Divver, I'm sorry you went through what you did, I really am.

Your experience was nothing like what we are still going through today. I'm sorry. Which is something I don't expect to hear in my lifetime.

You are part of the problem.

Oh I wasn’t equating my experience to yours.

I saw people commenting trying to say you were race baiting and stuff for your comment about your experience growing up in America.

And I disagreed with them and didn’t like how they were saying you were being racist with your comments and they were implying like that stuff like that doesn’t happen anymore.

I disagreed with those commenters because at Berkeley we had folks who were part of the BLM movement mentioning what they went through growing up and also all the statistics surrounding incarceration and police brutality.

What they experienced was so bad and nothing like what I experienced in my lifetime.

So I shared my experience to say I agree with you that there definitely are prejudiced folks out there.

I was in no way saying my experience was similar to yours. I’m so sorry if that’s how it came out.
