Nobody's suggesting they don't have interesting points of view. Even Eddo-Lodge wasn't saying that. But in the country where the (white, working class) murderers of Stephen Lawrence were treated so much more indulgently than he ever would have been, had he been a crime suspect, and where ACPO decided it was much more important to spy on his family than devote proper resources to the murder investigation, it's hard to feel that a conversation about racism (like this thread) is being fundamentally unfair to white people.
Because your arguments so far seem to downplay the significance of systemic racism and the book is an eloquent response to such arguments.
