No, it’s not my problem, but like most Black Americans, we dont wish harm on anyone and hope you are able to receive the care and accommodations needed to live a full life. All the best…now go “gather” your white community

No you insufferable dumbarse… I reassert that white folks like you who dont understand the good from Black folks taking care of themselves in light of the profound ignorance like you have displayed and in light of your community being exclusionary is what is actually bad. 1/

This one is so old it goes all the way back to ancient Greece.

Blood Libel | Holocaust Encyclopedia

Blood libels were false allegations that Jews used the blood of non-Jewish children in rituals. Nazi propagandists used this false charge in their antisemitic propaganda.

How is self segregating, which white folks have done since before the country was founded, bad when the groups oppressed by them do so within a social context for self uplift and protection and NOT the whitelash that occurs from whites when they do so? Dude? Stoppit

Power to impose any biases, stereotypes, or hatred they might have for the majority group. I dont know what your perceived area of expertise entails but you are damaging your brand with these grossly ignorant statements. Esp in light of all the literature produced over the past 10 yrs 3/3

Again, i dont think homie is coming from a bad place, just a place he has been subconsciously socialized into which inherently does not consider the other side of said facts. An example is the meltdown of the right to the 1619 project. Humility is the only solution to a more substantive engagement
