Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
It's those of the "progressive" bent that are the problem. They've made it a habit not just to drink the KoolAid but also to serve it to everyone in the room. Every single day! They've developed a KoolAid addiction.
There is nothing at all honest about those people, whether they're white or black. They've immersed themselves so deeply in the false narratives--and they've refused to do any amount of independent research--that I really don't think they're reachable at this point.
And, they've found a captive audience--folks like Safety, who only argue for their limitations. They've created a sad world for themselves, and they actually think it's real.

To me the agerage everyday woke white liberal won't change because he's inundated with if from academia and media who seem to reward wokeness with work and worth.

Interesting devellopment: Keywords: hoist, petard: On how Prin... has backfired
...On September 2, Christopher L. Eisgruber, the president of Princeton University, made a major contribution to this emetic genre. In an open letter to the university “community,” he beat his breast about America’s overdue “profound national reckoning with racism.” He didn’t exclude his own university. Indeed, he beat himself harder as he bemoaned Princeton’s long history of “intentionally and systematically exclud[ing] people of color, women, Jews, and other minorities.” Nor, according to him, has that history ended. “Racist assumptions from the past,” President Eisgruber sobbed, “remain embedded in structures of the University itself.”
His confession did not go unnoticed. On September 16, the Department of Education sent President Eisgruber a letter. The letter minutes an interesting discrepancy. Since Christopher Eisgruber became president of Princeton in 2013, the university has received more than $75 million in taxpayer funds. It has also “repeatedly represented and warranted to the U.S. Department of Education . . . Princeton’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” What’s Title VI? Among other things, it’s the law that stipulates that no institution receiving federal funds may discriminate against anyone because of “race, color, or national origin.”
The Department is further concerned Princeton perhaps knew, or should have known, these assurances were false at the time they were made. Finally, the Department is further concerned Princeton’s many nondiscrimination and equal opportunity claims to students, parents, and consumers in the market for education certificates may have been false, misleading, and actionable substantial misrepresentations in violation of 20 u.s.c. § 1094(c)(3)(B) and 34 cfr 668.71(c).
...Had he lived to see the evolution of affirmative action, Alexis de Tocqueville would have put such developments down as examples of how in democratic societies the passion for equality tends to trump the passion for liberty. The fact that the effort to enforce equality often results in egregious inequalities he would have understood to be part of the “tutelary” despotism that hovers like a malign bureaucratic shadow over modern democratic regimes.
That’s putting it in somewhat elevated terms, however. Closer to earth, we espy a grubby skirmishing for power and social prerogative, cloaked, to be sure, in the rhetoric of justice and equality but deployed in an acrid atmosphere of fanaticism and petty betrayal, incidental byproducts of the larger betrayal of the university’s fundamental mission to form responsible citizens, pursue truth, and preserve and transmit the highest values of our civilization.

White liberals invented the notion of white guilt. They created the dependent class. They invented political correctness.
They have never solved one problem. They just make them worse, so they then have a reason to apply more of their failed ideas.

White liberals don't get too close to blacks. Just get in there and have your vote bribed. Otherwise, stay away.
Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
Pick your enemies carefully.
