Which is to say that, sometimes, marginalized people say to privileged people...
What if I don't want to be your learning experience?
What if I had plans for my morning that did not involve being a tool for your self-improvement?
(No, don't apologize - if I did have urgent plans, I would have stopped engaging with you already. Just, please, recognize that this is also a dynamic that privileged people need to be cognizant of.)
Are you seriously yelling SCREW YOU, YOU PRIVILEGED PERSON at a black woman in a post about racism? lierdumoa is a queer woman of color who has been active in several race/intersectionality discussions on lj. She doesn't usually hold discussions at a Racism/Gender Issues 101 level, which seems to have confused you, and led you to comment with a text block of condescending 101 language that you honestly do not seem to have a very solid grasp on. Congratulations: you have now successfully appropriated anti-oppression language to a.) insult her, and b.) derail the conversation from a discussion about passive-aggressive racist white fans into chest-pounding about how you are being marginalized. I would be surprised by how thoroughly all of your earlier predictions about clueless white antiracists and their bad behavior have come true, but honestly, it's not that much of a shock. Your martyred pose here is disgusting.
