STOP Blaming Affirmative Action for Your College Rejection | Decoded | MTV News
Getting into college is tough, but being rejected from school is even tougher. One of the biggest myths is that affirmative action is taking away spots from those who deserve them more. However, Affirmative Action is not about selected under-qualified candidates of minority races, it is about giving those minorities an equal opportunity to be considered in the first place. And more than just minorities are benefiting. In fact white women have historically been the greatest beneficiaries of affirmative action! Of course, no one thinks the college admissions process is perfect, but maybe the frustration should be directed towards other aspects of the college admission process… (*cough cough* legacy admissions).
How Voter ID Laws Explain Structural Racism | Decoded | MTV News
Voter ID Laws may seem like a good idea, but they’re actually pretty terrible! On the surface, these laws appear to be a reasonable way to stop people from pretending to be someone else when they vote. But the reality is that this kind of voter fraud almost never happens!!! Instead Voter ID Laws primarily prevent the poor, the elderly, and people of color from voting. They way they’ve disenfranchised people of color is part of a very long history of voter suppression and is a classic example of structural racism. On this episode of Decoded, we show just how this systematic oppression works!
I've honestly had mixed feelings about your page. I agree on where you're coming from, but the way you go about it comes across as blaming other people. It's great to fight for other's rights. Just don't take it so seriously.
if my work makes you uncomfortable, you have every right to not interact with it or me. do what’s best for you & I’ll do the same. best.
@chescaleigh‘s perfect response reminds me of Michelle Obama’s quote:
“When they go low, we go high”

a message for “allies”
**This transcript is… not professional, I bolded the bits where I could tell Chescaleigh was taking off another person, and italicised all of her lines. Corrections are very welcome.**
Chescaleigh: “Hey there, Snapchat. My eyebrows are on but I’m about to go the fuck off because it’s been a good while. So if you follow me on Tumblr, you already saw that I reblogged this messy ass post about a straight dude on YouTube who makes these super baiting gay videos. This person is notorious for trying to clickbait people into thinking he may be coming out or that he’s naked in his video, which is some early 2000′s style YouTube bullshit. But that’s not the thing that really fucking pisses me off - I am so tired of people begging for fucking cookies for being a decent human being.”
Chescaleigh (her speech is rapid and her voice becoming high-pitched, too loud and overenthusiastic): “Hey everyone, I’m straight but I’m totally okay with people being gay! I just want everyone to knoiw I’m straight but I’m okay with you being gay. I just want everyone to know how progressive I am because gay people don’t repulse me - even though I’m straight. Like, I’m so straight.”
Chescaleigh (thankfully, she has returned to he own speech patterns): “Please shut the fuck up. Like, seriously it’s so embarrassing. And I - really. Straight folks we need to call more of us out. It’s - ugh! Oh, like Macklemore is like the number one! Remember that song where he’s like-”
Chescaleigh (momentarily turning into Macklemore): “It’s okay to be gay but I’m not gay - but it’s cool to be gay but I’m not gay though.”
Chescaleigh (back to herself again): “You want to show me how much of an Ally youare to members of another community, why not let those people fucking speak for themselves?! I swear, every single one of those dude’s videos are just him talking about how straight he is but how much he cares about LGBT folks. Here’s an idea, put somebody who knows what the fuck they’re talking about in the fucking video - so it’s not all centered on you.”
Chescaleigh: “Instead of begging everyone else for cookies because you’re so progressive and just care so much about everyone else’s fucking rights, why don’t you bake your own fucking cookies? Forgive me but I’m gonna quote myself, which is kind of douche-y, but I said this over the weekend: activism is like long division, fucking show your work. I see all these people talking about being Allies-”
Chescaleigh (tone becoming nasal and self-important): “I’m an Ally. Hey, everyone, did you know that I’m an Ally? Ally here! Got a little A, right here!”
Checaleigh (back to herself again): “Show don’t tell. Just do the fucking work. Just do the work because it’s important, not just because you want fucking cookies and pats on the head and YouTube views! Look, to do the right thing takes work and its hard and you don’t, a lot of times, get praised for it - actually you usually get shit on. You should do the right thing and stand up for what’s right because it’s the right thing, not because you want lots of credit for doing the right thing.”
