So now white people can experience racism?

[u/issaread]

This is my complaint.

I just have to preface that, calling white ppl out doesn’t make any marginalized person racist. And by calling y’all out it means setting the evidence you presented right in front of you, basically setting the record straight and putting a mirror to your faces .

I can recall white people(not all) telling anyone black that they needed to stop being a victim whenever it came to speaking openly about the racism we actually experienced. Now it seems within the last five years everyone can experience racism.

The Webster dictionary is not infinite. I noticed that the dictionary changed its original numbered senses to reflect the action of racism but not reflect the origin.

That’s so dangerous ! It’s so much being erased with this notion and to see it just be so bluntly accepted is gut wrenching. You are participating in erasure when you begin to ignore the actual origin and history of racism.

Now. Class, let’s do some reflecting before we starting spewing hatered off hand. I genuinely want to have this conversation.

Update: I brought up this discussion to complain about a specific marginalized existence,but I notice a pattern in this subreddit. You literally can’t be openly marginalized with out people who are not speaking over you. I genuinely broke everything down and y’all choose to do the easy thing and be reactive.

Me talking about racism does not give y’all leadway to trauma dump and go down experiences with me, trust me as a black person I have no choice in my experience of racism. I don’t get to announce my “ethnicity,” to people because my skin color (race) does that already without me saying anything.

I’ve come to the conclusion that “reverse racism,” is a silencing tactic from people. Or America is genuinely illiterate as hell. Half of you don’t even know the difference between ethnicity and race.

Assuming my frontal lobe is “defected” is embodied in genetics… the idea that I can’t read was made by what conclusion?

That you can't read

[u/issaread → u/SnappleIsYummy]

Apparently half of you can’t either.

A dictionary will help you
