I have never been very good at following sound advice, which is why I joined “White Dudes for Harris” on Monday.
The existence of such an affinity group is remarkable in itself. So much of the political theater of the last three generations has been driven by the insistence that white men, especially straight white men, are the one and only political constituency that can never be allowed to conceive of themselves as a discrete group with identifiable interests. That way lies fascism or, at the very least, cisnormative white Christian heteropatriarchy.
I did not expect a three-hour Zoom call to awaken my sense of racial solidarity. ... My Not Racist credentials stand unimpeached: if this is the White Man awakened, I will gladly keep my distance.
