If you would’ve read the note at the top, you would’ve known that this was a direct response to a comment left on my friends piece about racism. As far as I know. the comment has since been taken down due to being reported. My friend pointed the comment out in our group chat, so my opinion was welcomed. Also, you can see the other positive comments at the bottom, which further proves how my opinion wasn’t necessarily “unwanted”.

If you didn’t want to read my opinion, you could have simply not read or interacted with my piece. However, since you did- I don’t have “black fragility”. I’m proud to be black. I’m not proud of how racism has been kept alive for so long by ignorant people. I never said black people were superior anywhere in my piece, which is what delicate little bigots need to do to make themselves feel better. I simply cleared up some inaccuracies the comment made and pointed out their bigotry.

I refuse to be silent and allow bigotry to live and thrive in my space. While I acknowledge that I can’t completely eradicate it, I don’t have to become defeated by it. I will not keep my opinion about something so vile go unheard.

Since you took some of your precious time to comment on my piece, you seem to be bothered. It appears as though it is you with some sort of “fragility” you need to overcome. I sincerely hope you do.

Have a good day.
