If you want to end racism, then you end it, for everyone, and everywhere.

Vox explains that white protesters in Charlottesville were examples of "white fragility."

Because, obviously, it can have nothing to do with college students being told to get off campus because they are white or professors calling for the death of white people or white working class people in economically decaying communities being told that they should be ashamed of their "white privilege."

Or elite, urban leftists using the term "white fragility" when they disagree with the premise of "white privilege." White fragility is an incredibly racist term that lumps all white people into a single group and then ascribes a weakness to them when they object to leftism.

Amazingly, it seems that when you treat white men as a repugnant political group, sometimes some of them say "OK, if that's the way you want it." And sometimes they decide that their political interests align closer than that of the urban elites, and - voila! - you have Trump.

If you want to end racism, then you end it.

You don't just shift the target of racism.
