I appreciate your reassurances. It's not that I don't feel safe on your journal. There are just so many oddballs out there, that I guess I fear them coming into MY space, you know? And, it's not so much a huge fear, but it does stir some anxiousness that I hope will recede shortly.
I do think your reviews are brave because it's not always easy to stand up to people who disagree.
I respect what you're doing and how you're learning as you review. As someone who grew up during all the violence of the 60's, I've tried to be mindful of the way I treat all people, especially PoC. I have a lot of wonderful non-white folks in my life and I try to be constantly mindful of the way I portray all people in my stories.
So, I respect what you're trying to do and I appreciate the opportunity to learn through your observations, too.
I would never want to disrespect anyone, their beliefs, or their ways of life.
