[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. As a Black middle class parent, I cringe when I read DCUM posts about race and schools. I have never had any conversations with my white friends about these matters but I imagine they happen, just not when I’m around. It then makes it awkward when I’m in a group and wonder what they are really thinking. Can anyone else relate?[/quote]

Yes! I USUALLY resist engaging. I am hyperaware that many of these posters are fellow parents who smile in our faces and talk trash about Black people on anonymous forums. [/quote]

And vice versa, of course. It’s called the civilized veneer vs. the anonymous forum. I am perfectly aware I am being called a Karen behind my back or at least in people’s heads. Now you will say I probably am a Karen even though you don’t know me. And others would say you are (insert stereotype about Black women here) even though they don’t know you. [/quote]

I'm not sure what you mean by vice versa...unless you believe in reverse racism?

If you think you are being called a Karen behind your back, it's likely because you are generally an insufferable person who likes to race bait people online. You blow that dog whistle...[/quote]
