This anon’s statement reeks “reverse racism”.

>”Sucks to be white”. 

Okay???????????

A good friend of mine told me “reverse racism” is white supremacy backfiring on white people. 

This anon should start telling the whites to stop their infatuation with white supremacy. 

Dear white people…

Whenever I see a question like this on the Internet, I tend to see the “racism is systemic” explanation go over people’s heads. I would like to offer an extension of this explanation. I, like many people, was taught in school that racism is either believing your own race to be superior or hating individuals of other races. Using these definitions and not considering historical (or present) context, one can certainly argue that racism goes both ways. 

However, context is everything, so let’s consider it. It is true that more and more people have friendships or otherwise positive relationships with people of different races. For this reason, I think that, when many white people hear someone accuse their actions as being racist, they think, “That’s ridiculous, how can I hate my friends?” Further, compared to earlier times, it is becoming rarer for people to publicly announce that they hate someone of a particular race or that they think their own race is superior. If you were to consider this and only this, you might come to the conclusion that there’s no more racism or that it’s on its way out. 

But if there’s no racism, why are people with whose names imply that they are white (e.g. Steve Jones) more likely to be called back for job interviews than people whose names imply that they are POC (e.g. Tahani Tompkins), even when they have similar credentials? x x

Why are white people less likely to see films where the majority of the cast consists of black people or other POC? x

Why are all-white juries more likely to convict black defendants to jail time than to convict white defendants, even when they’ve committed similar crimes? x

Why are black people twice as likely as white people to be born prematurely or with a low birthrate, even when controlling for education and socioeconomic class? x

Why are any of the phenomena described in these charts taking place? x

These are just a few examples of modern-day racism. If racism against white people existed, that would mean that people of color would have sufficient control of institutions like the media, the school and university systems, the medical systems, and the government to oppress white people. We do not have that power. White people do. Even if they truly don’t hate or see themselves as superior to POCs, white people as a group have benefits that POCs as a group do not have. 

Apparently when you talk about how a system is built for White people , by white people, at the expense of non-white people you’re a racist. Lol

Just another ridiculous derailment tactic used to avoid taking accountability for racism. Yall know Black people can’t be racist and even if we hated whites it wouldn’t really matter because black people are not out here oppressing whites. You know killing white children for stepping on our driveway, denying jobs, locking white men up at alarming rates, sucking the resources out of Europe as we speak, Promoting negative white image all over the media, teaching lies to white children about their real history. Yeah all that…

Personally I’m done explaining to people that I don’t hate Whites. If that is what you’re going to be labeled for waking ppl up, not accepting being a second class human, and not supporting white supremacy then so be it, Goddamnit! *Paul Mooney Voice*

White people and Negropeans if you spend less time “screaming reverse racism” and more time educating yourself on what racism really is your blood pressure would go down.

i finally put some thoughts into words // thedeathcats (via taint3ed)

"Culminating hate only makes you another supremacist". This logic is objectively flawed. They are calling out white people for being culture-thieves. That is not supremacy. They are not "oppressing" these racists. They are not altering their lives, and they are not marginalizing them in any way. Especially considering that marginalizing white people is impossible. It’s always white people saying "fighting fire with fire" never works. All people are doing is calling out your people’s problematic behavior and your privilege on this planet. Shining a light on something that became evident when your imperialistic ancestors dragged mine to this country is justice, not racism. I love how white folk always feel so “singled out” just for being called out on their actions. Acknowledge that your people have a fucked up history and come to terms with it. Only then will all of this shit move forward. Nobody cares if your feelings are hurt by being reminded of what your ancestors did. Telling people they hurt my feelings by calling me a nigger, scratching racial slurs into my car, and stomping my face didn’t get white people to stop doing it to me. I don’t know why you think whining with some half-baked bullshit logic would get their blog to stop. Unbe-fucking-lievable arrogance. Centuries of oppression and everything’s honky dory. Feel a little heat on fucking tumblr and you people always want to cry racist. 

Not all Jews identify with being White, and many consider themselves to be people of color, so not helping yourself there. On top of that, I can almost guarantee the struggles of the peoples listed above were cause by other White peopleand were most likely do to ethnocentrism, not racism. Racism would imply that White people in general have been oppressed by non-White groups, which they have not in the history of ever. Sooooo yeah, we’re saying racism against White people does and and has not ever existed.

Sure. Y’all can face prejudice, discrimination, and even stereotyping, but it’s a fact that those things do not happen to White people in general on a large scale.

"If a white person was in a room full of blacks, would they not have white privilege then?"

