[quote=Anonymous][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]

No, I am not a racist or blowing a dog whistle but not surprised you would say that on this anonymous forum. Case rested.

The point is that people say things behind other people’s backs and not to their faces. Wow. Surprise. [/quote]
