Any white readers I may have would be like “hold on a minute. You can’t speak for me. I am poor/rich/ more educated/illiterate/liberal/socially conservative/from the northwest, the northeast, the midwest, and Deep South.” Etc.
Why, then, do so many blacks feel entitled to speak of the “black experience”? Is it not just probable that the goal is for black individuals to speak to white people, who can then don their camel’s hair shirts, and generate genuine pleasure in self flagellation, all while other black people either look on in disbelief, or wonder how they can get in on the action?
Does this process help any black people, outside of those who are in on this particular hustle? That, I think I can say with certainty: absolutely not. It is a quasi-religious ritual, performed by whites, not an act of political coherence, much less relevance.