If a boss was in a room full of his employees, would his position of power automatically be taken away?

2. “Colorblindness” is a cop-out. The statements “but I don’t see color” or “I never care about color” do not help to build a case against systemic racism. Try being the only White person in an environment. You willnotice color then.

3. Oprah’s success does not mean the end of racism. The singular success of a Black man or woman (i.e. Oprah, or Tiger Woods, or President Obama) is never a valid argument against the existence of racism. By this logic, the success of Frederick Douglas or Amanda America Dickson during the 19th century would be grounds for disproving slavery.

4. Reverse racism is BS, but prejudice is not. Until people of color colonize, dominate and enslave the populations of the planet in the name of “superiority,” create standards of beauty based on their own colored definition, enact a system where only people of color benefit on a large-scale, and finally pretend like said system no longer exists, there is no such thing as reverse racism. Prejudice is in all of us, but prejudice employed as a governing structure is something different.

5. America has not “gotten over” its race-related problems. In American History class you learned about slavery and Jim Crow, but sadly you were taught that figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks eradicated an entire 200-year history of oppression, discrimination and segregation. Your history teachers and books tried close the race chapter on a high note, however the ongoing history of America’s systemic racism cannot be simply wrapped up and decorated with a “now we all are equal” bow.

6. Google is your best friend. Search: Black/White wealth gap, redlining, “White flight,” subprime mortgages and black families,  discriminatory sentencing practices, occupational overcrowding, workplace discrimination, employment discrimination, mandatory minimum sentences and in-school segregation to start. Here are some highlights:

7. Then read some more. Google: Black Wall Street, Sundown towns, eugenics and forced sterilization, and Black voting prohibition.

8. Buy and read a book from a Black author. Some recommendations: W.E.B Dubois, James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, Alice Walker and Zora Neale Hurston would be a great start.

9. Realize that segregation is still rampant. Step outside and take a look around your neighborhood. Lacking people of color much? That is called segregation. It is not by chance, though sometimes by choice. (Refer to “redlining” Google search.)

10. Programs or initiatives that target systemic racism are not “charity.” We do not refer to the 200 years of free labor provided by enslaved Blacks as charity. Or the Black property stolen by Whites during the decades of state-supported terrorism? Or, say, the unfair banking practices that have completely decimated the Black middle class through foreclosures (refer to subprime mortgages and Black families google search)?

11. Black on Black crime does not exist. There are countless White people committing crimes against White people, but “White-on-White crime” is strangely absent from the rhetoric reporting everything from elementary school shootings to world wars. Why should crimes committed by and against people of color be labelled any differently?

12. White people will not become the minority in America in the next 20 years. “Whites” were originally Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs). The definition of “White,” as a racial classification, has evolved to include “Whiter-skinned” minority groups who were historically discriminated against, barred from “Whiteness” and thus had little access to opportunity. Some examples: Italians and the Irish (who were frequently referred to as n***ers in the 1800’s), Jewish people and more recently Hispanic (George Zimmerman) and Armenian minority groups. Such evolutions, however, always exclude Blacks.

13. Hip-hop culture is no more dysfunctional than Wall Street culture. At its worst, commercial “Black culture” is a raw reflection of broader society. The caricatured imagery of drugs, money, and women are headlined most prominently by Wall Street, politicians, and media moguls but this reality never comes to reflect on White people. America spends more on weaponry than the most of the rest of the world combined but somehow it is the “violence” of hip-hop that is an exclusive pathology.

14. Black people are angry about racism, and they have every right to be. Anger is a legitimate and justified response to years of injustice and invisibility.

15. There are poor White people, but racism and discrimination still exists. The plight of the poor White midwest always makes a convenient appearance to deflect any perceived accusation of privilege or to derail conversations of racism. Racist American policy was never about securing the success of all White people, but rather about legalizing the disenfranchisement of Blacks and other people of color.

16. Silence does nothing. Blank stares and silence do not further this difficult but necessary conversation.

17. White guilt is worthless, but White action isn’t. One of the most immediate responses to racial discourse is that the effort is all about making White people feel guilty. Discourse about racism is not meant to stir up feelings of guilt, it is meant to drive people to action against injustice. During the times of slavery and the era of the Civil Rights Movement, both Black and White people played and continue to play instrumental roles in Black advancement.

18. Black people are not obligated to answer the “Well, what do we do about it?” question. Though many of us do and are not heard. The call for reparations in the form of “Baby Bonds”  is a great idea. So isdesegregating our classrooms  and closing the school-to-prison pipeline. These courageous voices are speaking very loudly — it is time to start listening.
