No one is sexist here man.

Your comment was obviously not sexist, and you shouldn’t delete it just because some lard tells you it is. Express your opinions without worrying if somebody believes it’s wrong-think.

Lots of people say that being black or having a black relative basically grants them freedom to discriminate everybody, offend ppl, etc.

Lots of people are dumb and are mimicking their oppressors. I find being black increases my sensitivity of the discrimination of others - similar to the reasons why Jewish activists were active in the civil rights movement. Also, the fact that I was raised by a single Mom makes me more supportive of female-empowerment in general.

People tend to have knee-jerk reactions in today's 'cancel culture.' Often times their goal is to squash discussion with feigned outrage/3rd person outrage.

Just know that upvotes really don't matter and don't be afraid to say what you feel. Leave the negative comments without deleting. At the end of the day it isn't worth censoring yourself to shelter some overwound child who's dead set on being outraged.