Chescaleigh: “And this was inspired by one specific person but this happens all the time, like I get messages from people that say “oh my parents are really racist, but I’m not” or they send me screenshots of something that someone said that was really racist or like really homophobic or just like really generally awful. Like, okay. Like, sis, do you want credit for not being the person that said that awful thing? Here’s an idea - why don’t you call that person out, or call them in, instead of running to tell me about it? You know this happens to me all the time, like people I went to high school with will send me messages on Facebook of something a family member said that’s super racist but then they don’t say anything to them.”
Chescaleigh: “Your Allyship is more than a label, it is a job. It is a constant checking in, and a constant calling in and calling out. It means you have to have the hard conversations with your friends and family members when members of that marginalized community aren’t around to give you cookies! Then, and this is the really important part, then you have to keep that to your fucking self instead of running to go tell everybody what a good thing you did.”

“Activism is like long division. Fucking show your work.”
So well put.
MTV and that show Decoded with Franchesca Ramsey is most racist thing i have ever seen. America is such racist and bigoted place when they even allow show like that to even exist.
Franchesca Ramsey is synonym for racist.
you know you’re privileged when “the most racist thing you’ve ever seen” isn’t racial profiling, unarmed black people being killed by police officers ON CAMERA without consequence, the school to prison pipeline, the prison industrial complex, the Flint water crisis, the attempted genocide of Native American people or the rampant Islamaphobia in the US that’s resulted in hate crimes and filmed assaults at Trump rallies….but no, it’s a web series (that your ass chooses to watch every week) ABOUT racism.
here’s what happens when you call out white feminists
[start transcript] Hey, Snapchat. My eyebrows are on, but I’m about to go the fuck off—because I’m sick—fucking white feminists. So long story short, I asked why a show that’s all about “championing feminism” ignores women of color and makes fun of Asian women? And then, while everyone was sitting there patting themselves on the back for how “progressive” this show is, like, the black dudes are the punchline, in it? So afterwards, the moderator comes up to me, to white-splain to me what it “really” was about. And this woman—whew! “We’re not fetishizing black men because, you know, as a Jewish, plus-sized woman, black men really love me, and I’m just speaking my truth!” When the punchline is, “I’m too fat for cute white guys, but black dudes will fuck me because they’ll fuck anything,” you’re a fucking racist! And what I’m not here for is so-called white feminists white-splaining to me how “I don’t understand” what they meant. No, I understand! And what really got me fucked up, is when this woman said, “Well you know, it’s true, black guys love me,” I was like, “I have to go.” She, like, wouldn’t let me leave! The moderator, Jill Soloway, cornered me, and would not fucking let me leave, because they were so desperate to absolve their white guilt and make me understand that they weren’t racist. Jill Soloway’s ass had the fucking nerve to say to me, “Yeah, we should be intersectional. I think women and people of color need to work together!” I’m like, “Bu—but—women of color?!” You clearly don’t understand what intersectional feminism is if when I ask you why isn’t your show intersectional, your response is to separate women and people of color. Then—this is what killed me—then she had the nerve to be like, “You know, I’ve been looking for intersectional voices, but I can’t find them. Where are they? Just, where are they?” Hi, um, so yeah, I’m here with the Sundance Serial Content Lab, and I have a web series at MTV, and I just accepted my first TV writing job, so—here? I am so fucking sick of these women patting themselves on the back for calling out the patriarchy while being fucking racist. And what pisses me off, is even when I don’t curse, and I’m so professional and complimentary of your work, you still gaslight the fuck out of me! And this is why respecability politics are not shit. Cause even when I don’t curse, and I play nice and compliment your work, y'all still treat me like the fucking angry black woman. And, like, Emmy-winning Jill Soloway like, invited me to her house, to like, be her friend, like. I don’t wanna be your fucking friend. Like, fuck your white guilt. It just sucks, cause it really takes a lot of—like I was really, really fucking upset that these women treated me like this. And I’m the one that has to be professional, because I wanna work in this business, but I don’t wanna compromise my morals, but that’s what you have to do to fucking get a check. I’m, like—I wanna make a video about this, but, like, I just—I’m so tired of being the only person that, like, says anything, you know what I mean? It’s exhausting. And it’s alienating. And it’s lonely. And, like, I just wanna make, like, smart shit. I wanna be able to watch something and not be shit on. It’s 2016. There is no excuse. If some racist shit—shitting on Asian women and black men slip through your show—that tells me there are no people of color on your staff. You can throw a stone in any direction and see a talented person of color out here. Like, come on. You’re gonna look me in my face and tell me that “you can’t find any intersectional feminists anywhere”? You aren’t looking. Cause we out here. [end transcript]
thanks for transcribing!
