African American

This is hard to answer for a couple of reasons:

First of all, the sad truth is there are very few AAs still active on DU.

DU is a very white community.

The 16 primary season drove away dozens of AA posters, and the reactions to 2018 pushed many more away.

Next, without reading the exchange no one could parse the words and tone used by either of you, so it would just be guessing on our part.

Now while "dismantling white supremacy from within" requires discussions with white people, in my opinion it shouldn't require validation from strangers and it won't be achieved with screen fights on the web with other strangers.

The "White Savior" definition you used is oddly specific as well - The over arching "White Savior" concept is not restricted to stories from past generations- although it has become a cinematic term because of the bushel full of bullshit that Hollywood put out since the 70s.

It is still a current term for white folks who believe they can fix a situation without fully understanding it - all while ignoring the thoughts of the people living in that situation.

Peace. TPMS
