PHALLIC RAGE: Yeah, I have No Tolerance for Ignorance either.

daniellemertina:

It’s so weird that you followed me for so long (someone that writes more personal posts about race than anybody I’ve seen on Tumblr & does it without cussing or vitriolic language) and you still got nothing out of it except to tell me that my experiences with racism are made up in my head essentially, because I’m creating a self-fulfilling prophesy.

No, I’m 19. I’ve been alive and aware for those 19 years. And I’ve seen and experienced tons of racism. You have no idea what that is like to have to deal with racism everyday and figure out how you’re not going to turn bitter and hateful towards people who CONTINUALLY negate your worth and humanity…

You say that you don’t look down at white people, but in the same breath you accuse all of them of being ignorant. Your plight will not be taken seriously unless you recognize your own racism and work against it. I would also suggest educating yourself on proper English and grammar. You don’t want people to think of you as an ignorant person, so try not sounding like one. 

STOP IT.

You’re derailing. 

And if you want to lecture someone on their grammar, at least make sure you have your own ducks in their respective rows first. Your reading comprehension is absolutely abysmal if instead of the main topic and relevant details of the OP’s post, all you’re focusing on is her use of “proper English”.

And FYI, “proper” English and its respective grammatical rules vary by location and time period. I speak 3 languages and had no problem understanding her, so what’s your excuse?

Basically a blog dealing with racial issues, mostly in America but with some posts about other countries as well. While there will be many posts dealing with the black/white binary, I also hope to shed much focus on race issues concerning First Peoples, Latinos, Middle Easterners, South Asians, East Asians, Southeast Asians, people who are bi or multiracial, and any other minority groups I may have forgotten to mention.
