Not at all. I appreciate you taking the time to share your point of view and your experience.

If you reread my story, you can see a brief explanation of racism. Yes, I experienced toxic racism in the US, but I preferred to use my experience to learn and self-reflect. Rebecca Steve is a race writer, and she does it better.

What can I say with your robust response? This's what I know-- many Black people don't like themselves, which is why they hate one another.

I believe Black people love and worship white people, support their businesses, and make them super rich. Who buys more fast food and bleaching cream, fake hair or nail, watch more TV, or buy more sneakers and smartphone?

We black people make white people super rich and turn around to hate each other. We can learn from one another and stop hating ourselves and others. It starts with me. It begins with us.

Yes, I rarely talk about white people becasue they never talk about me. I was taught never to waste my time with people who don't waste their time on me.

Yes, the two writers wrote a beautiful essay with essential points. However, I wanted my readers to know how cultural l differences can make many people misunderstand other people's ways of life. We must learn why people do what they do and give credit where it is due. I'm learning.

I hope we all humble ourselves and learn from a different point of view.

Well done!
