He is making the point that in his view, if a conservative,


repub, Trumpie, whatever label we choose, ever criticizes a person of color, they are attacked from the left for being racist no matter what the substance of the objection is.

I think that is not an uncommon perception on the right. I honestly wouldn't say there is no truth to it, although anyone who may have seen my exchange with Dan a few threads below might accuse me of trying to appease him. But I'm honestly not.

I think there is super-sensitivity on race all around. I think some lefties in too many cases see racism in all kinds of disagreements from the right, but I think some righties have a tendency to cry foul at any mention of race in a discussion. But I think it is important not to overgeneralize about either the left or the right - they're not monoliths.
