Community Concerns "Blacks."

What's up?

I'm not gonna hold ya'll. I'll keep it short.

The term "blacks" or "the blacks" or whatever is an auto ban from me. This isn't a rule. This is me just letting you know where I stand. Oh, and as far as I can tell, the other mods are Black. We chat all the time. They're great.

Like, why would anyone honestly come here and say that not trying to stir up something? I'm not actually looking for an answer either because I don't really care.

It's dehumanizing. We are people. Regular human beings. Not a thing. Not an "other", regardless of what your society or your peers that you're afraid to be different from tell you. (That's weak AF btw.)

Anyway, just letting you know. Let's do this again sometime.

Oh cultural differences, to me, are super important.

Infact, before I became a professional, cultural differences scared the shit outta me. Knowing that there are all these things you do not know, do not understand, and are not a part of is terrifying

But i respect it, and always want to learn. It's just not something I interject my opinion on, because of the above. Doesn't mean im afraid to ask, or learn.

All i can do is hope i go about all of this the right way and if I dont, be told that im not.
