'I am not a racist': Student who wrote op-ed titled 'Should White Boys Still Be Allowed to Talk?' speaks out

Article here. Excerpt:

'A college student who asked “Should White Boys Still Be Allowed to Talk?” in an opinion article for her college newspaper and was characterized online by some as racist wants to set the record straight, telling Yahoo Lifestyle, “I do not hate white people.”

Leda Fisher, a senior at Dickinson Collegein Carlisle, Pa., published the piece Thursday in the student-run newspaper theDickinsonian criticizing white male students for taking up space in underserved areas to validate narrow-minded opinions.
...
Fisher said she gets annoyed sitting in class listening to “a white boy explain his take on the Black experience in the Obama-era. Hey Brian, I’m an actual Black woman alive right now with a brain. In what world would your understanding of my life carry more weight than my understanding?”'

I wonder how many people believe white people when they uttered that expression. I personally know of one US black who accuses me of being racist and refuses to countenance protests to the contrary.

So darling I'll believe you, millions wouldn't.
