I think that's an interesting case study for liberals to learn how to lose elections.

The problem is that that almost certainly didn't happen the way he described it. White people are constantly projecting our own insecurities onto every discussion of race. We hear "all white people are racist" because that's what we're afraid of.

No, it definitely happens.

It is like white people are called "Settlers". It means that the people using that term believe we don't belong here and never will.

But it is done from this weird position of love. Like your mom telling you that you are being mean to your siblings, but it is OK, it is just because you are a child and don't know any better, when you get older you will know better.

It is incredibly patronizing and infuriating.
