    Thank you! The whole identity politics movement has always seemed to have a malicious edge to it for me. There is obvious racism built right into a movement that is supposed to be antiracism, and I feel like I’m living in crazytown that so few people seem to see it, including several people that I consider very intelligent people. For all the “progress” we’ve made over the last 2 decades, it feels like race relations are worse than they were back then. It really felt like we were close to racial blindness in the mid 2000’s, and now the agenda is to make race at the core of everyone’s identity. Anyone who speaks up about not wanting that world is berated as a bigot, and if they happen to be people of color then they’re derided as uneducated, or ignorant. It has been very frustrating trying to navigate through the current antiracism ideology. Like any good doublespeak it has positive elements to it, but the actual goals seem to be far more malicious than stated.
