and she's not even pretty!

VEGANISM. FEMINISM. LIBERAL-Y. CATS. FOOD. LYME DISEASE. SOME OTHER STUFF.

  • Prejudice: [PoC calls white person a cracker].
  • Racism: Two centuries of PoC being stolen from their homelands, driven out of their native lands, tricked, raped, infected with disease, and otherwise downtrodden so as to remove them from any chance of being the dominant race.
  • Prejudice: [PoC gives a white person a nickname playing on the fact that they're white].
  • Racism: PoC must, from the moment they realize a baby is on the way, worry about whether giving a child a name reflecting their heritage will affect their chances at a good life in the future. Hint: it will.
  • Not racism: Calling out that slavery lasted for two centuries, and civil rights did not happen for PoC until the 20th Century (you know, the century which only ended TWELVE YEARS AGO).
  • Racism: We should not talk about it, because it makes [non-PoC] feel bad.
  • Not racism: A non-PoC actor can get pretty much any role s/he wnats.
  • Racism: ... including roles that were originally written as PoC. PoC actors must settle for roles making them servants, sassy women, jive turkey men, criminals, drug addicts, or abused downtrodden prostitutes, the better to reinforce the negative mental image of PoC in the minds of the zeitgeist, and hold up the excuse that "they bring it on themselves".
  • Not Racism: Flattering pictures of people used to represent them on the web.
  • Racism: Flattering pictures of Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachman. But the most unflattering pic available of Michelle Obama is used for the same article.
  • Not Racism: Articles about women's features.
  • Racism: Article purporting to have scientific "proof" that Black women are uglier than women of any other race.
  • Not Racism: America is where everyone is supposed to have equal chance.
  • Racism: Equal chance? Freed slaves were lucky if they got 40 Acres and a Mule, after working for free for generations for people who are now wealthy and offered no other reparations.
  • Not Racism: Irish History Month, Italian History Month, French History Month, German History Month, etc. All of which would, technically, qualify, btw, as White History Months.
  • Racism: It's not Cameroon History Month, Nigerian History Month, Egyptian History Month, Zimbabwean History Month, Zaire History Month, Somalian History Month, etc. It's BLACK History Month. Doesn't matter what country in Africa you come from. If you're Black you just all get lumped in together.
  • Not Racism: PoC describe their experiences.
  • Racism: Non-PoC interrupt, derail, silence, mock, deride, or cite "oversensitivity" because it makes them feel uncomfortable to know that PoC have endured this, and to have to acknowledge their privilege -- and their responsibility to do something about it if they really are as anti-racist as they profess.

White people desperately want to be able to experience racism, and I’m really not sure why.

Because we don’t actually understand what experiencing racism is like…because…and here it is…no matter how much we want to say otherwise…we don’t actually experience it. 

No we don’t, white folks. We don’t.

This is correct^ and also, we feel better about playing the role of a victim than accepting that whiteness is oppressive. It’s easier. It doesn’t challenge us. We don’t have to think to feel like victims. And we’ve always been told that we’re victims too, it’s engrained in there. Equality = white victimization. Everything about racism is blaming the other people for what we do. Racism doesn’t work unless you can pretend that you have a reason for it, albeit a bullshit one.

Too true. So many White folk want to revel in perceived victimization, not actual discrimination—if they could fathom what being the target of racism actually feels like, they’d run away screaming.

‘Why’d You Give That N***** Your Eraser?’: When Your 10-Year-Old Is Called Racial Slurs at School

Last night I asked the boys if they’d like to talk about the racial slurs they’ve been called, and how it makes them feel. They were excited to share–we all know it’s cathartic to be able to share something painful that’s happened–and I’m glad that they know that they don’t have to keep the racism they face a secret or act like it’s not a big deal–or that it’s something they have to be ashamed of.

I filmed this interview with my boys before they went to sleep and in it Mr. T, my eight-year-old details being called an African bitch at school, and he talks about the first time he remembers being called the n-word. Mr. O talked about this most recent incident in his school, and then both boys talked about how it feels to know that when kids say these things, you still have to be in the classroom with them and what they think schools should do.

I have cried every time I watch the six minutes of this clip. It hurts like nothing else to know that children think it’s OK to call other children dehumanizing names that are steeped in the sickness of this nation’s racism.

thanks for making this, super-eklectic1

I don’t wanna hear a SINGLE white person demanding to be educated now. This shit is here, on tumblr, under the RACISM 101 tag. If your ass can’t be bothered to take the time to check this shit out, you can’t be mad that your ass is being called racist.
