It is, of course, offensive to whites when people of color call out their racism. It is even MORE offensive when white people call it out to other whites. You are considered traitors to the tribe, not to be trusted, presumed that your "sympathies" are suspect, and shunned and despised, 'buked and scorned. Few people, of any ethnicity, can take the punishment of exclusion from others who are like them, so they go along and get along.

It's hard being brave, but we're called upon to be if we want a better world and want to be true to ourselves. Do we really want to let other peoples' hate define our happiness?
