Yeah. I find intentionally divisive articles like this hard to respect. The author is either trying to game engagement through division or insultingly bucket people into their camps because they really see the world this way. I wish people would stop legitimizing this.

Edited- fixed stuff, finished my thought

I find the concept of removing entrance tests so more black people can be accepted into college divisive too. Sometimes divisive issues just need to be addressed head-on in a way that avoids unnecessary flamebait or emotional amplification. I feel the article did an OK job at that, considering how sensitive the topic is.
