In this case I don't even think she intended to put words in my mouth. Polarization and victim hood are symmetrical. For every person I hear talking about white supremacy and how all white people are guilty I hear someone else telling me that they are the real victims and black people are the real racists.

I also see a lot of people who just assume when I say poor or marginalized I mean black, but if I meant black I would have said black.
