It's quite ironic that everyone missed the point of this. You are all arguing about him using anecdotal evidence and how he uses it to show how whites don't want to talk about race. But that is his very point. There is a plethora of information which whites can use to educate themselves and yet many don't. Many are in a denial so steep it is akin to insanity. And, instead of speaking about this pathology, many a person segues into what is wrong with the argument instead of what the argument actually represents. As you do now.
