auxxxiliary: to tae: i dont hate myself nor do i hate anyone because of their skin color. i even participated in the mike brown protests in ferguson and advocated for anti-racism at my high school. discriminating against any race because of their race is simply defined as racism. asians, indians, whites, blacks, native americans, latinos can all be racist. it has nothing to do with who benefits from it. i am aware white people can be racist. i have been called nigger. but i believe people deserve equality.

“discriminating against any race because of their race is simply defined as racism.”

NO NO NO that is not it sorry

I’m gonna dumb it down in case you don’t get it:

White people are the standard, according to society. They have bad RACIST thoughts about anyone who isn’t white…ooohhh scarryyyy right?? So they began to harm and enslave us!!! Steal our culture and kill us! WOOO!

So they began to build this horrible system on thoughts like:

“Black people are thugs”

“Black people are ugly”

“Black women are welfare queens”

“Mexicans are dirty”

“Muslims are terrorists”

Where are the horrible thoughts about white people?

THERE ARE NONE!

So no, white people do not face racism.

HOWEVER, people of color can oppress other people of color thru colorism, internalized racism and fetishization.

Got it?
