Did you miss the quotes around the part about being treated as "subhuman not worth of respect or human consideration"? I wasn’t jumping to a conclusion, they’re your exact words from a previous comment.

Your translations, however, were your (incorrect and yes, uncharitable) interpretations of my comments. Do you really believe that you understand what I’m trying to say better than I do? I'm a polite person, but I say what I mean. I don't need you to decide what I really mean, thankyou.

As for where you called me patronising, here's the quote, with a nice bit of hyperbole about not talking that way to an animal:

"To say the author's fears are overblown is rather patronizing. I would not say anything like that to an animal."

Look, we just seem to be talking past each other at this point. But your apparent lack of awareness about the things you've been saying is telling. My entire issue is that this hyperbolic way of speaking about race makes real conversations harder. I've experienced my fair share of racism. I know what it's like, but I'm not going to pretend that it's a daily presence in my life. It's not.

I'm not going to talk about being treated as "subhuman" as if it's a reflection of today's reality. I'm not going to act as if the fear that the world is full of white supremacists and that "all they want to do is kill black people like me" is reasonable or justified. If you choose to, I certainly can't stop you. If it's genuinely your experience, I'm truly, from the bottom of my heart sorry. But if it's not, know that this hyperbole makes it harder to take you seriously. And that lack of credibility ends up hurting all of us.
