THANK YOU. I'm tired of feeling hated for something I can't control. Yes, I realize I am privileged and I'm thankful everyday for that, but I'm not going to feel guilty for something I didn't do. I had a friend who would get mad anytime I was upset about something because I "had no right to complain". My problems are still problems and telling me I can't be sad because others have it worse is that same as saying I can't be happy because someone else is happier.
You have no idea how they have it. And really, just because they believe they shouldn't feel bad for something they didn't do they don't have any empathy ?
I'm white, in my schoosl I was one of the poorest kids. Most of the kids there were black and you would always see the guys with the latest Jordans and Beats and the girls with brand names like Gucci and it was a public school. I was constantly teased and harassed for having light skin and bullied so much and I still have depression and self image issues.
But hey, that's just me certainly living my privilege up. Thank you therza for making me see that white people don't have it rough.
You're right isn't this black oppression just so terrible? Praying you don't get lynched your situation sounds so scary! Tears for all you poor, poor white kids ;(

Its not a contest. No one is saying one group's oppression negates the other group's oppression. But a lot of cis white males are considered trash and treated as such because of what a small portion of their group has done. Sorry to say, not only black people experience racism. I once dated a guy who was from Saudi Arabia and we broke up because he refused to let his friends or family know that he was dating a white girl. But switch those races and people would lose their shit

therza - I hate to say this, but I think you might be racist.
They never said anything about reverse racism. Just racism.
Power and privilege have nothing to fmdo with racism. It's simply treating someone differently because of their race/ethnicity and you're being rude to people based solely on their skin color, which makes you racist.
Why the fuck is "reverse racism" a thing? What does that even mean? You can be racist against black people, white people, Hispanic people, Asian people, etc. It doesn't matter what race they are, if you're mean to someone, make a derogatory crack at them, or just all around hate them in general because of their race, that is being racist.
And you're either ignorant, or a troll. Personally, I'm going for the latter but whatever the case, I think time would best be spent ignoring your comments.
tbh if you heard the word cracker on tv as slang or a white thug dickhead was murdered by a black cop you wouldn't really see us in the streets lying down or in buckets with cement in the middle of a daMN FUCKING HIGHWAY
Those "tumblr feminists" as you call them, are not real feminists. They can call themselves whatever they want but that's the opposite of what they are. I know for a fact that there are some actual feminists on tumblr but they get burried under all the misandrists.
Fuck you, you're blaming white people for oppression that their ancestors and a minority of current white people did/do, NOT the actual individuals themselves

By using them to claim you aren't racist is racist itself
Tumblr Feminists: UMMMMmmm FEMINSIM IS THE EQUALITY FOR MEN AND WOMEN WE DON'T HATE MEN
