I think if you're afraid of people shifting the theory, then you need to pin down what the theory ISN'T and lock that in. Just for example, you might want to lock in some ideas like - Don't teach that racism is only perpetuated by white-people. - Don't teach that people born today are morally/emotionally responsible for the behavior of their ancestors. - Don't teach that skin color is the most defining thing about you - Don't teach that any single trait means you have to see yourself as a victim, you can see yourself however you want to I'm sure if you come up with a reasonable set of these then reasonable people can agree.

You're missing that my main point is the one about flat earthers. I COULD do that. It's just a negative sume game and I don't want to. Id rather just interact with people who are thinking about more interesting things than debate non rigorous academic virtue signaling with people who have an axe to grind and don't care about what I have to say based on my race. It's literally the exact same scenario as why I'm not going sit around and debate a klan member. They are racists and I'm not bothering with them.
