You take what she says and run it to absurdist ends. It's like a new orthodox religion for white progressives who need hobbies.
No sensible thinker would engage a person such as you, who simply screams "Bigot!" at everything he sees. They'd deem you frivolous. And yet you do it, over and over and over.

Once again, you need to realize that well meaning people do, say and support racist ideas. I do it. You do it. Tiabbi did it. The challenge is for you to accept that and realize that it doesn’t reveal an irredeemable aspect of your character unless, having seen it, you persist.
Which is 1A in the thesis of White Fragility, which you “enjoyed”. I only ask that you read further bcs you clearly didn’t get it from there. How To Be Antiracist involves a black author realizing his own racist ideas, which I both recommend you read and realize that you will still ignore, because it’s not really anything I and others haven’t said to you for coming up on multiple decades.
