Indigenous Rising

gogrrrl:

After a huge debate with a girl yesterday about this issue I’ve decided to write about why I believe that reverse racism is a real thing:

• The dictionary definition of racism states that it is racist to be discriminatory against another human being due to their racial background.
• The dictionary…

•  The dictionary, written by white people who have no concept of racism, leaves out in the description of racism: systematic racism, institutionalized racism, and individual racism. Read about these issues before you attempt to define racism.
• Golly Gee! Why would the dictionary only tell a white person’s point of view on racism? I cannot imagine…. <–sarcasm
• White people do not experience racism. Not now, not in the past.
• White people CAN experience discrimination; however, these instances do not hold a candle to what PoC have gone through and are still going through.
• racism is not a thing of the past.
• You are mistaking the words prejudice and discrimination for racism. White people can experience prejudice and discrimination. White people do not experience racism.
• Racism=prejudice+power
• Again, typical white person. DISCUSES RACISM AND MAKES IT ALL ABOUT THEM. Your white tears disgust me. There are real people with real problems out there.
