Anger is not hate. And I have the right to be angry.

No, you are not required to help me. I am not in need of help. I am an educator. Continue to think critically and use what I call the 3Cs of navigating through the language of Whiteness and White Supremacism:

Comprehension: This is the most important because it is the essence of understanding what you are saying, being told, writing or reading, or the ability of one’s mind to form and craft imagery and concepts from the words. Other terms for this most important aspect of navigation are grasping, cognition, cognizance, awareness, perception, discernment and interpretation .

Context: Second to comprehension inly in its numerical designation and not importance, is the ability to understand the “circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed."

Connotation: Not in the least, but the last of the three is the ability of the words to summon emotion, or “an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning.”

Connotation is particularly important because it is the feeling of the words. It is the “expressive” part. It is that part of the words, sentences and paragraphs from thought which create the drama and cause people to react happily, sadly, violently or otherwise.

With these tools you will be able to understand my essays with a clear eye into history and it's relevance today.
