You think calling me “idiotic” absolves you. (You even think that Ty or Hank not also calling you out absolves you.) It doesn’t. You are the problem. The reason we can’t move past these problems is your denial.
You and I are racist. You and I are misogynistic. You have to admit these things to yourself or you’re going to keep beclowning yourself. The problem isn’t people telling us how we are failing. The problem is that we keep failing.
Get your white, male head out of your white, male ass and care about anything beyond yourself.

FWIW, I don’t read ANY of these “think pieces” any of you post. As to “calling out” anyone, the entire fights that happen here are definitional. Like you are clearly not one to do harm to people of color, but you recognize you carry racial baggage. So you say you are”racist.”
Seb does not want to do harm to people of color so he say he is not racist.
I posted a anecdote when my son was living in a neighborhood where I did not belong, a very poor part of Detroit. I was dropping him off and parked in front of the only open business in the area; a liquor store. There was a 60 yo black man in front staring at me. I did not belong there. My car did not belong there. I realized I had an unbalanced fear or a 60 yo rummy who would not harm me, beyond maybe asking for a dollar. I realized I would not have the fear for a white rummy.
Seb said that didn’t make me racist, meaning I was a good person, and not hateful. He is right. But given your definition (and mine) it shows I’m racist.
The two of you have differences, but if you don’t get this disconnect you just throw feces at each other.
Edit: I left a “not” out at first.
