Great article, and I’m in total agreement. One of the major strategies deployed by the identitarian regressive left to defend themselves from the charge that they are being flagrant racists in many of the inflammatory and denigrating things things they say about all white people is to claim that racism by blacks against whites can’t exist because racism requires power, which blacks don’t have, so then it logically follows that anti-white racism is an impossibility, or at least an impossibility in the present state of the West (perhaps in present-day South Africa they’d have to admit it’s possible). So you might be interested in this piece I wrote awhile back rooted in the philosophy of language that demolishes that politicized myth that racism requires power:

Also of interest may be this other article I wrote that more directly deals with the reality that our present-day overreach on the issue of race is a big overreaction to genuine historical atrocities and errors (slavery, etc.), with the result that that history is now being used by these resentful Alt-Left haters as a kind of “original sin” to browbeat those whose skin looks sufficiently white that they can be tarred with those sins of history, regardless of whether or not they had anything to do with it:
