this:

"Transracial identity is a concept that allows white people to indulge in blackness as a commodity, without having to actually engage with every facet of what being black entails -- discrimination, marginalization, oppression, and so on."

What being black entails... is consistently being reduced to "discrimination, marginalization and oppression". While I understand our experience cannot be examined or discussed without considering this and that only we can comprehend the full impact, why are we so comfortable defining the "Black Experience" in such negative terms?
