I posted this because she actually tries to address the capitalization of "Black" and "White" by saying: (I capitalize White in my writing, like Black, because to lowercase it perpetuates this idea of whiteness as the invisible norm.) . However I'm unclear as to what "whiteness as the invisible norm" means?

But notice that "whiteness" is lowercased but a few sentences later she writes a capitalized "Blackness". So just another black racist, yes I think it is racist to capitalize black and white differently, or to capitalize them at all.

So many lies in one sentence. Floyd wasn’t murdered. The coroner was threatened. The cop was railroaded. Floyd died of a heart attack or drug overdose. Cops don’t kill blacks.

This strangely named individual came to these United States of America (invented by Whitemen) on an airplane (invented by Whitemen), writes in English (a language of Whitemen), on the internet (invented by Whitemen), and has the damnable temerity to complain about Whitemen.

She can quit appropriating my White culture and haul her sorry carcass back to Nigeria where she came from.

Stopped reading when George Floyd and murdered were used in the same sentence. Propaganda is not worth my reading time.

“”Black women who decided to go natural.””

Is THAT what those “hairdos” are? The more we see, the sillier they become. It seems they don’t have any problem coming up with the cost of having that done. I would imagine if they went BACK to Africa, they would be laughed at.

Most Nigerians come here and work. And generally have a low opinion of American born African-Americans. In my experience at least.

There are NO black people and NO white people. Shade of one’s skin is based on melanin, more you have the darker the shade, less you have the lighter the shade. Only racists use color to identify people. BTW, there is only one race, the human race. You are either human or not, and people using color to identify a race are NOT human. Maybe we should call these melanin rich people “melanin supremacists”

Shortly after the Black American George Floyd was murdered by a White police officer,

That's where I stopped reading because the rest is apparently based on this falsehood.

It’s possible Atlantic editor did that.

I see she’s being attacked as trans-phobic for not being insane.

To be Black in America was to feel bulldozed by the weight of history and stereotypes, to know that race was always a possible reason, or cause, or explanation for the big and small interactions that make up our fragile lives. To be Black was to realize that it was impossible for people to approach one another with the simple wonder of being human, without the specter of race lying somewhere in the shadows. To be Black was to feel, in different circumstances, frustration, anger, irritation, and wry amusement.
Sadly overall true, under the ideology of the Left.
