@mekkaokereke @semitones @tillshadeisgone Thank you for taking the time to explain! For me it's hard to wrap my head around, and while I'm all for believing the victims in their description – I think trying to understand the situation by thinking it through enables me a better "ally", defend PoC better, etc.

If you still have the energy, there's a bit more of questions I have: I think understand what you describe with your point about racism being worse than other discriminations. My closest experience is (white) cis women, who, while not per se marginalized, are discriminated against, use the "power" vetted into them by progressive parts of society to counter this, to hate against trans people. And it's incredibly hard to argue against them because you then feed the trans-women-are-just-mysogynist-men-in-dress stereotype. Similar situations with the LGB-Alliance, Lesbians/Gays/Bis speaking "against the T". I find this phenomenon where marginalized people get at each others throats sad but also very common in all directions. What is unique here w.r.t. Black people?
