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.

His idea is not necessarily racist. He’s finding fault with her book. I think unfairly, because he’s cherry picking her frivolous arguments, but again: That Is Not Inherently Racist.
If I take issue with an author’s thinking, and that author happens to be anti racist, that does not immediately make me a racist. It immediately makes me a critic.
