Hi, David. My ‘how-to’ essay argues for the usage of the phrase when needed, in the proper context, to certain people, for the right reasons. I cite 2 ways to counter bigotry with it. Did you notice them? Secondly, I do not see generalizations as inherently racist or wrong. They can be, but they are not necessarily so. The causes, conclusions, and responses to generalizations are important. Unless I write ‘all white people’ I am not necessarily talking to, or about, all white people. I believe in consensus, a general consensus, and when we can see polling data and surveys — white people then form a consensus. Like a vote or a court ruling, the majority opinion wins. White America’s viewpoint and response to race and racism are clear. With that, I may not see it necessary to qualify. Like in politics, it is okay and necessary to shade a state accordingly. We have red states. The state of white America is racist. Naming it is political, as Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom writes. There are many ways to resist. There are many ways to justice. Calling it out has always been a way. Does this answer your question?
