As folks dust off, starch, & iron their capes in defense of #RachelDolezal We r reminded that privilege continues to swing only in the white direction.
in case anyone wondered my stance on “transracial”
Tag: dammit white people
it’s truly amazing how short whites range of vision is when it comes to oppression. because they really think this situation is because of one person dying. they really don’t seem to understand that history dictates how society reacts to things. it’s amazing how self centered they are because amidst black people being slaughtered and angry about it the first thing they say is “not all white people.” it’s truly telling when your immediate reaction to this is to try and save your reputation instead of trying to make a progressive change.
or how abt you realize that just because someone’s great-great-great-great-great-greatetc-grandfather owned slaves that doesn’t automatically make THEM oppressive and racist 😉
Exhibit A everyone
I do support the change, and i am trying to fight for change. I think saying a whole group is bad, is not helping the issue. It’s similar to saying all men are rapists. If we want change, we shouldnt be hostile
Exhibit B.
OK but you’re worried about people who want to dissociate themselves from racism while a bunch of opportunists are burning their own community to the ground, because turning your own home into a shithole will sure show whitey! :^)
Exhibit C
I’m at the women of color call to action summit right now and this is pretty much the dealie.
*distant scream* WHIIIIITE PEEEEEOPLLLLLE
