But he's still a shit.

We have higher expectations for white progressives at least in part because we think their hearts are in the right place and it should be possible to bring them around. And when someone like you says that someone like him is a shit, you think they might care. But the racism of the average Trump voter, I suspect, is more damaging, and we don't really have a good idea about what to do about it. (Electing Obama only made things worse, no?) More attractive to turn on the progressives who come up short. According to the reviewer,

The book is more diagnostic than solutions-oriented, and the guidelines it offers toward the end—listen, don’t center yourself, get educated, think about your responses and what role they play—won’t shock any nervous systems.

I don't have any problem with diagnosis if it adds something, but what I really want are solutions.
