My mom and I went on a collective rant about how liberal folks we know mistake having the right opinions and consuming the right products for political action and how too much lib id pol (versus like a well-thought out intersectionalism) puts a veil between you and anyone who isn’t exactly like you and prevents solidarity across race, culture, and gender lines.
We then veered into wondering how Robin DiAngelo gets through a conversation with any person of color without having her brain explode.
