Your response reminds me of something the also late, great Maya Angelo told a young white woman who dared to argue with her at some college lecture Sistah Anelou had given. The girl told her that white racism was over, that she'd never had a problem in her life...okay, maybe because "I'm white, blond and blue-eyed."

Sistah Maya's response: "Is that ALL you got? What's gonna happen when you are old and gray, and lose that coke-bottle figure after birthing your third baby, and maybe need 3 sets of glasses? "

Dr. Angelou (along with my own mother) was/is another of my "sheroes."

Thanks for reading/commenting.
