Your response to the pain and struggle of Black women and other women of color, is the definition of the white woman tears you don't believe in. And you probably don't see why and how Black women are hurting over this, and won't see it, despite your multiracial family. But continue going off, queen. Black women, Black people certainly will, speaking our truths to power. You've centered yourself and other white woman in yet another Black woman's narrative, cast yourself as a victim and the Black women calling out cultural appropriation as a villain, and proved every bit of the author's point. And all without acknowledging the real, long-standing pain forced on Black women, and which Black women bear up under every day. No surprise, there. Because white women's pain is real and matters (more) than Black women's pain that is caused by white women--no matter how relatively few--appropriating everything BUT Black pain. Then profiting off the appropriation. Sounds about white, I suppose.
