You just said Kobi is a bad white person who must examine her presumed racism and privelege.
But people of color because of their unique life experience have free reign to call me names and belittle me?
This makes sense. Again, I have to allow for them but they dont have to treat me with any respect simply because of the color of their skin.
Thats bizarre.

Kobi no one is calling you names, you are saying racist things, that does not mean you are a racist. Racist is not the same as calling someone Brown when you are white, it is not the same as calling someone N* when you are white, all of those things are racist speech. It implies you are saying racist things. To be a racist you must firmly believe these racist things, if you believe them then yes (you) are a racist.
