You really don't understand we're on the same side, do you? YOU mentioned that you're a POC. We're both against racism. Why would you be so hostile towards someone trying to discuss? And since racism still exists, I'd say there's still plenty to learn about how to eradicate it.

oh man, please stop, dude. This is like textbook "bad allyship." Start from the premise that black folks know more than you about anti-black racism in the same way people who eat strawberries know more about strawberries that people who have just seen and smelled them.

Would you, a non-strawberry-eater, argue with a strawberry-eater about the experience of eating strawberries? Probably not, right? Or at least you'd argue from a very humble place, right? You'd ask, not dictate. You'd accept correction, rather than bristling. Try that.

That doesn't mean I'm not allowed in on the conversation simply because of my skin color. Progress can't be made unless we all work together. All races, and all people. You could easily flip that logic and say I understand white racism against POC more because I'm white.

hahahahahahaha no you can't dear. Again, even if you make strawberries, if you've never eaten one, you ought to keep that in mind when people are discussing strawberries. Anyway I didn't say you weren't allowed in. I told you how you could participate in a more constructive way.

If I may use your analogy, whole I may not eat strawberries, if I'm a farmer (though not a strawberry farmer as in this analogy that would make me the racist). While I may not be able to tell you how to make strawberries, I might know something about what makes crops grow.

Also, laughing and rejecting my perspective on your logic when I flipped it around with saying why (and using an analogy that's not really malleable enough to cover racism) definitely discourages conversation. I haven't talked down to you, and would appreciate the same courtesy .
