thefuriousdolphin: heymrsamerica: thefuriousdolphin: feathersandpaper-deactivated201: Hello:) okay so here’s the deal. There’s a fundamental misunderstanding in the white community of the actual definition of “racism”. But it all boils down to the fact that white people cannot experience racism because there is no system of oppression working against white people. Throughout history we (white people) have colonized and exploited and enslaved people of color then claimed their land and natural resources, and as white people in the 21st century we continually benefit from our past (and present as in still happening) actions. We, as white people, will never have to walk into a job worrying that we may be turned down for a job because we’re too pasty. But people of color are judged and profiled and discriminated against in a system that is specifically designed by white people for white people making aspects of every day life for them difficult in ways we will never experience. Now don’t confuse racism with sexism or homophobia, there are communities of people that are discriminated against as well but those are completely different conversations. Bottom line, you can not be racist to white people because there is no institutionalized racism against white people anywhere in this world. Aamer Rahman says it perfectly in his “Fear of A Brown Planet” comedy sketch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_mRaIHb-M Some really great blogs to follow that discuss race issues from the perspective of people of color are:

www.reverseracism.tumblr.com Meg, you’re a dumb cunt, plain and simple, but for arguments sake, look at Africa. The systemic killing and dismemberment of white farmers, the fact that in Zimbabwe you can’t own land if you’re white, and the amount of black-on-white crimes over there. The list can go on a lot farther. Fuck you and your white guilt.

Not every fucking white person in history was am oppressor. I’m Irish and Scottish, my people were oppresed you idiot. You’re a fucking disgrace because you’re ashamed of your colour and bought into the bullshit that you need to apologize for simply being born white. “The systemic killing and dismemberment of white farmers, the fact that in Zimbabwe you can’t own land if you’re white, and the amount of black-on-white crimes over there. The list can go on a lot farther.” My question for you is: WHY DO YOU THINK THAT SHIT IS HAPPENING?

Because people in Zimbabwe just don’t like white people? Naw, son. Because it was done to them FIRST. You can’t own land if you’re white in an African country? Ok, and? Why do they need to? It was all basically stolen by those same peoples ancestors. You see the logic here? Does it make it right? Absolutely not, but do you see why people from Zimbabwe and other African countries are angry at the fact that white people are on their land? I mean, it takes a special kind of dense fuck to not see why this is happening. Again, it doesn’t make it right. Why would they need to own land? Hmmmm, that’s a tough one.



BECAUSE THEY WANT TO! They were born in Zimbabwe, raised in Zimbabwe, maybe they take up farming, maybe they want to own land so they can own expand their farm or improve it.



So because shit happened in the past by another, that excuses their actions?! That all of a sudden glosses over it?!



Naw bitch, it doesn’t work like that, just because the British decided to make a fucking empire and colonize Africa, doesn’t justify racially discriminating white people decades upon decades upon decades later! That is fucking insane to think like that.



That same logic can be said for them going in to colonise because of the 300 years of slavery in North Africa in which Muslims specifically went after white people and would take them and enslave them!



Fuck your bullshit argument you uneducated fuck. If that’s the only thing you want to address, then I guess, but if you don’t see why they’re getting a taste of their own ridiculous medicine, then I honestly don’t know what to tell you. Because that same shit is still happening to people of color here in America and has been forever and this wasn’t even the white mans land to begin with. Do you see a problem with that? Probably not. Who cares what they want honestly? Poc have RIGHTFULLY wanted so many things for so many years and can’t get it, but some white people in an African country can’t get some land there and were supposed to feel bad about it? The people of Zimbabwe DONT want it, just like they didn’t want to be colonized and kidnapped all those years ago.

Taste of their own medicine? Now I realize, you’re just a racist, you’re an ignorant motherfucker.



If I can’t care about someone in Zimbabwe for having their rights violated? Why should I care about what’s happening in America? I live in Canada.



Everyone worldwide should be given the same opportunities, everyone should be treated fairly. Not make some bullshit about them getting a taste of their own medicine, and doing the exact same thing back to them.

You act as though white people can’t be oppressed, but when I give you evidence that they are in the world, you say the deserve it, you say it’s payback for what other white people did in the past. Does that make sense to you? You are fine with somebody suffering, simply over the colour of their skin.

The ever evident racism in the states is a huge fucking problem, the police are corrupt, the legal system is in shambles, POC are looked at differently for the sheer fact of their skin. It needs to be changed.

But by your logic, I could just say it’s a taste of their own medicine for what’s happening in North Africa and what happened in the past.



But reverse the situation, reverse the roles and stick it across the ocean and suddenly it doesn’t matter? What if it was Arabs being being oppressed? What if it was Indians? Maybe Japanese?



You could even use the argument that it’s payback, that it’s just them getting a taste of their own medicine. Does it make it right? Absolutely not.
