i may be the whitest person in the world (seriously my skin is the same color as the white tattoo ink) but i am in total support of #blackout. this whole #whiteout thing is not only stupid and childish, it’s also incredibly racist. what you can’t handle another race being praised for their beauty and strength? like honestly, what is wrong with you? i’m not black so i can’t post any of my own #blackout selfies, but i will be reblogging. anyone who says that something like #blackout is racist or exclusionary, is so fucking ignorant. i’ve actually seen people saying like, oh black pride is great but white pride is racist, like yes that’s exactly what it is. black pride is about being proud of something about yourself that people oppress, just like gay pride. white pride is ridiculous because you’re not oppressed and overcoming it, you’re just being a conceited asshole, and you sound like an ignorant skinhead when you say shit like you’re proud to be white. here’s the difference, black pride is a result of every black person having something in common, and that thing is not their skin color, it’s how they’ve been treated throughout history and how they are still being treated today. gay pride’s commonality is also how they have been treated, not their sexual orientation. the only thing all white folks have in common is their skin color, and that isn’t something to be proud of on it’s own. like ok you were born with white skin congrats. but black people have the right to be proud of their skin color because that is what directly ties them to overcoming oppression and racism.

ok so i’m not sure if this post made that much sense, but the point is, don’t support #whiteout because all you are doing is finding yet another way to oppress black people

and i’m sorry if anyone thinks that because I am white i have no right to comment on this, i understand where you are coming from with that, and i do not pretend to understand your struggles, as a member of the lgbt community, i do understand oppression, but it is not nearly the same. please know that i was just saying my thoughts in this post and in no way was i trying to make #blackout about how nice of a white person i am or to complain about how people supporting #whiteout are making all white people look bad. #blackout is not my day, i intend to be a quiet supporter in the shadows. this #whiteout thing just really pisses me off, so i wanted to say my piece

thanks to anyone who took the time to read this

love you
