In reply to the discussion: Masquerading as a White Bearded hipster guy (despite being a Black Woman) [View all]1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)23. Thank you ...
and to extend the point through a current example ...
I posted in response to Aging (at 3:08p.m.):
But there is a good measure of similar treatment of People of Color and Women, right here on DU ... which I have been told, time and again, is representative of the wider world of white folks.
Look through any of the Privilege Threads or the Misogyny Threads ... there is an almost palpable anger/dismissiveness coursing through the responses to PoCs and Women, that is largely absent (or at least less evident) in the responses to identifiably non-PoCs and males.

and it was responded to by AgingAmerican at 3:37p.m.:
Link to some of it please ... I have never heard anything like, dumb black bitches and stupid ni**er bitches, with a few dumb c**ts thrown in for good measure' here on DU. Please show me where that was said about blacks or minorities here.
But in the meantime (at 3:15), you (presumably, a white female) responded to AgingAmerican with essentially the same thing as I had ... yet, while he felt compelled to challenge my post, he DID NOT feel compelled to challenge your's.
Now, it's possible that he did not see you response, or it is merely a personal thing that he has with me, on its face ... AgingAmerican is an exemplar of the OP's point.
