What if it wasn’t a white character being changed to black? What if Cyborg were played by a white man? What about Black Panther? Falcon? Luke Cage?
Are you folks seriously going to argue that you wouldn’t hop on your tumblrs and cry racism if a studio had the audacity to do that?
A PoC can walk up to me and say, “I don’t like you because you’re white,” and that’s not racist.
I can walk up to a man and say, “I don’t like you because you’re a man,” and that’s not sexist.
A person in the lower class can walk up to me and say, “I don’t like you because you have more money that I do,” and that’s not classist.
Well, I’m sure glad that was all clarified for me; it all makes sense now!
Indeed. Those social justice wieners are some pretty brilliant people!
Black female student punches white professor and declares her hatred for white people for what they did to her ancestors.
Noooo black people can’t be racist.
I got a little chuckle when she said: “You !@#$ing raped my ancestors!”
Why? Because there are a lot of folks on tumblr who think I, as a white guy, should feel some kind of direct responsibility for the crimes of my ancestors and demonstrate a level of deferential respect to black folks regardless of the garbage that they post on their blogs.
To be fair, any ideology, creed, or school of thought has its crackpots. And this is certainly one of them, but yes Draken, black people are also capable of racism and hate crime. (Though a good portion of tumblr users will vehemently deny it anyway.)
I’d like to see what caused this person to flip out.
Wrong.
Correct translation: I’m not going to be an asshole to you because of your skin pigmentation. (Or lack thereof.)
Eh, I don’t think I agree with this.
I mean, are you going to walk up to a black person who is exclusively attracted to black people and call them a racist? Whenever I see this critique, it’s directed at white people, but the nonsense of it becomes pretty plain once you flip the script.
Things I learned from this post;
- Wishing death on people is a-okay if you’re a PoC
- Objection and outcry to having death wished upon you is terrible and threatening
That is some serious, serious white guilt. It always makes me chuckle how the possession of a darker skin tone makes the most inappropriate, outrageous, and plainly moronic behavior completely acceptable on Tumblr.
Happy Halloween, everyone! Have this joke, courtesy of a friend of mine.
Why did the evil spirit get hired instead of the witch, even though both were equally qualified for the job?
Because, he had wight privilege.
Hahahahahaha!!!
And, I have to ask, just how fucked up does someone have to be to light themselves on fire AND stoke the fires of racial hatred by blaming it on nonexistent white perpetrators?
I hope this little stunt of hers didn’t prevent the police or ambulance services from helping people with actual crimes.
I also hope this lady gets some serious therapy.
another white oppressor, justly put in their place. This will teach naive teens to hold up signs with well intentioned meanings. The crusade for social justice marches onward.
what did the sign say?
basically the equivalent of a KKK manifesto: “skin color doesn’t matter”.
Betcha race matters to them now, and not in a good or respectful way, but rather in a suspicious and hostile way. Nice job! Social Justice is really moving forward with making the world more divisive.
In what universe does saying “Skin color doesn’t matter” an equivalence of KKK beliefs? I guarantee you this person was simply saying that skin color does not affect how positively or negatively they treat people.
Think about that, millions of people during the Civil Rights era fighting to end abuses against black people, and and to win basic fundamental rights (like voting, adoption, and marriage) yet somehow these people did not have souls, and the hateful white supremacists who forced this struggle did.
How does that make any sense at all?
