Agreed. My only concern is when it goes overboard, when we hear about "white shaming" and whites apologizing for the color of their skin. We ALWAYS over-shoot, it appears to be an American tradition.Extremists across the spectrum need to be challenged & culturally marginalized relentlessly, and most importantly, by those who have been spinning and deflecting for them.
But also this sort of thing needs to be dealt with at school, when kids are young, when they learn who they are and what life is about. Problem is the very same right wing fascists call this indoctrination, because they know it goes against their very thoughts.
My kids had an advantage, growing up in a mixed-race family, but from what I saw, kids really don't give a shit about skin color right now. What I don't want to see is us going too far.

You are right to be concerned about ""white shaming" and whites apologizing for the color of their skin."
From what I have been reading, this is how the iGen and GenX has become the biggest core group of this new ultra-right reactionary political movement. Did you notice in the film and pictures of these marches and protests, very few older people? I am attempting to inoculate my teen from this sort of craziness right now.
I found this article informative on the root of this madness. It is known as reactionary politics. This nation is only reaping what it has sown after eight years of the MSM telling the masses that Zionism is cool, Black nationalism is cool, but white identity is evil and institutional racism is so prevalent, it's the worst thing since genocide.
I don't think a lot of people understand what reactionary politics is, and it's real and very dangerous consequences.