I’m really not here for the tears… Because you’ll say ALL this shit and still go lay up under your white husband…. FUCK begging white women to act right…. Tired of this shit…
yup. I go home to a white husband and yet I still won’t stand for black men being fetishized and dogged out by the industry I want to be a part of. The only scripted representation of black men in this shit show was a teenager forcing himself on an intoxicated white girl. and that’s of course after he makes a gross joke about the main character’s “Jew titties.” you’re tired of this shit? so am I. representation matters. how black people are depicted in shows that will then reach MILLIONS, influences how black people are treated and seen in the real world. that fictional image of a slimy black kid trying to assault some white girl is the image that these white women see when they call the cops on black boys for being “scary.” and you’re lying to yourself if you fail to see the correlation.
question. where are the black dudes in interracial relationships out here standing up for black women? honestly. where are they? cause I only see them on Twitter & Tumblr sharing nasty memes about anyone darker than beige and fetishizing their unborn mixed babies. can you take a break from doing backflips to shit on me and my incredible husband to send me their links?
I’m so tired of this bullshit logic. I deal with DAILY HARASSMENT because I dare talk about social justice online. and then I deal with this mess IN REAL LIFE because I refuse to be quiet when someone disrespects my blackness, black people or any marginalized person for that matter. Are we pretending I didn’t mention that this show didn’t also make digs at Asian women? cause it did. and I wasn’t here for it either. but that goes away….cause my husband is white?
did my white husband protect me from getting threats at my home? does my white husband prevent racist assholes from re-editing my videos to make me say things I haven’t said? did it stop someone from making a video game walk through where they kill a character because it looks like me? or what about the meetings I’ve been in where I’ve been pet like a dog by people who “loooove my work.” please show me all the ways my white husband has prevented ANYONE from seeing me as black or calling my black ass a nigger. then show me how any of those experiences is made less hurtful because of who I climb into bed with. I’ll wait.
while you sit on your computer judging me (but still watching & sharing the content I produce) I’m out here doing the work. not because its glamorous, but because it’s right. and even though you’ll swear up and down my husband makes my experiences less authentic, I’ll keep doing the work. I’m not out here begging for shit. I’m demanding a world that let’s us have a voice to tell our own stories. I’m demanding a world that treats all of us fairly no matter what we look like or who we love. and instead of waiting for anyone else to create that world, I’m making it for myself. I’m developing THREE scripted projects (one is why I’m at Sundance) that will hopefully prove that it’s possible for socially conscious comedy to exist in the real world and that we don’t have to punch down for laughs. I don’t need a white woman to write it. I’m writing it myself.
honestly, I hope you find someone who loves and cares about you .2222222% of what my husband cares for me. cause it’s incredible. I hope you get 10 years out of a relationship with someone who encourages you, respects you, challenges you, makes you smarter, makes you laugh and feel like the most beautiful person on earth. maybe then you’ll worry about who you go to bed with instead of being so fucking pressed over me and my man.
I recently watched your video about "white feminists". I understood your concerns and sympathized with you but - I'm white, and of course, a feminist, - but racist? I dedicate such a large part of my life to finding and trying to create equality in my community. I too am shocked by situations in which people claim to be for the rights of a specific group but still seem to discriminate others. But it seemed that your main point was about racism and yet I felt attacked as a "white feminist".
if black women talking about their experiences with racist white feminists makes you feel “attacked”….you’re probably a white feminist. And since it made more sense for you to send me this message instead of doing your own homework, you can miss me with the #notallwhitewomen. thanks. Why We Need To Talk About White Feminism
ps. I uploaded these gifs on a crappy plane wifi so they’re broken and not animated. the second gif should say “doesn’t equal” but because gif is broken that isn’t clear. watch the video to clear any confusion. thanks.
If you're not too tired of recalling the horrible panel yet and don't mind answering, what was the stuff making fun of Asian women? And thank you for standing up for us.
when the main character gets dumped she says “fine now go date some Asian girl!” and later she calls out these guys for being sexist and says something along the lines of “am I not skinny enough? am I not Asian enough?”
the producer & moderator tried to explain it as a “critique” on the fetishization of Asian women, but it came off as “Asian women are beneath me, why do you want them instead of me?”
