Normalize Black people coming to this app being safe to speak their minds. What we bring up might abut internal discomfort and biases that you might hold. That is not the minoritized person’s responsibility, though, to educate you, coddle you, to do the work for you. It is your responsibility to not create yet another space where Black people are marginalized or silenced.
I’ve been calculated about bringing this up and now is the time.πŸ’–βœŠπŸ½

Just try not to self marginalize yourself. Already saw a couple of posts here that both try to defend the black while at the same attack the non-black, saying they don't know nothing and better shut up or somehting. So, I don't think that reverse-racisim is doing any good for anyone.
BUT if you are trying to pick fights by being passive-aggresive then I guess thats the way to go :D
@torbalan @ChaseTMAnderson Reverse racism is not a thing. Racism is about power, societal power. This is why institutional racism is such an important thing for us, as a society, to deal with, along with on the individual level. Black people, and other people of color, can have biases towards whites, they can even hate us, but it is NOT racism. I recommend this article as a great explainer on why it is not a thing, and where it came from. https://www.today.com/tmrw/what-reverse-racism-experts-weigh-term-t184580
