      me. That’s my opinion. Being black is not a curse.

        Awesome! According to me, the person I was talking about, “being cursed with a hint melanin” is an obvious in-joke to other black or mixed people. I’ll keep describing myself however I like, and you do the same!

        A curse is a condition that bestows a disadvantage. Being black is not a curse in and of itself, but being black + being in any one of many places around the world today is definitely a curse-esque combination due to racism.

          I roll with disadvantage every time I try to avoid people being offended on my behalf for comments I make about myself. Such is my curse as a sarcastic biracial man in modern America.

              I’m not being judgemental. I literally told you to continue using and disliking words as you saw fit. You’re the only one that seems upset.

                You’re not as good at sarcasm as you think. That’s irony by the way.

                  Once again, you’re the only one that seems to be having an issue getting what I said. Seems more a you problem.

                  Just take the L and move on dude. It’s really not that big of a deal. It’s ok to make mistakes. I don’t really care that you tried checking me on language I used to describe myself, like I said it happens all the time, but this constant badgering is kinda sad. I’d already completely forgotten this entire interaction happened by the time I opened every single one of your responses. It’s not that serious.

                    The irony is that I was being sarcastic and you didn’t understand the sarcasm of me arguing that I know what you ment better than yourself - As a reply to a comment where you explained yourself in no unsure terms. I didn’t have a problem with your statement at all, but now I’m starting to tire of your boneheadedness. But I’ll move on. I won’t interact with you again so you should be at peace. Good day to you.
