Thank you Danyelle for expressing truth as it has been shown to you. I’m a supportive journeyer whose skin ended up Caucasian and whose life experiences relates to that experience. I have empathy for you. I understand it more than most people born with white skin. My partner is a black man who I love dearly. We have talked very openly about racial perspectives. As a biracial gay couple I have seen some of it. But I can only marginally understand stand it. You’re right. I don’t know that that enough change will happen in my lifetime. Please know there are some people at least trying to create change from the white community. We’re a start. Hopefully the flame we start will continue to grow. I care about you and others and your story and experience.
The whole thing is not even understandable. Racism of course exists and it will never go away, either you grow up and work on yourself and towards your goals or complain and wallow forever and just be a professional victim. Its tiring when a person born in the present day blames there problems on something that ended a long, long time ago. If you have a bad character you will not be liked by people no matter what your excuse may be.
You might be Black in skin but certainly not intention. This isn’t even a white blaming excerpt. But in true fashion of internalized anti-Blackness, you are here spewing the most flaccid of supremacist talking points — including the attempt to validate it by your proximity to Blackness.
oh my, I didn't notice this comment before, I should have responded so that you didn't have to spend your time dealing w this.
Ashraf, regardless of your skin color, the systemic realities in America are well documented and inarguable. To dismiss these realities as 'complaining' is willful ignorance. The fact that naming these issues caused you to respond with victim shaming says a lot more about what's going on inside of you than inside of Danyelle. The first step towards liberation is an honest assessment of the situation.If you’re genuinely interested in understanding, I’d recommend Jamar Tisby’s The Color of Compromise or How to Fight Racism. But if you’re just here to argue, don’t bother responding—I’m not entertaining a debate on this.

Bullshit.
