I've been following a promising new blog recently. The newest blog post was an interesting reflection on how thinking carefully about race made the blogger change opinions about a new book. That's fine, but it's also fine to have a differing opinion. I've read several thoughtful pieces on both sides of the debate.
So to have it framed as "if you don't agree, you're just not thinking carefully about race", or (as a commenter suggested) that if you don't agree with the blogger's take on the book you don't care about people of other races, makes me angry. It boils down to a difference of opinion about a text, not a litmus test about racism.
