Ahhh, reminds me of a rebloggy convo I had about a month or so ago.

This girl was talking about how people need to STFU bc white people have been mistreated too due to ethnic prejudices/conflicts. She had family lost/killed in the Yugoslavian conflict back in the 90’s. I tried saying that she can’t compare the history of her people to what blacks/Natives/etc have had to go through because, and I quote verbatim:

They are two different countries, with different cultures, and different histories. 

Somehow she missed my point and I guess thought I was saying what had happened wasn’t as bad, even though I never actually said that and I fully recognize the atrocities that have occurred, but in a different cultural context.

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

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?
