Not every white person is a racist, but the genius of racism is that you don’t have to participate to enjoy the spoils. If you’re white, you can be completely oblivious, passively accepting the status quo, and reap the rewards. —

—Mychal Denzel Smith, “White People Have to Give Up Racism” (via thenationmagazine)

A very good definition of privilege.

A fact that I only learned a few years ago… :/

Today has been one of those days where people on my dash that I thought were cool and/or that I respected are posting fucking bullshit. 

Current tally: one used “ghetto” as an adjective to describe something done last-minute and cheaply, another is being all “BUT BEYONCE’S WHITE CONTEMPORARIES GET JUST AS MUCH FLACK AS SHE DOES Y U PLAY THE RACE CARD”.

Lolno.

It’s not like I matter to them as a person or a follower, but I’m disappointed and angry. I’m not trying to be like ~give me a cookie I did the decent thing~, I’m just frustrated, and I don’t like seeing that shit anywhere, especially not my place of solitude. Racism /and/ classism and denying of racism, respectively, aren’t and shouldn’t be okay.

I commented to both of them, and then unfollowed, unfollowed, unfollowed.

I LOVE Jenny Holzer’s work, I have a shirt from her Protect, Protect show at the MCA in Chicago a few years back. “Protect me from what I want” indeed.

In the instances when POC say shit like ‘Oh I can’t stand white folk’ or ‘Damn white people’, they aren’t saying ‘Oh I think they are inferior, I want to humiliate them, abuse them, enslave them and wipe out their people!’, they’re saying ‘Damn, after a couple hundred years of white people thinking I’m inferior, humiliating me, abusing me, enslaving me, and trying to wipe out my people, I don’t wanna deal with them.’ The context is completely different. —
