Reverse racism, as a whole, is not much of an issue. That being said, if you’re one of the infinite numbers of “social justice bloggers” who HONESTLY FUCKING BELIEVES that NO ONE is racist against whites, then god damned you are a fucking idiot.
white people can…
I certainly do admit that. However, here is dictionary definition of racism: 1. the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
2. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.
Just because the word has strongly reinforced connotations of “power,” doesn’t mean that it’s innate to the word.

He isn’t ignorant.
AH IM GETTING SO MAD
Anyone who uses the dictionary to support their grade-school level of understanding is incredibly ignorant (at least regarding racism).
I’m ignorant when it comes to a lot of things, say animal husbandry for example. No shame in being ignorant. There is shame in staying ignorant when provided with information to educate yourself with.
Yeah, anyone who uses the dictionary to support their understanding of a WORD is ignorant.
When you’re using the dictionary as the end-all arbiter of meaning, especially for a concept as complex and nuanced as racism, not to mention ignoring socio-historical context, yeah it’s really fucking ignorant.
I swear to god everyone who's still reblogging this didn't take even one second to read the entire thread or try to understand what the fuck I was saying about individual discrimination and connotative language. They just see "bornabitch-allthedaysandnights," the social justice hero blogger. Who is using this as an opportunity to promote themselves as an authority on the issues, without ever considering what the person they're attacking was actually. fucking. saying.
I read everything you wrote. I have read every comment made on this post. You originally stated that white people experience racism and anyone who disagrees is an “f*cking idiot”. White people do not experience racism. Stop playing the victim and do your homework.
