Well I did not see that you corrected your self, while I was posting a response to your original words.
You have now said:
“I've studied the site for years and have read a lot of the information. I'm (NOT) saying that we should forgive and forget. Brown privilege is a reality, but that doesn't mean that all brown people act in this way and it is stupid to assume that they do.”
If you are acknowledging that racism and colourism are reality and now saying that we should NOT forget, then that is what I am also saying. I am also saying that because of ongoing racism and colourism that is better for Blacks to assume that others have not addressed these issues until they have evidence otherwise. I am also saying I have not seen any White or light-skinned person who has proven to be definitely above the assumptions and complexes associated with Racism and Colourism. Until I have evidence otherwise, I am going with the general assumption to be on guard. And that is a safe and fair position for all informed Africans to take.
Anyway, I have shared my views and you can take them or leave them. I will leave room for others to share their thoughts on this.
