wtfmonie asked:

People can be racist towards white people though...

chescaleigh answered:

Yeeeeah but no. It is absolutely not possible to be racist towards white people. Can you be prejudice towards white people? Yes. Is being prejudice ok? No, not at all. No one should be treated differently or unfairly because of their race. But remember that prejudice in minorities against white people is generally in response to oppression. Whereas racism (which is created by white people and enforced on minorities) is a form of oppression. But think about it, if you’d been beaten down, raped and killed by white people for centuries, chances are you’d be a little skeptical of them too.

Now before you go running to your Oxford dictionary (lulz, wonder who wrote that…) to look up the definition of racism, lemme explain. Racism is not just someone being mean to you or calling you names. It’s not just a belief that one group is better than another, it’s an entire SYSTEM that supports the oppression of another group. Racism is a result of prejudice and POWER. Meaning that laws and societal norms are created by one group (ahem, white people) in order to enforce those prejudices onto an ENTIRE group (ahem people of color).

If someone is being mean to you just because you’re white, then they’re being an asshole. But they aren’t a racist asshole because society is not giving them a pass to be mean to you or treat you poorly because you’re white. Society is not rewarding their behavior or creating laws that hurt your quality of life just because you’re white.

Don’t feel bad though, I realize this is something a lot of white people struggle with because in their minds racism = being called cracker, getting beat up by a black person, being told you can’t dance or some black girl put gum in your hair and you had to get a pixie cut which ended up actually looking kinda cute. In reality racism means being denied a job interview because the name on your resume “sounds black”, being removed from school because your natural hair texture is deemed “distracting”, 100 times higher drug sentences for crack cocaine (which is commonly associated with poor black people) versus cocaine (which is commonly used by upper middle class white people), being stopped and frisked or worse KILLED on your way home because you “look suspicious” (ahem black) and so on and so on.

Hope this clears things up cause I’m really tired of explaining this!

To those who care.

So you’ve just ignored everything that PoC are telling you, and you don’t expect people to react negatively to that?

btw any of the “nice” comments you’re getting are from white people

yutaba

seriously? Why are you ignoring the things that the culturally oppressed minorities are trying to inform and educate you on? And then wondering why people are doing this. This is definitely the worst of white ignorance.

Leave this fucking girl alone. It’s her hair, let her do whatever she wants with it. ALL HAIR naturally dreads. “Rastafarians” didn’t ‘invent’ dreadlocks. Dreadlocks have literally been around since King Tut. Race has nothing to do with fucking hair. Seriously. Shut the fuck up you ignorant cunt. She didn’t do anything wrong, you stupid piece of shit.

yutaba

you reblogged it from me so you must be talking to me. King tut and his followers weren’t oppressed and abused for wearing their natural style of hair throughout history. WHITE PEOPLE PUTTING STEREOTYPES ON US FOR WEARING OUT NATURAL HAIR AND THEN INDULGING IN THE SAME CULTURE WITHOUT ANY OF THE REPERCUSSIONS SUCH AS - BEING ASSUMED TO BE A THEIF, A DRUG DEALER, A THUG ETC. IT WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER WEARING HER HAIR LIKE THAT. ITS DISGUSTING THAT YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR CULTURE AND NOT BE OPPRESSED THE SAME WAY WE ARE. JUST DISGUSTING. YOURE STEALING FROM US AND DONT EVEN REALIZE IT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE OPPRESSED.
proving-grounds808

DID THIS GIRL PERSONALLY COME ATTACK YOU OR MISTAKE YOU AS A DRUG DEALER? DID SHE PERSONALLY PUT A STEREOTYPE ON THE WAY YOU FUCKING WORE YOUR HAIR? DID SHE EVEN GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOUR FUCKING HAIR? NO, YOU PERSONALLY WERE THE ONE INSULTING AND ATTACKING HER. SHE DIDN’T FUCKING STEAL YOUR CULTURE. IF YOU HATE WHITE PEOPLE SO MUCH, WHY DON’T YOU GET OFF THE FUCKING COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET BECAUSE NEITHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS WERE INVENTED BY YOUR CULTURE SO MAYBE I SHOULD DEEM IT AS STEALING FROM WHITE PEOPLE, RIGHT? YOU DON’T SPEAK FOR AN ENTIRE CULTURE OR A RACE. YOUR ACTIONS AS AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD SPEAK FOR YOUR OWN DAMN SELF. ARE YOU SO FUCKING OPPRESSED THAT YOU CAN AFFORD INTERNET AND A COMPUTER?? WOW, YOU MUST HAVE IT HARD.

