Context, Ken, context. Don’t read what I wrote on its own, look at what I was responding to. For reference, it’s here: https://medium.com/@sipsteaintherapy/it-suggests-that-all-white-people-are-against-black-culture-reasoning-and-independence-f82cc4a8961d and is one of the most racist pieces of writing I have seen, with sentences such as “ I live in London where interracial relationships are an epidemic.” that deny the humanity of all people. Mind you, the author is pretty much an equal opportunity offender, also making ablist and fat-shaming comments. Maybe I should have picked up on those as well. Would that make me seem more woke? Well, I don’t care if you think I am “woke” or not — and I would never dare to call myself that, that is for other people to decide.
