Appreciate the underlying message here, but I’m still perplexed about this awful world of experiences you have had that compelled you to write this piece. I’m a Black man. I treat everyone with I encounter with respect. I don’t look at Black women differently and talk down to them. I do my utmost in fact to empower / uplift / listen. But I won’t invalidate your experience, and it hurts my heart that there is so much pain here and wish I could do something about it. I can just shut up and listen I suppose. Thanks for the thought food my sister. Lots to ponder.
