After reading the recent "White fragility" book, I am outraged because it represents everything that annoys me with the leftist movement. Race and gender issues are very important, but by over relying on identify politics, we ignore the policy and laws that can help these communities in the first place. Instead we focus on buzzwords like "white fragility" and "white guilt" without diving into actual progressive policy, such as ending the drug war and healthcare reform. By overly focusing on identity politics, we only give more ammunition for the right to portray us as "anti white" and "sjw's" and prevents us from actually using our policy to convert people. If we focused more on class issues and policy, we'd get much further with our message
