This is like when me and my white soon-to-be husband were looking for places. I’d call up and they’d say, “Come on down! Get an application!”. Because I don’t “sound” black.
Then I’d walk in 2 minutes later and...

so if
modern clown makeup is rooted in blackface/racist caricatures of black people
and one potential psychological explanation for why clowns are so scary is that they seem “less than human”
what the fuck does that say
Oh dear god.

Dear white people

You are not a victim of racism
You have never been a victim
You will most likely never be a victim of racism

“if i’m a person of color, i’m allowed to hate white people!!!!’
“if i’m gay, i’m allowed to hate straight people!!!!”
“if i’m a woman, i’m allowed to hate men!!!”
“if i’m trans*, i’m allowed to hate cis people!!!”
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HATE YOUR OPPRESSORS
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HATE PEOPLE WHO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS, ABUSE, AND KILL YOU
GODDAMN HOW IS THAT A HARD...
withquestionablewit:
Being queer doesn’t excuse you from privilege. You can be a white queer racist, a queer male misogynist, a cis queer trans*phobe, a wealthy queer classist, or any number of other oppressive things and the sooner you educate yourself to this the better off our whole community will be, because contrary to media depiction, queer people aren’t all white middle-class gay men!
bitchouttahell:
i don’t hate you bc you’re white i hate you bc being white has blinded you and you have been taught to be a racist piece of shit and then you expect me to fix it for you

Entertainment Weekly: Bruno Mars Says His First #1... →
rhapsodyincolour:
Three years ago, Bruno Mars became a worldwide superstar with a string of smash hits. But before that, he struggled for years to make it, and reveals that one of the barriers to his becoming a pop star was his race.
Bruno is Puerto Rican, Jewish and Filipino. In the cover story of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, he says that when he and his songwriting partners came...
so lemme get this straight
slay-z:
white people talking about race = progressive
black people talking about race = race baiting
the-uncensored-she:
White people hate Kanye West because he incorporates the ugly reality of being Black in Amerikkka within his lyrics. White “feminists” are pissed that Beyonce won’t let them— snorts— run her career and public image. Notice a pattern here? Black celebrities aren’t allowed to run their own damn shows without white approval…and whining.
White People: Let's oppress and kill you for wearing things sacred to your culture then try to erase your culture then act like we're entitled to wear those things we oppressed and killed you for.
..but the Solidarity!
Black Women: Black men need to do better.
Black Men: What is driving us apart? We need to stick together!
Black Women: Your misogyny is driving us apart.
Black Men: Was it the drug epidemics? Is it whitey? WHERE IS THE SOLIDARITY
Black Women: It's your misogyny.
Black Men: Maybe you hoes are hanging out with the wrong black men, because I love all my black queens.
Black Women: ....Holy shit what is wrong with you
Black Men: You are letting whitey tear us apart!
AND REPEAT
