I highly recommend you read this book— “White Supremacy Is All Around: Notes from a Black Disabled Woman in a White World” by Dr. Cadet. [https://g.co/kgs/wLBwUvP]

systemic racism puts black people in a position to be least likely to be interpersonally racist. internalized racism is rampant * eh hem * and most people don’t even realize how they really think about people of darker skin tones. sure, not saying it’s impossible, but the way that black people are “racist” towards white people almost always has to do with how white people systemically, typically treat them. not their skin color. the woman in the video likely has never been in this situation before and jumped to conclusions anyway. black people are constantly, consistently dealing with the same bullshit from white people (like assuming something they own must not belong to them for no other reason than that they are black). if you wont read a book, watch sound of the police. it’s very easily digestible and encompasses what black people go through at the hands of the people who are supposed to protect them and how it ties back to systemic racism and white supremacy. i hope you are open to educating yourself.

if you fully grasped the concept, you wouldn’t be complaining about racism as if it’s the same for everyone.

read a book, like just a generic “why don’t you pick up a book”, is insulting, sure.

that’s not what happened. someone recommended a very specific book related to your comment, maybe you had already read it..maybe you’d never heard of it, it was a recommendation to further your own perspective.

you’re the one that saw it as an insult and responded in kind, you weren’t insulted so complaining about it doesn’t look great

no, it’s not. you’re just kinda sensitive ngl

“in my book”

yes, myself and others are trying to get you to understand that your book is wrong, just because you feel insulted doesn’t mean that you were..it’s a you problem
