I will always reblog this when I can.

That’s right GOP, keep demeaning the women and we will release the Clinton!

Racism: Reaction
racismschool:
Here is a handy dandy guide to let you know why your reaction to being called a racist is as much of a tell tale sign of your true self as anything else you’ve previously said to warrant the accusation.
A True NON-Racist’s Reaction to Being Called a Racist:
“Why would you call me that? What did I do to make you think that? Please tell me so I know not to make that mistake...

I am not on the 'Mary Poppins is a Time Lord'...
Personality-wise, she is quite Doctorish. However! Her reflection in the mirror talks to her. She has medicine that pours out a different flavour each time. She can jump into paintings and explore worlds within them. She can float on the ceiling. She can clean rooms by clicking her fingers and making objects move on their own. She flies to places via umbrella.
She is clearly a Ravenclaw sent to...

“POC generalize white people, white people feel sad.

– ai-yo regarding the death of Trayvon Martin, shot and killed by his White Neighbor while coming back from the store.
And this shit is real. This is the reality. There’s no getting around it.

amantesuntamentes:
i do not want to see my country turned into a war zone while they look for this man who is no longer there and has not been for years. Uganda is actually in a relatively peaceful state right now compared to years before. not when it comes to poverty, health care, and things like that but at least when it comes to war. if people want to help they need to invest in our health...

Prejudice: [PoC calls white person a cracker].
Racism: Two centuries of PoC being stolen from their homelands, driven out of their native lands, tricked, raped, infected with disease, and otherwise downtrodden so as to remove them from any chance of being the dominant race.
Prejudice: [PoC gives a white person a nickname playing on the fact that they're white].
Racism: PoC must, from the moment they realize a baby is on the way, worry about whether giving a child a name reflecting their heritage will affect their chances at a good life in the future. Hint: it will.
Not racism: Calling out that slavery lasted for two centuries, and civil rights did not happen for PoC until the 20th Century (you know, the century which only ended TWELVE YEARS AGO).
Racism: We should not talk about it, because it makes [non-PoC] feel bad.
Not racism: A non-PoC actor can get pretty much any role s/he wnats.
Racism: ... including roles that were originally written as PoC. PoC actors must settle for roles making them servants, sassy women, jive turkey men, criminals, drug addicts, or abused downtrodden prostitutes, the better to reinforce the negative mental image of PoC in the minds of the zeitgeist, and hold up the excuse that "they bring it on themselves".
Not Racism: Flattering pictures of people used to represent them on the web.
Racism: Flattering pictures of Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachman. But the most unflattering pic available of Michelle Obama is used for the same article.
Not Racism: Articles about women's features.
Racism: Article purporting to have scientific "proof" that Black women are uglier than women of any other race.
Not Racism: America is where everyone is supposed to have equal chance.
Racism: Equal chance? Freed slaves were lucky if they got 40 Acres and a Mule, after working for free for generations for people who are now wealthy and offered no other reparations.
Not Racism: Irish History Month, Italian History Month, French History Month, German History Month, etc. All of which would, technically, qualify, btw, as White History Months.
Racism: It's not Cameroon History Month, Nigerian History Month, Egyptian History Month, Zimbabwean History Month, Zaire History Month, Somalian History Month, etc. It's BLACK History Month. Doesn't matter what country in Africa you come from. If you're Black you just all get lumped in together.
Not Racism: PoC describe their experiences.
Racism: Non-PoC interrupt, derail, silence, mock, deride, or cite "oversensitivity" because it makes them feel uncomfortable to know that PoC have endured this, and to have to acknowledge their privilege -- and their responsibility to do something about it if they really are as anti-racist as they profess.
...add your own examples.

It’s International Women’s Day, and in less than a week, Texas Governor Rick Perry will end the Women’s Health Program, effectively cutting 130,000 Texan women off from important medical services, in an effort to stick it to Planned Parenthood and the federal government.

How is this helping any of those fetuses this country is so obsessed with? Abortions performed due to prenatal issues aren’t done for fun or because the woman quite simply doesn’t want to carry the fetus to full-term. These abortions are performed to save the woman’s life or to not force her to carry a fetus to full-term that’s going to die anyway. This is a genius anti-life...

YES, I am criticizing a system that privileges white, male, cisgendered, heterosexual, Christian, able-bodied people, and a few other categories I may forget. And class. Class is what counts.
NO, I am not hating on white people. I pass as white. I benefit from the skin privilege and let me tell you: the liberty to choose if I’m going to give myself away or not at my leisure when I’m...
