Yeah, I guess I’m going to have to write this again.  Something that has been repeated by PoC and other magrinalized groups on here over and over…

Racism is NOT only about “getting your feelings hurt,” nor is any other oppression.

Personally, I didn’t decide to open up about my thoughts on racism just because my feelings were hurt by some white people one day.  There was a HELL of a lot more to it than that. Dealing with an entire system and culture that oppresses you, automatically judging you as inferior and white people as superior, is a whole other monster.

If you think racism is only about hurt feelings or feeling uncomfortable, you are SO wrong.

And if you think you can experience racism from PoC just because some PoC hurt your feelings one day, what you experienced is discomfort and hurt feelings.  NOT racism.

And if you were acting racist to begin with and a PoC told you to GTFO, then you didn’t deserve to feel comfortable or to have your feelings considered.  And, lol no, reacting to you being racist and oppressive is NOT racism itself.

So can you PLEASE fucking stop claiming that white people can experience racism just because PoC being mean to you and calling you “whitey” hurts your feelings?

When you deal with a whole system and culture that oppresses you because of your skin color, then you can talk.  But because white people benefit from that system, I don’t think you ever will.

So shut the fuck up.
