I think we agree on far more than you think we do - and we have the same aim but different opinions on the best way to get there.. If Cornel West and Ta-nehisi Coates can't agree a strategy to combat white supremecy then I don't think we're going to manage it after three Medium exchanges

I'm heavily influenced by the Taoist philosophy of Wu Wei (effortless action) - that doesn't mean inaction, it means only acting when it's effecitve to do so. I don't see that happening online or with identity poltics and anti-racism. I see things getting worse more noisy and more confused. To win the fight, the answer might be to write your book and be an author - Amanda Gorman may have changed the world by doing exactly that.

I look forward to chatting and debating again soon. Stay safe in the pandemic and keep writing the awesome articles. :o)
