I never equated the current concern for disadvantaged people of color with the racism of slave holders. But you clearly did, and projected it onto me. Too bad you're not willing to own your own shit.

You may not have intended to do that or maybe it was just a casual throw away line but it is clearly implicit in your comment.

What you call "projection" by me, I call "critical reading." I don't know how else to interpret the statement:

It is quite possible I am wrong so please clarify your meaning for me or give me an example. I would very much appreciate being schooled here.

The connection you see isn't in the words on your screen, it's in you.
