I am a so called "person of colour" too, even though I absolutely despise that term. I think this hypocrisy is reprehensible, if it was the other way around there would be an outrage.

But when your news is constantly bombarding you with yet another black person killed by police day after day, while a white kid can shoot up a school and live undoubtedly places pressure on one’s psyche.

Unfortunately, listening to one-sided mainstream media is where people go wrong.

These women are retreating for their own peace of mind in the best way they know how. Group segregation in spiritual and religious practices aren’t old either.

But it is celebrated for coloured people and demonised if it were a group of white people. You don't think that is hypocritical?

I can agree with you on only two points:

Ultimately, we should all strive for thicker skins.

...and MSM is race baiting.

If white people are not allowed to appropriate others culture, then POC cannot appropriate others cultures. Would you not call that equal? I also notice that you do not mention black on black crime. I too hope people can get over these problems, however identity politics and safe spaces will block people from the introspection required to develop as an individual.
