this is a quick thread where i, in the nicest way i can, try to explain something that a lot of people could attack me for, so if you& #39;re easily upset about the "reverse racism" and whether or not it& #39;s real, please stop reading now.
some people confuse racism with the history of racism and it& #39;s really frustrating. history of racism is what was. racism itself is in the present. understand that, just because someone& #39;s ancestors didn& #39;t go through shit doesn& #39;t mean they can& #39;t. please.
a lot of people seem to think of racism today as racism of the past. yes, black people were slaves and k*lled and so many bad things happened to them for centuries. but listen to me: we are kind of equal now. black people have a right to exist and voice themselves.
black people mostly have full human rights now. there will always be assholes, no matter what, and i sincerely apologise about the white people who still think like that. i am a fighter for equality, and will become a true fighter when i& #39;m a grown adult, but for now, here& #39;s this:
historically speaking, & #39;reverse racism& #39; will never be the same as true racism. but consistently putting all your fights into the history of racism isn& #39;t gonna get you anywhere. look at us. we& #39;re equal for the most part. so why is a white person saying "i hate black people"
so much worse than a black person saying "i hate white people"? if you stop talking about history of racism and think of racism in the present world, both sides are a person saying they hate someone different than them. now, i am white, yes. and you might laugh at this thread
because of it. well, okay. i deserve it. i have to say this though. just because one comes from a long history and the other doesn& #39;t, it doesn& #39;t make any of them less valid in the present. i& #39;m absolutely not saying & #39;reverse racism& #39; is as bad as the other but in a way, it& #39;s real.
