applauds your reply on discrimination Seriously, what don't people understand? It doesn't matter what your race is, or the race of the other person. If you hate or are hated because of your race, it's racism. End of Story. Same goes for sexism. And need people be reminded that racism and sexism can happen INSIDE a group? No, a black person would never hate another black person. A gay person could never possibly be homophobic! Really? Get a fucking reality check, then come back to me.

I have no idea. I think it’s just the fact they’re feeling oppressed and have a big outlandish scream about things that don’t make much sense that creates the cyclic problem. Nothing someone’s ancestors have done can validate abuse to their grandchildren, unless they’re still directly involved. No one should be born into prejudice.

The whole world is a mental illness.

welp

and if any of you white people respond with “wait but I didn’t do that. that was in the past”

i need you to check your privilege

and then drink bleach if you think your hands aren’t dirty

They’re not.

Guilt doesn’t transfer from generation to generation. I am not magically accountable for something my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather MIGHT have done. Also;

>social justice blogger
>telling people to kill themselves

I love that there’s a blog called “this is white culture” that is solely devoted to bad things white people did, not their cultures at all. So I guess I can make a blog called “this is black culture” and post gang and crime records and that’s 100% okay. Or “this is Muslim culture” and make it all about terrorism.

But wait, you cry. Not all black people are criminals and not all Muslims are terrorists. That’s unfair! And racist!

WELL GOLLY GEE DO YOU THINK SO? Because saying that all white people are responsible for the Atlantic slave trade sounds pretty racist to me, given that, you know, that was between the African slaveholders and the British and Americans and had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my ancestors, who were incredibly poor farmers and serfs from Ireland and Lithuania who had to flee to America at around the turn of the century (by which time slavery had already been abolished in the US) because they were being treated like slaves. Even if they had been living in America at the time when slavery was legal they wouldn’t have been able to afford a slave; in fact they probably would have been working with them in the fields and treated about the same, since the first slaves in America were actually white serfs. But please, tell me more about how dirty my hands are because of circumstances surrounding my birth that I could not control and continue to treat me differently based on the color of my skin without actually knowing anything about my heritage, I’m sure that isn’t racist at all!

There is no such thing as reverse racism. There is reverse discrimination, but people of colour cannot be racist towards white people because white people invented the concept of race. Racism is the systematic denial of resources and opportunities to people based on the colour of their skin, and white people are the ones in control of those resources. You may not have had any relation to the slave trade because your family came from Greenland 20 years ago. However, the fact is you still benefit from what slavery and racism in the past did to relationships between people from different ethnic backgrounds. Race was invented as an arbitrary classification to ensure that white people were able to maintain their positions at the top of society, and it has continued to today because white people are STILL at the top of society and STILL in control of much of the world’s resources. So no, it isn’t racist to point out that white people’s hands are dirty because you benefit from racism even if you had no part in its institution.

the idea of being socially conscious is also a social construct.

remember when you said that “white people invented the concept of race”? no, some people who were white invented race. white people also invented the light bulb and the atom bomb, but you being white didn’t really have much to do with those things, now did it?

and “people of colour cannot be racist”? in a country where you do not live, progressively called japan, white people (and all other non-japanese races and ethnicities) are socially (and sometimes legally) discriminated against. in the united arab emirates, arabs discriminate against indians and pakistani immigrants. believe it or not, racial and ethnic issues exist in more than just the united states theatre and the black/white theatre.

honestly sometimes people trip over themselves so eagerly to ‘stand against racism’ that it reveals that nobody truly cares about being racist or not…the anti-racism movement is just that: a movement. it’s “in” to be anti-racist.

*takes a shot every time someone says ‘check your privilege’*

*applauds*

What is intended to be anti-racist is actually quite racist. You do not know my character nor my history, merely my colour. As above, any race can be racist against any race. No race is pure and without guilt or pride of what a few have done, if you think so you’re a total supremacist. The skin colour you’re born with does not dictate your friend nor your enemy.

Economically-destructive international capitalism is the cause of “[the few] white people being above others”, not the fact that the fat-cat is white. There was ~20% chance it would be any of the “five major races.” White can mean HOW many things? Irish? South African? Australian? Russian?

You’re bringing up history that doesn’t even affect you. Because I’m gay I’m supposed to go and beat up my German friend because gays were slaughtered by the Nazis? Or the local priest because of what happened in Salem? Or my Jamaican coworker because of the shootings that have happened? Maybe I should attack my 3rd generation-Australian Islamic friend because of the politics of Iran?

You’re ridiculous. Go have a nap.

this is how I learned to stop doing it, people should reblog this.

this is actually important

Hey look self harm advice that acknowledges that there’s more than two reasons that people do it

applauds

Seems good for many types of self harm, not just cutting. I wonder if any of this stuff would work with trichotillomania.

for all my followers
