Excellent work, and by "work," I mean both your work on this essay and the work you are doing to overcome your racism (the original sin we white people were born with). I was overcome with the spirit of DeAngelo as I read your testimony, and the spirit bare witness to the truth of thy words. Previously, I had thought that the way to deal with all this talk of racism and privilege was for me to play identity politics too (as someone who is part Neanderthal: https://aghostinthemachine.substack.com/p/identity-politics-for-white-people), but you have shown me the error of my ways. I am henceforth renouncing my white privilege by renouncing my white skin and putting on blackface instead.
Funny in an uncomfortable way. That so many of her books were sold, lathering up guilt on white people for things they never did, calling for their demise is shocking. It tells me there are a lot of people looking for a replacement in their lives for goals, hard work, decency and generosity. It is uncomfortable to think that there is a growing cadre of racist anti-racists out there who are intent on getting whitey.
Oh irredeemable me! I sought the light and not the darkness. I was but one sheep in the flock whose woolly white locks were shorn regularly, only to grow back in full. I have sinned by my very existence. I am but a flaw in God’s plan and therefore damned to never be a hero, only a gyro.

First article I’ve read. Lol. Funny and smart.
The church of Robin has shown me the truth, the way and light!
