What kind of white person do you want to be: Roy Moore or his foes?

Roy Moore; Doug Jones (Credit: Getty/Jim Watson/AP/Brynn Anderson/Salon) “What Shall We Do With the White People?” is one of my favorite essays. Written in 1860 by an African-American school teacher and activist named William Wilson (aka “Ethiop”), it is a brilliant response to white supremacy and a white American society that projected pathology and inferiority onto black people as a means of legitimating slavery and all the exploitation, rape, murder and other abuse it entailed. I read “What Shall We Do With the White People?” several times a year.
