing term that does not denote any alignment of ideology.
