Part of being Black is telling white people who say "You should be offended..." that every single day we negotiate and navigate where our battles lie, and while their concern is appreciated, what we choose to confront individually is a matter of personal choice and mental health.
And not really their business....
While we are at it...also respect a groups humor and the things you will never grasp. Not everything is for you or within your realm of understanding. All culture is not community property or breachable just because you believe in the sketchy concept of "universality..."
And another thing, please don't lecture us about things that we deal with from cradle to grave like skin color, hair, who gets picked by producers to play a person or how our genes work---- no you don't get to fact check things we LIVE. LEAVE THINGS ALONE SOMETIMES.
Like do you hear yourself? Sometimes its not a dialogue or a debate. Especially when your face, your name, your body, your weight, your religion, your gender, your language and your class give you the room I've never received because I'm the opposite of all of those.
