    Ok, I’ll get right on that. 🚶🏼‍♂️

    This writer proposes very little in the way of actual policies. And this subject has been covered many times over, by better writers. They seem to be very inwardly focused on their own Ashkenazi experience and only mention the latest bogeyman (bogeyperson?) of transgender people.

    Read W. E. B. DuBois’s book “The Souls of Black Folk”. In the introduction he describes well meaning liberals who don’t actually understand him like this:

    they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town; or, I fought at Mechanicsville; or, Do not these Southern outrages make your blood boil? At these I smile, or am interested, or reduce the boiling to a simmer, as the occasion may require. To the real question, How does it feel to be a problem? I answer seldom a word.

    Read this amazingly piece of classic literature, not some opinion piece written to fill a word count.
