Just because she feels that way, doesn't mean every black person does. Maybe many do, but I don't think it is productive to speak for other people's experience.
Of course when speaking for oneself, then it is fine to say anything.
All other things being equal, it should be pretty clear that a given black person is more qualified to speak about the black experience than a given white person is to refute them. If you have reason to believe that this particular writer is unreliable or not representative, then by all means share them.
heyooo

I think people are only qualified to speak about their own feelings and experience, just not for other people unless those people requested that.
Other people should do that you say?
Are you trying to imply something?
I hope you're not trying to imply hypocrisy, because saying what someone should do is not speaking for them.
"As a hacker news poster, we all feel that ..."
Not even targeting this article in particular, it isn't bad at all from that perspective, just a trend I have been seeing and thinking about.
