THIS. The sting/cut may be the pain of truth. Take that pain and use it to change. I've seen so much of what I dislike in myself and others
If you are a white liberal/progressive some of what Ta-Nehisi says is going to sting/cut. Please resist your urge to assume he's wrong. https://twitter.com/tanehisicoates/status/905749629471424512 …

this past year and am using it to change myself and grow.This is how we win.

Right. That sting should be a cue that there's truth there. I'm trying to use it as a signal to listen rather than to ignore.
-
Exactly, the sting is a warning sign to me; screaming in my face: "listen to this, it's important, pay attention!"
-
It's also pretty off-putting that there are so many white people here defending themselves. Methinks they don't actually get it.

I agree, and Ouch! Admit I had to start skimming by the end but the data is compelling. Hard look at White America.

I knew the minute I saw miserable Trumps face, and I watched it live. Trump's actions are upsetting to me, but not in any way surprising.

No one can call themselves liberal or progressive if they are at this point unaware that Whitelash put that asshole in the White House.
