You said: “ How can you be so presumptious as to know what I assume? “

By asking the question you cognitively make the assumption.

You said: “ With that said and since you are directly exposed to a white racist society can you elaborate on how you avoid falling into the Black skin/white mask syndrome*(again I have added the syndrome). “

A progressive informed black woman that I am, do not have a self-hating mindset, intentionally giving away my rights considering the reality of my community in culture, employment, opportunities, etc…
I am about the business of Black people. I identify with Black people! If I was suffering from a Black skin/white mask syndrome, I would get in the way of progress for Black people, by going on degrading my people, dismissing racial politics discussions with both blacks and whites in every conceivable way possible. The denialist self-castigating attitude aka Black skin/white mask behavior IS assassin to Black folks!
