I'm just curious....why is it when a Black woman in America speaks about racism in America, the gut-reaction of some people is to point out other forms of racism around the world? Please understand that in doing that, you completely negate and minimize the writer's own struggle. Most adults are well aware of the racial disparities in the world, but as human beings who are being oppressed, it is instinctual to secure our own safety first before we can help others. You know, the whole "put your oxygen mask on first" mentality. Yes we have hearts and empathize with anyone in struggle, but how about we stick to the topic at hand and see what we can do to come together and fix this FIRST?
