    Academics are different than reality, and the reality is that using this kind rhetoric is going to incite people to come out and fight for people like trump – this is fuel on the fire. Do you want the world to burn down so you can be right or do you want to accept that things aren’t perfect but the world still functions?

      Let’s not kid ourselves…This article isn’t being read by Trump supporters or even fence sitters. It merely identifies the problem; it doesn’t prescribe a method of outreach.

        It’s not the article I’m talking about, it’s just the general conversation. Trump should be in jail but trying to get everyone to talk about things like white privilege has pulled off enough of the population to somehow keep as an actual presidential candidate.
