Anonymous asked: I do have a question. Am I staying in my lane as a white person to be against racism but not saying whether something is racist or not, not get involved in poc issues i.e. ferguson and bring awareness to the issue, and agree that there is white privilege and it should be stopped? This is a serious question because I do wanna stay in my lane, thank you for your time!

vulpixilate: damerst: vulpixilate: you missed the point sonny… go ahead and speak on racism, just don’t expect your opinion to count more than a person of colour’s. This is because you have no experience as a victim of racism. People of colour do. The point is, you do not get to decide. As a white person, I don’t expect my opinion to count more than a person of color because I expect it to be viewed equally to everyone’s else’s because I’m not a fucking cunt Well, there’s your issue. Your opinion (on racism) CANNOT be equal to a person of colour’s because you will NEVER have the same experiences as them. You’re right, I won’t. It doesn’t mean I don’t sympathize any less, or that I won’t acknowledge racism still lingering today, for all fucking colors, some more than others. If that invalidates my opinion, then fuck you.

I never said you couldn’t sympathize or acknowledge. Literally, the first answer to the ask already stated that. What are you even arguing for now?
