Instead, it was my discovery that many similar racists questions, posed by equally obnoxious White provocateurs could be found in the website’s dark alleys and intersections.
For example, how would you respond to the question: ‘Why do many Black people only befriend Black people?’
Using that analogy, a lot of the questions are from people who are genuinely ignorant of and about African Americans, apartheid and even the existence of White privilege.
That’s why I don’t get mad when I read a question like: ‘Is it okay for a White person to call an African American “Black”?’
Which explains a lot, including why they continue asking what I can only assume are stupid or rhetorical questions, including: “Why are Black people called “black” and White people called “white” when the skin color of the vast majority of both groups isn’t “black” or “white”?
