Disabled Person: I canât do this.
Ableist: Yes you can. Quit using your disability as an excuse. The only disability in life is a bad attitude.
Disabled Person: I can do this.
Ableist: Then youâre not really disabled. Youâre just faking, which is offensive to actual disabled people.
What âevery white person is racistâ means
Everytime I see a post of âyou canât be white and not be racistâ or something along those lines, thereâs always a white person jumping in saying âiâm white and iâm not racist, you saying that is racistâ and hereâs the thing:
YES. In the USA specifically you cannot be white and not be racist. Why? Because in USA history white people have opressed black people and they have built a system in which they are benefited from their status as white folk.
So you may not consider yourself racist, and maybe youâre not, in the sense that youâre not hateful, or pro-salvery or part of the KKK - but you benefit from the systematic racism in your country. If you donât recognize your privilege and actively try to deconstruct that system that benefits you while giving black folks the shorthand you are being racist cause youâre enabling that systematic racism - and because if youâre aware that you benefit from it and you donât want to tackle it and deconstruct it is because you donât want to lose that privilege. So, yes, it is racist. That makes you racist.
Plus, segregation was âabolishedâ in 1954 - 66 years ago, your grandparents and your parents were alive and learned the segregation way, you probably have been subconciously taught racism while you grow. Maybe little comments here and there, maybe youâve been taught to not trust a black person when they come to your home, or you have been taught to lock your car doors when youâre inside and a black person passes by. Keep in mind these arent taught in a verbal way, this are little reaction-habits that are learned subconciously. So yeah, you are most probaly racist in one way or another. The same way all men are sexist, one way or another.
My dad for example, he doesnât consider himself sexist, and most people wouldnât either, he isnât violent, or actively treats women as a lesser kind BUT every time we talk about celebrities his only focus is on the physical attraction of the female celebrities, ive hear him say many times âsheâs not pretty enough to play that roleâ, while his focus on the male ones are about talents and scores and awards and stuff. Those are sexist comments, that is a very sexist pov to look at celebs, so yes, he is sexist.
THIS is what people need to understand, being racist, sexist, lgbtqphobe doesnt always present itself in an ugly oppressive agressive âim better than you and you dont deserve human rightsâ kind of way, sometimes its subtler and unintentional, and thatâs where its dangerous cause most of this people really think they arent like that and when it gets pointed out they get defensive. They take pride in something they think they are, but arent willing to listen and grow.
; this seems to be a misconception so:
; pro-para does not mean pro-c !!
pt: pro-para does not mean pro-c :end pt
; there's a HUGE difference between the two and it's infuriating that people don't bother to learn that. Pro-para essentially means you don't hold ableist ideologies against paraphiliac disorders and you believe not all paraphiles are inherently abusive, etc. Plus believe they should be allowed to exist in society safely. ( which is TRUE !! Paraphiliac disorders are categorized by recurrent and intense sexually arousing fantasies / urges etc that are immoral or distressing involving things such as children, non-consenting adults, animals, etc. They are psychiatric disorders and therapy is recommended in situations where it's uncontrollable / is a danger to yourself or others. ) Pro-CONTACT is what you should avoid, pro-c is believing it's okay for paraphiles to act immorally / illegally relating to their disorder and is anti-recovery since it denies the necessity of therapy / recovery in instances of being in harm of oneself or others. You can be pro-para and not be pro-contact. It's important to be pro-para and understand what such disorders really are if we want to properly destigmatize psychiatric disorders and generally un-normalize ableism.
Making Fiends is a Cartoon about two girls who misunderstand each other, not a cartoon about two Lesbian Autistic girls ( i do not think Vendetta Vladimira and Charlotte Charlston are Lesbians, for me, they are Bissexuals but they're discover this in the adulthood, and for me Vendetta is Autistic), which it is very offensive, considering the fact that the son of a bitch, who I don't need to say who he is because everyone already knows, is a harasser, racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, zoophile, pedophile and a hypocrite who made some humanshit whining about someones who criticize him for his sinful actions.
