Hi Annie,

After taking the time to read what you had to say about Black people this morning, I responded to your post.

At the very least, I was expecting to know that you had read it, and maybe heard your thoughts for a chance to better understand your position. However, it appears you have deleted my more critical comment, along with the other comment that was previously here praising you for this post.

I am confused and disheartened to know that the editors of this publication found this content to be appropriate, disturbed that @Medium found it appropriate to send this title to me in an email, and frankly enraged that you decided to silence the one Black voice that stood up on this post, and continue to profit from the pain and the very real and ongoing plight of Black people.

Please consider the impact of your actions before speaking out against minorities and marginalised groups of people. This behaviour is extremely disrespectful.
