This morning I just happened to read an online article at USA TODAY.
The title is "White progressives shouldn't be smug about racism. We could be doing much more to end it" by Tom Krattenmaker.
*****
He points out that although progressives always say the right things, their actions are another matter.
He believes that progressives should be more willing to live in integrated neighborhoods, send their children to integrated schools, and attend integrated churches.
He also believes that "white privilege" still exists.
*****
He points out that in some suburban areas of Pennsylvania, progressives have put up signs on their lawns that proclaim: "Hate Has No Home Here." He points out that 95% of those areas are Caucasian.
*****
He is gently and lovingly chiding his fellow liberals for not actually living more ethnically integrated lives. As he puts it, progressives should put their money where their mouths are.
