That's progress, not a problem.
Tell yourself whatever you need to, but you also need to consider that fact that some of us have been having these discussions with you for more than a decade and you come back with the exact same shit.
Yeah, you'll be shocked that I have no sympathy at all fo powerful people whining they get pushback on their bad ideas.

Taibbi is arguing for the right to assert racial superiority? This is as dumb as you calling him “compromised by Russians.”
And you’re full of shit. Your gripe with Taibbi was his criticism of DiAngelo, not his assertion that whites were superior or his right to argue that assertion. How am I sure of that? Because he never argued the latter two, ever, anywhere. He wrote books about police brutality and judicial mistreatment of minorities!
So now Gloria Steinem is a racist enabler.
You’re absurd. Clinically. You’re arguing against free speech and in favor of mob rule over speech.
ETA: I think you’re crazy. But I think the cure for crazy thinking is discussion with the crazy. You’ve thrown in with people who think the cure is to get the crazy fired, have them ruined, make it so they cannot speak. It’s deeply un-American.
