I'm boosting this piece not because I agree with all of it, and certainly not because I stand behind what the writer has said elsewhere (she and I differ sharply over the whole TBS issue) but because she was a friend before this went down, and has asked me to boost it in the hope of unburning some bridges, and that's something I want to support.
She is aware that I think her levels of Whiteness on this matter are disappointing.
If you have an issue with my choice of friends, please feel free to not include yourself in that number.
