Completely unprovoked, a high school counselor I DID NOT KNOW asked me if I’d beat the odds and graduate instead of ending up in a crack house. I was so stunned I didn’t know what to do other than stand there with my mouth open. He ended up getting fired but damn that random white man really did a number on me. 😅
just reminded me of how my white HS guidance counselor had to deal with a black kid and a middle eastern kid cus one did the whole “I can’t see you cus the lights are off” thing and the other flat out said “you have explosives in your backpack” and that’s when I realized racist jokes aren’t always jokes
That interaction was what got him fired because I was so shocked I was out of it my next class and my English teacher was one of those culturally sensitive white ladies that make a point to enunciate “African American” clearly. She asked me what happened and baby she wasn’t having ANY OF IT! That’s the kind of white people we deserve in the world.
Cry about it. You’re inferior. Racist people are literally proven in longitudinal data to have impaired cognitive function such that they struggle with complex and abstract concepts. To the point that lower cognitive ability in childhood is not only linked, but predictive of racist and bigoted ideology later in life. You’re racist, therefore inferior.
Ones looking into race and gender that try to suggest hierarchy there are pretty easy to breakdown into why they’re blatantly bad studies that are academically dishonest if that’s what you’re getting at. They were demolished decades ago for a reason and it’s easy to do with the most basic understanding of scientific literature. Those don’t compare at all to the substantial longitudinal data I’m referring to.
if you hear a story about a white guy being racist and immediately jump to "THIS GUYS CALLING ME RACIST" then you need to take a step back. you're either racist yourself or much too sensitive for this discussion. not every complaint is a personal attack. just because a minority says "[oppressive class] people did X/dont like Y group/ are bigoted", it doesn't mean they're saying everyone from that group of people is like that.
