Hey Stephen.

Thanks so much for reading although by mentioning this comment I doubt that you read fairly deeply into this piece.

I don’t think that black people are somehow superior anymore than I think white people are. If anything, I think we’re all equal in the eyes of God and should be equal in the eyes of each other.

However what I do speak on is how white supremacy has affected me and my people.

And yet here you and others have come to try to colonize the conversation and make me the bad guy. Which is interesting given the fact that I’m only speaking the truth from my own perspective.

It baffles me that instead of listening to a person of color with different perspectives and experiences, one would rather attack based on comments that I actually never made.

Take another look, read all the way through the peace and see if you come up with the same feelings, then we’ll talk.