yutaba

you are so ignorant. Lol. You really can’t get through to some whites. Listen closely this time, She didn’t do any of that. But neither did 99% of all of the colored people who wear dreads, yet WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE JUDGED, ARRESTED, ACCUSED, AND FIRED for wearing them. White privilege is indulging in getting to wear the dreads, without having to deal with the backlash of stereotypes. If you really don’t understand that, you’re a white cishet who knows nothing about other cultures. So I can do no more for you and this is it then.

[[trigger warning: rape]]

In response to the Steubenville, Ohio teen rape case, West Virginia U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld is launching a program to teach high school athletes not to post evidence of rape online.

It’s called “Project Future,” and his goal is to teach teens how to avoid getting in trouble with the law by using cell phones, cameras, and social media “responsibly.” Instead of teaching teens not to rape, the U.S. Attorney wants to teach them not to get caught.

This is rape culture at work: The very people who are in charge of enforcing our laws look at a cruel, brutal attack on a young girl and think, “If only the teens hadn’t posted photographic evidence online.”

Calm down guys. It’s just a picture of new dreads and loose hair. It takes a while to lock up. It’s a process.

Your blatent cultural appropriation and disrespect now has your hair looking like a fucking rats nest with pencils and dust bunnies in it.

You got an ask telling you what the problem is, and you ignored it- classic caught white girl. “Its just a hairstyle I like!”

That shit is not doing it.

Reblogging this to explain why there are people of color upset about this hideous, hideous display:

I am a man of color who wears locs. My hair has been loc’d since 2005. It is clean, I maintain it monthly, moisturize it weekly and wash it as needed (this can be multiple times a month if I’m feeling athletic and trying to get my fitness on). It is loc’d to the root. I went through the early loc’ing phase when I was in college but AT NO POINT did it look dirty, unclean or unwashed.

DAILY I have people who try to connect the dots between my hair and my race and use that against me. I have people (COWORKERS) who’ve thought I was a drug dealer (I barely drink) and have people who classify me as a thug because of the way I wear the hair God gave me.

People (white) who come up to me and tell me how they”dreaded their hair for a few months but cut it out because it was so dirty, you know what I mean?” I wear my hair pulled back in a neat ponytail 97% of the time because I know all this hair makes white people nervous. Imagine if everytime someone saw you they assumed you were dirty, simply because they tried to do something you did (locs) and failed because their hair texture wasn’t correct, and instead of realizing that maybe it was just their situation, they’ve decided to apply that to everyone they meet.

And this nasty, unwashed young woman who feels the need to rebel against something (probably a shower) is sitting up proclaiming to the world that she has locs?

White privilege at work. Not only would I be unemployed if I had the audacity to traipse into my job looking like the inside of a drain, but I would immediately be classified as more of a thug than people already THINK I AM.

That’s why we’re upset. Black women can’t even wear their hair the way it grows out of their heads without it being a national scandal, yet this unwashed, unclean, clearly disturbed individual whose friends obviously have not informed her of the error of her ways will walk out in public and people will not only accept her, they will applaud her for being so different and unique.

Women like this are DIRECTLY affecting my life in that almost everyone I encounter has a friend or a cousin who is her and has given an entire LEGION of people a bad rap.

This is why cultural appropriation is harmful: when we do something and excel at it, are professional about it, look good doing it, it’s worthless. But throw it on a white body doing it the most lazy, bastardized, mediocre way ever and suddenly not only is it OK, it’s amazing! And so much better! 

*PS It really does look horrible.
