Whateverist, I see you're no longer replying to my PM. I conclude that you're not anymore interested whilst continuing to think of me as a bad person.
No, learn from my bad example and don't jump to conclusions. I'm sympathetic to what you're going through but I haven't been around much, don't participate on slack and haven't read a lot of this thread. Just too busy the last couple days.
I think the problem now is that your words and actions give the appearance that you are eager to distance yourself from being perceived as the negroid sort of black. Does that ring true at all, either about you or in how it seems people are responding to you?
If you think it is at all true about yourself, I'd recommend just reflecting on this on your own without interacting here for a while. If you are quite sure it is not true about you, but think that describes what you think is a misperception on the part of others, you might want to consider: we don't always know ourselves perfectly so it isn't entirely unreasonable for others to doubt you even though you are convinced otherwise. If that is the case, you might have to accept that you can't always persuade others to share your perception.
Again, I haven't read a lot and wasn't there on whatever slack might be. I'm inclined to try to understand your perspective better after roasting you from the hip to start off. But I'm not the offended party.
For your own well being, I'd encourage you to consider the possibility that you may not be able to make this right in a way that allows you turn this forum into a place where you can have a positive experience. If that is the case, you can always try find another place on the web to start over. Good luck, really.
