Mate... you and I have been banging this drum since about 2020. https://medium.com/lucid-nightmare/anti-racism-is-self-defeating-718c0e16016e- that's me in my article trying to encourage more people to read your article because they wouldn't listen to me because I'm a Penguin, but couldn't refute you because you're a a black guy. https://level.medium.com/dear-woke-allies-your-assistance-with-racism-is-no-longer-required-c29207c46606
It's taken the political Left three years and a crushing election defeat to realise they've been barking up the wrong tree and even now there are still people sticking to this dead-in-the-water ideologue nonsense. Racism is alive and kicking and this sort of thing has simply fanned the flames of it. Those people peddling in skin colour as indicating anything other than an amount of melanin need to be gently and firmly told to stay in and be quiet.
You're bang on here, you were bang on back then - but I suspect this (like many centrist pieces) will not be promoted by the Medium overlords. :o/
Great stuff as always.
