I see a lot of "white people need to have uncomfortable conversations" rhetoric but those "conversations" are always one sided, and more akin to lectures than conversations.
The average person is honest and doesn't want to be racist, and that's a weakness (1)

They listen and don't defend themselves but instead surrender to what the lecturer is saying.
Sympathy and empathy is being hacked. There's quite a few white racists who love having the "uncomfortable conversation" but they are rarely ever invited to have it. (2)

So this leaves the well-meaning people to be beaten up on by guilt-mining minorities. But of course the white liberal surrenders because they need the numbers in order to win elections. It won't be the case forever, eventually a new favores group will rise.
