Sounds great but unlikely to happen soon. Her are a few suggestions: if someone uses an inflammatory term like anti-racism ask them to define the term and then explain what it requires in practical day to day terms. The same for every label one utters with the intent of silencing or demeaning someone who does not share their view or position ( two easy examples are calling someone a white supremacist or a fascist, two labels frequently invoked even by some of our most prominent leaders and their spokespersons). Finally, do not stereotype, but rather deal with each individual person with regard to his or her words and actions. Once someone stereotypes it is impossible to have any meaningful discussion because they have a closed mind and they have made clear they are not open to civil dialogue or debate

Good ideas!
