bringing in a bigger table.


i think this is a very common response from white moderates, and it's definitely my gut reaction too

but when i try to think about it from a power standpoint i'm not sure it's possible


I don't know, but talking about taking seats away from whites or coercing whites into giving up their seats is probably just going to inflame resentment and reactionary sentiments even in a lot of moderates. Maybe even in some otherwise progressive people.

I mean, this kind of language does bring to mind events like the Evergreen shitshow last year. A lot of white people who are less progressive aren't going to take kindly to feelings of coercion by minority activists. But maybe that's not the most relevant point here.
