"Makes The Art of the Deal Read Like Anna Karenina"

"That this speech was held up as the framework for American race relations for more than half a century precisely because people of all races understood King to be referring to a difficult and beautiful long-term goal worth pursuing is discounted, of course. White Fragility is based upon the idea that human beings are incapable of judging each other by the content of their character, and if people of different races think they are getting along or even loving one another, they probably need immediate antiracism training. This is an important passage because rejection of King's 'dream' of racial harmony—not even as a description of the obviously flawed present, but as the aspirational goal of a better future—has become a central tenet of this brand of antiracist doctrine mainstream press outlets are rushing to embrace."
