Your views are not weighted by your race, that's silly. Your thoughts are 100% valid and worthy.

Here on HN I believe this to be true. But the frighteningly common viewpoint today among progressives today is that white people are not allowed to have a voice when discussing topics of race. This isn't a fringe opinion, there's been bestselling books[1] on the topic.

Oh, I'm well aware of the popular trend to discredit ideas based on the race of the originator (a disgusting proposition).

We must push back.
