reverse racism and why it isn't a thing; a thread

often people confuse racism and prejudices thinking they are the same thing, but they are not and here's the reason why:

racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
prejudice: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.

here's a little diagram to understand it in a simpler way:

indeed, racism got mixed with some of its effects and its aspects, making white people think that someone making prejudice is someone being racist towards them.

so can people of color be racist toward white people? no, because they've always been opressed, enslaved and colonized by them. and the oppressor CAN'T be oppressed.

why can't the oppressor be oppressed? because he has always taken advantage of his position and haven't experienced, job discrimination, police brutality (in this case) and discrimination as much as the oppressed have and still do.

but can people of color have prejudices about white people? yes they can, sometimes people tend to generalize, but that happens in both ways and it's still not racism, cause it isn't oppressing or taking advantage of any positions or powers.

do you still believe that reverse racism is a thing? think about how many times people of color recieved code words, jokes, have been fired, have been harrased and killed by police officers and discrimknated. i bet that you could give me A LOT of examples. now think about the

same things but towards white people. you can't give me any examples, right? you can only think of prejudices but not any kind of oppressions and we've already talked about this!

do you still believe in reverse racism? do me a favor by blocking and unfollowing me, then go educate yourself more.

you do not believe in reverse racism? you are doing great! and here are a couple of things that you can do to prove it, convince other people and help people that are suffering right now:

-educate yourself even more and other people. this is just a thread made by a teenager who runs a stan account, but out there you can find more precise articles, books, movies and documentaries, this way you can also inform people that think that reverse racism is a thing.

-donate to charities.
even one dollar could make a difference, if u can do it, do it now and don't hesitate, it will make you feel better and at the sime time it will give justice to people and help others.

-sign petitions, text and call certain numbers.
in case u can't donate or you've already donated and want to do more, there are a lot of petitions that you can sign. it takes 30 seconds and it could make a big difference!

-spread awarness:
send this, other threads, articles, videos and whatever you find to people, retweet them, quote them and let everyone acknowledge what is happening right now. sometimes things seem out of the world but they are the reality and people need to know it.

if u have any other points to add to this thread, feel free to share them.

i know that there are already a bunch of threads like this but since some people don't seem to understand it, i've decided to make one too.

any offensive, insulting, racist or hating comments will be hidden and reported while the person who wrote it will be blocked and reported.
