A lot of people believe that black experience is so fundamentally different from white experience that they are willing to cut them all kinds of slack in recognition that a white person doesn't walk in a black person's shoes.My question is, why is that okay to say to white people, but not black people?
My answer is that it is equally offensive to say to anyone. it's equally personal and impersonal. It's absolutely unfair and hurtful to lump everyone together whatever shade you are. In fact, white people say versions of that all the time.
