My "tellingly silent" point is misunderstood.  Discussing any single injustice is not tellingly silent about other injustices.  On the other hand, a societal backlash against an injustice against one race, where that injustice is perpetrated against other races as well, is tellingly silent.  As I mentioned in my above comment, I was addressing the suggested factor of a societal "backlash."  I wasn't saying that the absence of discussion about other injustices on this website is tellingly silent, I'm saying that a societal backlash as defined in the post is tellingly silent where there is little societal backlash against other similar injustices not confined to white people, such that the "backlash" factor does not separate itself from race.
