There's a reason you have no comments on this article. People are terrified of being called racists. If you offer an argument that flies in the face of progressive groupthink, you risk attracting an enthusiastic group of racists who misunderstand your argument and believe they have found a white supremacist brother.

So most thinking people decide to hold back on their anti-progressive comment.

However, it needs to be said that progressive thinking has failed over the past year and this has led to Biden/Harris conquering the Democratic Party's nomination and the 2020 election. Identity politics is a scam and it will never form the basis of a true movement. identify politics seeks victims to recruit into its vacuum of embittered politics but then fails to offer solutions, and certainly does not offer any unifying, big picture vision, as would MLK or Gandhi.

Racism is a more general condition, lodging itself in the lazy mind and generally more prevalent in unhappy people. Anyone can be racist. Black, white, Latino, Asian, doesn't matter. Walk around an underserved neighborhood anywhere in the world, talk to people and listen. You'll hear plenty of prejudice based on color and land of origin, in all directions. You'll also hear gender misogyny and religious prejudice, of course.
