You then went on to make your own personal interpretation of what he meant, an interpretation designed to denigrate his comment.

You wrote of his comment: "It's incredibly dismissive of what the marginalized individivuals are telling us about their experience."

I disagree with your incredibly dismissive comment of what Edder had to say. He is simply stating his view that this current near-crazed focus on trying to make all whites, especially white men, responsible for every ill in current society is dividing the country into groups and promoting inter-group hatred.

There is no direct correlation, but this current "cultural revolution" in this country is indeed reminiscent of what took place in China.

History Channel: In the 1960s, Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong came to feel that the current party leadership in China, as in the Soviet Union, was moving too far in a revisionist direction, with an emphasis on expertise rather than on ideological purity.

Ideological purity!!!!!

When people are branded as racist simply for saying they don't agree with all the woke ideology, we have a serious problem. When people fear exercising freedom of speech, that serious problem becomes even more serious.
