"I only was responding to Steve’s demeaning attacks that I know nothing and have no curiosity."

Once again, I didn't say this. I also told you that I've spent many years living in America. And that most of my family still ives there. My knowledge isn't from the internet. I've had many, many first person conversations with people who lived through Jim Crow. My grandparents on my father and mother's side, many of my aunts and uncles. I've heard countless stories that you won't find on the internet. I'm extremely confident that I've got far more direct experience of racism in America, both past and present, than you have. Plus the fact that I've spent the past two years writing and intensively researching race and race history. Who should be deferring here?

But of course your reductive, ill-informed arguments about me don't count as disrespectful, right?

And frankly, even if I'd never spent a single minute in America, this idea that "plenty of people identify as black for the 'benefits'" or that Obama being black was advantageous for him in his presidential run, made it immediately clear that you aren't a reliable source of information about race in America.

Man, I've really only been lightly frustrated by your arguments until this point. But outright dishonesty really gets me.
