White people get so angry at the phrase, “You
cannot be rac.ist towards white
people.”
I will never understand why.
Why are you so angry that you are being treated as actual human
beings? You are not reduced to caricatures, but portrayed as
characters. You are treated fairly, judged not by your skin
tone, but by the ways that you carry yourselves, by your
actions.
Why do you want to experience rac.ism so badly? It
is not fun to be mocked, dehumanized, attacked, killed,
incarcerated simply for daring to exist. It is not fun to know
nothing of your history or family because it was torn apart,
whether through distance or death. It is not fun to hear, at
every turn, comments reminding you of your lesser status as
humans.
Do you really want to turn on the tv, open a magazine, watch a
movie, play a video game, and not see yourself? Or, even
better, to only see yourself as a criminal, as a drunk, a
mocking stereotype, or as someone to be killed off? Or would
you rather see fleshed out, well-written characters with lives
and personalities and feelings? I know which I’d rather
pick.
If I were a white person, the phrase, “You cannot be
rac.ist towards white
people,” would be the best thing I could ever hear.
You don't need an oppressive system to be rac ist. If I said 'all white people are rac ist' or 'all white people should leave whatever country', it's rac ist. It's as easy to be rac ist to them as it is to any minority group, but if you've never been somewhere where whites ARE a minority group I guess it's not as obvious. Please go to a Pakistani or Central African airport, and tell me again how it's impossible to be rac ist to white people. -----
It might be because of Jallianwalah Bagh, because that will never,ever be forgiven.

isn't about having your feelings hurt, is the systematic oppression and belittlement of another race.
