Sir..

I stand behind everything I said in my response. Can we both agree that you could’ve possibly worded your comment wrong?

And I bought up the black people maintaining their youth as an epithet. It’s just something I wanted to state and no it’s not really what we’re talking about but it’s more truth than “it’s common trait for black people look older”…

Honestly I don’t know.. but.. do you honestly think Black kids look older because it’s inherent? I know you said it’s ‘somewhat common’ but I’m genuinely curious

I think when compared to white kids; which is how white people are generally basing their comparisons due to their life experiences, black kids have a tendency to look older once they enter puberty.

I can't figure out what issue you have with my initial statement unless you were reading it with a negative voice which doesn't make sense to me with the message and links provided. I guess I could have offered more explanation but I felt the provided links did that better than I could. If you think of something please let me know because I honestly don't get your issue.

Her issue is that she thought you were white saying that. That’s it.
