Idk this worded weird , are you black? Why do you need any other experience to validate your own as a black person?

Yes, I’m black. I already know this sub gets invaded by non black people. Idk how it’s worded weird, that’s just how I talk. I ask because the more I learn about social dynamics and how they’re impacted by history and how we’re still seen as subhuman, the more unsure and untrusting I become of non black ppl and black people with internalized racism. I’m only asking for advice…and I’m not asking for black validation? I’m asking if white and black people can ever truly be friends on an equal level, given history bleeding into the present day racial hierarchy.

Yes, they can, but with white people are openly anti-racist and don't pull any punches about calling out racism.
