As superfluous as it might seem for any Vox headline to be explicitly addressed to white people, Monday’s piece is a special exception.
"White people: what is your plan for the Trump presidency?" https://t.co/fYKdk54NtS

“White people: what is your plan for the Trump presidency?” was not written by one of the reliably pasty staff members but rather by activist Brittany Packnett, who as everyone knows is a member of President Obama’s 21st Century Police Task Force and, along with DeRay Mckesson, a co-founder of Campaign Zero.
Feel free to look up the terms at your leisure, but in short, Packnett encourages whites to start small: learn about microaggressions, unpack their invisible privilege knapsacks, and “read what it means to wake up white.” Vox, of course, is a great resource for this.

Ouch. Now there’s a Vox explainer we’d like to read.
I want to have carnal knowledge of this tweet.

@cbinflux This tweet should replace the definition of "koan."
Make it happen, @Dictionarycom

@Popehat the recursive nature of this doesn't have a base case to terminate on…

Vox is why Trump won.

White people elected #Obama too, but no one demanded they act as referees, apologists or watchers on the walls.
