In my experience, a very common reply to my objections to any anti-racism propaganda is accusations of gaslighting. This is probably even more common than "educate yourself". It's basically the intellectual equivalent of sticking fingers in your ears and singing "la,la,la not listening, not listening". If someone is convinced that what you are really trying to do is deny their "lived experience" then I think it is virtually impossible to engage with them on any intellectual level. Even where you are pointing out obvious contradictions.

Sad, but VERY Truthful.
