That’s interesting because Merriam-Webster define the word racism as ”a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race”. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

Notice nowhere in that definition or the following definitions does it say that merely identifying races as racism. Because it’s not racist. I love being Black and I can love being Black without it harming or reducing anyone of any other race. Clearly some folks can’t relate.

If you don’t like to be called White, take that up with your ancestors who created racism and the races, not me, who merely observed.

Also, figure out why you are offended by a Black woman telling you (with plenty of citations to back me up) why it’s wrong to refer to Black folks as apes/monkeys.
