I'm certainly not one to point out racism but can we pause for a moment - and appreciate how racist this statement actually is?
It was a loaded question - where the white man was offended on behalf of the black man, and asked the question believing the black couldn't possibly not be offended. If the black man is offended, white guy wins "Black Ally" points. If the black man isn't offended, white guy paints black guy an Uncle Tom or right-wing nationalist.
The white guy asked the question specifically to preen about how "in-tune" he is with black causes. He is "hyper sensitive" to the cause and only he can help you.
He's a racist, white-messiah complex having, psychopath.
"How does that make you feel as a black man?"
