Hi Sa'iyda, I'm white, but I'm Spanish. I like the stuff you write. It baffles me that what B Spears wrote about his ex in a book to make money and gain some relevance is a matter of debate among women in the US. Maybe I am living under a rock, but I also had a conversation about white feminism and Taylor Swift with Kerra Bolton, and that grown-ass women act like that is something I cannot grasp (i.e., identifying with / sanctifying a pop star). The cultural atmosphere around feminism and race in the US is borderline science fiction for me (for lack of a better expression). Heading now to read your piece from Scary Mommy. Will report back!
OK, I read it and then the one you linked, "As A WOC, I Don’t Want To Hear About Your Black Friend," and here I was, name-dropping Kerra Bolton shamelessly.
In any case, the whole "not feeling safe" around you for this article is another unsolved mystery. You might have been too harsh here: "Keep your generic memes to yourself".

She’s indignant because he didn’t want to do-parent with her…
