Enjoy the holiday season, see you in 2012!
starrydesu asked: I had heard of stuff like that but I never thought that race would be a problem in this neighborhood,(but I guess that's what everyone says). It's is weird to think that, even though I am mixed, with my father being African American/Cuban, I am treated different because my mother is white, and I live with her white family. honestly I' m a little creeped out that I grew up around...

I promise you that within the...

TO WHITE FEMINISTS: And White people in general
afronativepride3p:
TO WHITE FEMINISTS: your racism is showing when our anger makes you panic. even when we are not angry at you or your racism, but some simple, ordinary thing. when our expressed anger translates to you as a threat of violence, this is your unacknowledged fear of retribution or exposure and it is revealing your guilt

theblasianpersuasion:
I was checking out this blog called “Dumb Things White People say To Non-White People”, and at first it was entertaining, but then it just made me take a step back and think about how more often than not, the issue of race is inescapable, even worse is that it’s pretty much taken over an entire social networking/blogging website. I’m not trying to diminish the importance of...
Shit that was supposed to go on my personal blog… so let me tie this into racism somehow.
They just made fun of ‘reverse racism’ a few minutes ago in a very subtle yet hilarious way.

What do White Supremacists Think of Asians?
A Japanese American veteran of the Second World War told me a story that always stuck in my head. He said that while he was training in the South, he and his fellow Japanese American soldiers went into a restaurant to go to the bathroom. Of course, the bathrooms back then were segregated. Having grown up on the West Coast, he wasn’t...

My stance on racism.
supaslim:
Yes, it exists. No, it’s not cool.
Your race doesn’t matter. You can be black, white, Asian, ANYTHING. Somebody somewhere hates you for your skin color. And that’s just not right. But it isn’t the same as denial of rights, which is also wrong. It’s legal to be racist, it is illegal to deny rights. And while (in the United States) denial of rights almost exclusively happens to nonwhite...

The cost of racism →
I often think that one way racism does serious damage to white people is by stripping them of their empathy. Privilege has long taught them that white is right. White people are given constant, regular reinforcement that their opinions are superior. They receive validation for their viewpoints. And they typically live in environments in which they do not have to pay any attention to people...

Dear white adoptive parents... →
Once upon a time, dear adoptive parents, I expected better of you.
And I kept hoping beyond hope. Even as you walked past me. Because I am invisible in your eyes. As your grown children are invisible as well. Those angry adoptees will never be your children, because your kids will not be oversensitive or have a chip on their shoulder. They’ll be able to laugh it off. They’ll have a...

White American males constitute only 33% of the population. Yet, they occupy approximately:
80% of tenured positions in higher education
80% of the House of Representatives
80-85% of the U.S. Senate
92%of Forbes 400 executive CEO-level positions
90% of athletic team owners
97.7% of U.S. presidents
Well that’s obviously because white men are the hardest working...
teramerapyar:
Just witnessed something quite revolting. Two girls, one white and one black, and they’ve got the same hairstyle, kind of like a red and white frosted thingamabob. OK, I’m rubbish at describing hair but it’s clearly an unconventional styling. After they had both left, everyone is talking about them. Janine (the white girl): ‘oh she’s an art student, she’s so creative, she’s always...
An AfroMexican Population: Los Moscogos
larepublicadedet:
Los Moscogos is an African-Seminole descendant group who came from the US, settling in Mexico during the mid-1800s.
Saving this for future research/reading.
wildzebrakidzklub asked: oh my god, I'm so sorry; I just realized that the friend of mine that posted this only posted a portion of the article rather than the whole thing. I thought that it was speaking out against hipsters directly and making statements that didn't have any ground behind them
