It really isn’t, as the broader point she was making over prejudice and bigotry was that white supremacist attacks, violence, and oppression are far more dangerous and ubiquitous in American/Euro society than are incidents like the Fresno shootings. The difference and point that silent_water was making, as I interpret it, is that the state and culture both embrace, protect, and enable white supremacist violence through its law enforcement system, judiciary, legislature, through the media, through the broader culture, and through its ability to determine who is worthy of dignity and who is worthy of annihilation.
“We should be more conciliatory to left-liberals “baby socialists” about white fragility and identity” is not something I’d care to cater to either.
Othello’s comment was against people who identify as white as a cultural identity, not the pigmentation of their skin.
