125 notes June 21, 2012 I've seen variations of this same argument at least five times over the past couple of days, and I'm sick of it. White people, get your shit together, because you're giving me a bad reputation. But mostly because you're being whiney, ignorant, closed-minded fuckers who perpetuate racism. person of color:*offers interesting opinion* white person:*disagrees with that opinion in an unnecessarily racist way* person of color:hey you can totally disagree with me but that was pretty racist white person:no I'm allowed to have an opinion go away person of color:it's just that you're not listening to me and you're ignoring racism, that's white privilege white person:you just judged me because I'm white, that's racism, why can't you see it works both ways?!?! person of color:no, I just said you have white privilege, and no, racism doesn't work both ways. white person:YOU JUST REDEFINED RACISM, WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THAT, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ME TO RESPECT YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOING THE SAME EXACT THING THAT YOU CLAIM WHITE PEOPLE DO TO YOU, I JUST CAN'T HANDLE WHEN YOU SAY I'M A RACIST LET ME GO BACK TO SPREADING WHITENESS EVERYWHERE AND NOT KNOWING WHAT I SAY HURTS A TON OF PEOPLE person of color:okay now you're really pissing me off because-- white person:NO YOU'RE MEAN GO AWAAAAAYYY Filed under I can't handle this shit much longer racism racist
