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?

Funny & Stupid Customer Stories – Not Always Right » Ironing Out Some Laundry Stereotypes

(I am sitting in a laundromat, waiting for my laundry. An irate customer approaches me while I am reading a book.)

Customer: “Can you help?”

Me: “Excuse me?”

Customer: “Can you help me with this machine? I don’t think it’s working properly.”

Me: “I can take a look, but I don’t know too much about these things.”

Customer: *exasperated* “How is it that you don’t know how these machines work? What kind of lazy employee are you? You just sit here reading a book when customers are struggling?”

Me: “Ma’am, I’m just trying to do my laundry like you are.”

Customer: “This is the worst experience I’ve ever had here! Where are your parents? I need to complain to them.”

Me: “Ma’am, I’m 25 years old and my Korean parents live in New Jersey. There is a nice Chinese family that owns this business. They might be able to help you better than I can.”

Customer: “But don’t you all know how to fix these things?”
