God. Stop doing tha!. You don't know me. You don't know the first thing about what I've been through. This is probably part of the reason you come off so badly!

I'm not saying that my life has been better or worse than yours. I'm saying stop insisting you understand how a stranger feels because you've had some bad experiences. If you're saying you want to understand, LISTEN. Don't talk as if you already understand my expperiences when you can't possibly know what you're talking about.

Yes, it's important what somebody does. But again, I DON'T KNOW YOU. All we have is this interaction here. Which means all I have to go by is the things you say.

It's been very obvious that you're not really listening because you've already decided that you know all about it. That's why it feels futile talking to you. This would be infuriating no matter whatever we were talking about. It's in no way limited to race.
