da but what are these opinions or ideas that you have about race that need to be brought up in a conversation amongst poc? questions, i understand and encourage, but what knowledge do you have that will contribute to the discourse and why does it matter to them? it sucks to be ignored in any circumstance but when you don't have the authority to speak on an issue, it's best you don't, regardless of what enlightened piece of information you want to share. white peoples' role in a discussion about race amongst poc is to learn, not teach.

nothing in particular, i'm just talking about in general. i don't suppose it's knowledge so much as is it opinion. i'm just talking about discussion for discussions sake here. i don't intend to teach. it's more of a sharing of ideas, opinions, etc.

i mean, what exactly is it that you want to gain from these discussions? it seems to me that you genuinely want to learn more about the issues, so why not just phrase these things as questions rather than opinions? having a discussion about race is perfectly fine, great even, but it's just a given that you're bound to offend or say something that's problematic to him/her (this happens in most other discussions, i think) because you don't have the full knowledge of the issue. just take it in stride and try to convey your opinions/thoughts in a way that communicates your intentions.
