When you compare her taste in music to what other blacks are listening to, I think she has already suppressed herself.

hoping to spark a “conscious conversation.”

I get the feeling she was hoping to spark evidence for her next article that non-black people suck.

I don’t want this rage to fester into bitterness

Too late honey child.

Ever think that everyone suppresses parts of themselves in order to get along? No, I see that you have not.

You want a tight little world where everyone dresses like you, eats like you, cares about the stuff you do, thinks like you do.

You want a cookie cutter world.

Guess what?

Welcome to diversity.

That should be “should not beat up” NOT “should beat up”.

It always amazes me how a man or women with skin darker than ebony can land on the shores of the US without a dime in their pocket from Africa or the Caribbean often not even speaking English as a first language and is more successful than most of the native born African descendants born here and given all sort of opportunities these immigrants never had growing up usually within just a few short years.

That is so true; it is not a skin thing. It isn't even a style thing (a popular style from modern Africa is to be bedecked in jewelry -- and most people don't care). It is an attitude thing. Come with hope, you will find hope. Come with pessimism, you will find pessimism.

The article was painful to read. The author really needs to just grow up. Grow up a lot.

Just another racist black woman who has been taught her whole life, that it’s all Whitey’s Fault.

“How could he not know? Weren’t his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds flooded with opinions and hashtags?”

Translation: I live in a bubble and think the entire world revolves around whatever I deem to be important at the moment.

I have nothing to do with Twitter, Instagram or Facebook. These sources are all uninformed personal rantings and have ZERO informational value. If this is the author's sources of information, then she is part of the problem.

Too bad this little tart doesn’t recognize the progress that blacks have made in this country. Stop your whining.

Yep, “black rage” seems to be her byword.

“That should not be possible if society is just racist, yet I’ve seen it come true again and again and again.”

Yep, I can attest to this. Many of them start out on public asssistance, but most will own their own businesses within 10 years.

Reading this is a sad experience. A person who is so convinced everyone around her carries an evil (racism) that she has shut off the world at large (except her “tiny black universe”.)

Everything she imagines others reacting negatively to, from eating fried chicken to listening to Aretha Franklin, to even discussing Ferguson is all in her own head.

How does she *know* non-black people will react negatively to any of it, when she hasn’t even tried to share such likes and thoughts with anyone? Each and every prison is a construct of her own mind.

Hence the rage that is virtually palatable. No human being can go through life with pent up rage like that. It’s eventually going to explode. And the real shame of it is, it’s rage over literally nothing.

No one would care if she ate fried chicken or listened to Aretha Franklin, or even gave her thoughts about Ferguson (which she didn’t even do here!)

All rage and fury, truly signifying nothing.

"I wouldn’t know where to start with this article. So I better not."

Sometimes nothing will do but a good hosing with a 9-yard .50 cal belt-fed. As in this imbecile's case.

So I won't, either.

Race-obsessed black girl looking for some excuse to pick a fight with her non-black roommates.

Disgusting article, bit hittable. Maybe some white should. Might shut up her...at least for a few minutes anyway.

I have learned through experience that cross cultural exchange and ethnic diversity are highly overrated. :-)
