white tumblr be like “so just because someone white says they hate black people and they’re dirty ghetto and stupid and lazy worthless coons, now all of a sudden they’re ‘racist’ lmaoooo okay. now i get it. everything is ‘racism’ now i s2g”
The fact that this is somehow amusing saddens me. When will we become the “Human Race”?
Probably when someone builds a time machine and erases the centuries of white supremacy, and erases the present white hegemony and oppression people who aren’t white are living in now, so that white kids can stop perpetuating the same racism as their slave owning great grandfathers and stop benefiting from Black oppression because of an unearned inheritance of skin color, and people stop ignoring that and asking everyone to be “colorblind” and pretend these problems don’t exist while there’s a clear disparity and realize that ignoring that disparity only adds to it, why?
