Racism goes both ways…
I feel that in our society, it is only allowed that African Americans can be victimized by racism.
ANYONE can be a victim of racism.
I hate seeing this white privilege shit, because where I live, thats just a shitty excuse for not taking responsibility for yourself.
I will say that, in some parts of the country, white privilege is totally legit, because some parts of the country are still very racist.
The only way to stop racism, is to stop giving it so much value. When you get offended by the word nigger, you’re only giving it that much more power.
I didn’t know what racism was until I moved in next to two black families. These people use to call me cracker, white trash, hillbilly, hick, even trailer trash hoe, and they told us that we should just move otherwise bad things were going to happen…….I was 9 years old. Who fucking does that to a 9 year old? I had no idea that there was such a difference between skin color until then. I use to never think about it as a difference. I didn’t know what the word nigger was, until they called each other that word. They killed my rabbit, they poisoned my dog…all because I was white…my skin color. There was no provocation on my families part to receive such hate like this. After a while my mom got tired of it and yelled back at them, and just for standing up for herself, they called her a racist…ain’t that fucked up.
So, don’t you dare tell me, that I have white privilege, because where I’m from, that doesn’t exist.
Don’t call me a racist either, if I’m not nice to you, it has nothing to do with the color of your skin.
To stop racism, you have to stop being racist. Stop pointing every god damn thing out like the world is against you just because you’re black. Take responsibility for your actions, do the right thing, and be nice to people that do you no wrong regardless of skin color.
Let me start off by saying no because racism does not go both ways and to even thinking of putting white problems on par with the discrimination people of color face is insulting, but not nearly as insulting as the rest of your post. White privilege in this country exists regardless of which state you are from, or what part in your town because white people will always be treated as humans while people of color are still being beaten by police and denied jobs, but nice try.
“When you get offended by the word ‘nigger’, you are only giving it that much more power” I cannot even begin to explain to you just how fucked up this is and how wrong you are… YOU ARE WRONG! Words are like tools in many ways, one of these ways is using them as a tool to aid in the oppression of an entire race of people. They called you are cracker? You mean they referred to you using the word from a time when whites owned land and people? Poor you. I’ll call you a racist, because I call it as I see it and what you just said was racist whether or not you can see that through all of your white tears.
