#also are you the person who sent ceilidho the ask about the unsympathetic response?

[bitchkiss]

Thank you so much for answering my questions. I'm a poc myself, and when I saw something that didn't really go in the same direction of what my logic/belief was, I questioned why it was so. It would take me a bit more time to analyse within myself the questions you've written at the end, but it seems helpful

I was wondering about the gut feeling you talked about. Maybe it is because I haven't been out of the country irl, or because I've been lucky enough to not deal with racism, atleast directed at me, on social media. But I've never experienced a gut feeling as such, especially when someone isn't being outright discriminative. So for such really short interaction times, for example a post that comes up on your blog, or a comment you see which has the liberty to be dismissed as a 'hey, maybe this person genuinely doesn't like the personality, or just the character in general', how do you get the gut feeling/act on it. Or more importantly how can *I* see if it's stemming from an underlying cause of racism, from a single message, if it makes sense

And you also talked about societal beliefs. How do you usually judge if those beliefs are not right, because I imagine it's quite difficult (not the word I wanted to use here, but vocabulary is escaping me currently) to go against a huge stream of thoughts and then voice it out.

Once again, thank you so much for taking time out to answer this

answering this now so you know that i saw it and that i will be writing out a thought out answer when i have energy!!! my flare has gotten worse so i need to lay down.
