Happy to elaborate, thanks for asking. I've read your article, in which you insist that blacks should give up their culture and assimilate just because it's the easiest thing to do. You mention that they're stupid for not doing that - I think it's four times. Just because something is practical doesn't mean it provides dignity.

I noticed that you don't honour anger as an apporpriate response to oppression either.

White mentality is not a racist comment, it's an observation. There is a specific majority culture mentality, it fits around the white population, from the creation of those laws back in the 17th century. The laws were made to distinguish whites from the then enslaved black population.

Asking a minority culture to assimilate or perish reminds me of the Rohingya massacre in Myanmar, do you see where I'm going with that?

Your tone speaks from a superior, that is where I see the condescension.

I see you're very well versed in human behaviour and dynamics.

I don't see how my question slanders you. Would you like to explain to me how you felt attacked or defamed by my comment?
