Thanks so much for your response. This was a tough piece for me! Things just come out. I felt a need to deal with what Dr. Fleming said about white supremacy needing hopeful people with a hope that doesn’t challenge the racial status quo. I also just read Rising Out of Hatred about Derek Black a former white supremacist. He mentions a whole lot of hope that his people had. And then, I read a piece about Stoicism. So, I tried to put it all together. I didn’t intend to go hard on pessimism. My main issue is the hope that doesn’t challenge the status quo. We need the opposite of that hope. Thanks for your response!!
