"Grounded in the Idea That There Is a Single Human Race to Which We All Belong"

"It is time to restore Martin Luther King's dream for American race relations—a dream that, even as it refuses to flinch from the injustices we still need to overcome, defiantly holds onto the idea that what we have in common is ultimately more important than what divides us. We must defend that principle even when it is unpopular, even when it marks you as 'tone-deaf,' and even when it elicits eyerolls from those who imagine they have found more worthy principles. Our ability to remedy racial injustice depends on it." 

Coleman Hughes at Persuasion calls for "liberal anti-racism."

And Yascha Mounk at The Atlantic argues that "[i]f you want to combat illiberalism, casting a vote for Donald Trump is the worst possible thing you can do."
