Hey Annie, thanks for sharing your perspective.

Unfortunately, I think it is entirely unfair for a person who appears to be so far removed from the Black experience to make such conclusive statements about the behaviours of Black people operating in systems that have historically demonstrated a motive and a strategy for devaluing and excluding us.

This is an extremely surface level analysis, and does an injustice to the lived experiences of each of the people mentioned.

As a non-Black person who is curious about the implications of our behaviour, specifically as Black people, I implore you to seek understanding instead of spotlighting a handful of people and deciding which ones are on the good list and which ones have been naughty.

We can still have fruitful discussions about this topic, however, a post like this looks like yet another person taking an opportunity to profit from our pain.

Thanks for reading.
