That seems like a great way to ignore basically any complaint, by dismissing it as a lone outlier.

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.

I didn't say the writer is unreliable or wrong, and didn't meant to seem dismissive.

I think people are only qualified to speak about their own feelings and experience, just not for other people unless those people requested that.

Your opinion on what people are qualified to speak about is irrelevant, according to your own logic.

No, its not irrelevant, but it is just my opinion. I'm not saying it is more than my opinion.

all black people have the same experiences?

heyooo
