""“I’m this generic, ambiguous scapegoat for white people to call me a race traitor and take out their hostility on. And I’m a target for anger and pain about white people from the black community.""

sorry honey, but i'm fairly certain that until this article, no one had the faintest idea who you are.

Protected class? What on earth is that? I'm sorry to break this to you Rachel, but there is no protected class. As long as you are breathing you will have enemies. Whether those enemies are perceived or real they will always be there. What you do when confronted by them is known as character building. Either you push back and take a stand for your values (not to be confused with assuming others) or you join the lemmings. Consider seeking good character instead of protective labels. Join with like-minded people working together for something good and you will no longer need protection. Besides, maybe you weren't supposed to be black.

To have enemies is to have vharector. You can not stand up for your values without upsetting people. What is the truth? The truth is what you perceive to be true, other people perceive the truth as they see it and i resect that, i have no hate for them, sometimes i pity them but not feelings of derision ofr disgust. Someone that has no truth of their own these people i am sickened by. Or those that seek to please everyone and adjust there conversation accordingly so they make no enemies, that ma y be but they command no respect. I can respect anyone that stands up for what they perceie as the truth, mind you i will do everything i can to change there nmind to my truth however the y will have the opportunity to engage me and possibly change my perceprion of truth, is truth fluid? Is it a collection of facts no one will ever be able to really know with any certainty?

I'm a depressed person who identifies as being "happy". Try THAT one on for size. (probably much easier to just get a tan).

That pretty much covers the experience of being black in America.

BTW the words "work" & porn have nothing in common (same with 'reality TV')

I mean come on, that's like associating "breathing" with "working"... May as well get paid to be a model...

Her alleged autobiography - https://www.amazon.com/Full-Color-Finding-Place-Black/dp/194464816X

The reviews are damning.

As an aside...I identify as an AH-64 helicopter, however I have recently been grounded - if you would like to support my fuel , maintenance, armaments costs and want to keep me flying, any donations would be most grateful.
