    Are you trying to say acclaimed book “Dying of Whiteness” ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_of_Whiteness ) is invalid because of your personal experiences?

    I’m sorry but there’s a large body of evidence that many people in the US are deeply racist. Not always in a “wear a hooded costume” overt way, but in more polite and dressed up to look inoffensive ways as well.

    You can also read the new Jim Crow and “the color of law”.

      I appreciate the effort you invested into point out the references, but I am sorry, I’ll pass, because I do not want to participate in this sorrow in any way, including additional knowledge of human humiliation based on the way they were born.

      Simply put, I consider it stupid, inhuman, and not worthy my life time. What I would like to invest time instead is to read and know about the way people find compromises, mutual respect, and solution solving in long term.

        You’ll participate whether or not you desire to. Knowledge will better equip you to engage with the world, good and bad, as it is. But it’s your choice. I’m not your professor.
