Let me say something that’s been on my mind recently:
- You don’t have to be white to be a racist.
- You don’t have to be black to be a racist.
- You don’t have to be Asian to be a racist.
- You don’t have to be Latino to be a racist.
- You don’t have to be anything to be a racist.
Racism is awful and nobody likes it. But it doesn’t only come from one specific race. The dictionary says nothing about racism only coming from one specific group of people. Racism is hatred or intolerance of another race or races.
So please people, stop blaming racism on specific groups of people. That’s just not right.
Instead let’s try to all get along and work together towards a future with no racism at all. We won’t accomplish anything by being hateful towards each other.
the dictionary, written 100 years ago by a White man, is not the correct and complete definition of racism. You might know the real definition of racism if you had ever actually experienced it. Racism = prejudice + power.
No, that’s where you’re wrong. Sure. Racism can equal prejudice + power. But it can also equal “Hey, you’re this type of person so I hate you.” Racism = Hate and Ignorance. Thanks for spreading your hate on my post. I appreciate it.
you are confusing prejudice with racism.
just going to copy and paste this here:
"i’m sorry, does looking up the definition of a potato make you some kind of all knowing expert on all things related to potatoes? or would you agree that in order to become the authority on potatoes, you would actually have to research them, read up on scholarly articles about them, and perhaps deal with potatoes often? fuck outta here"
in case you don’t get it, replace potatoes with racism. and shut the hell up while you’re at it.
I posted the dictionary definition to prove my point, not because I needed to look it up and be an expert. Who the hell said I was some sort of expert on racism? All I’m saying is that I’ve seen white people be racist to black people, I’ve seen black people be racist to white people. There Is no difference at all. They are both horrible, awful, mean, and offensive. There is no need for any of that, from anybody. So instead of just spreading even more hate and mean comments on my post, just take it for the message I’m trying send. And don’t tell me to “shut the hell up and get the fuck outta here”. This is my post and I’ll say whatever I like. If you don’t like what I’m saying, write your own post and ignore mine. Thanks.
the fucking fact is that this “racism” from black people toward white people IS NOT THE SAME
UNTIL WHITE PEOPLE ARE GUNNED DOWN FOR BEING WHITE
until you have less representation and less opportunities in careers or education as white people, based on your skin and hair texture
UNTIL YOUR CULTURES AND RELIGIONS ARE TRIVIALIZED BECAUSE YOU ARE WHITE
Until it’s 75% white people being stopped and frisked and arrested and incarcerated
UNTIL IT’S WHITE PEOPLE IN THE FIELDS PICKING YOUR ~*~ORGANIC~*~ VEGAN DELIGHTS for a damn $1 a day
until it’s white people’s neighborhood’s being destroyed because others hate to see you thrive
UNTIL IT’S THE NATIVE LANDS OF WHITE PEOPLE BEING STOLEN FROM THEM AND BROWN AND BLACK PEOPLE BENEFITING FROM THAT THEFT.
GO ahead and keep thinking there’s no difference, white person.
