Anti Racist - Tumblr Posts

radical feminism is inherently terfism (which is inherently racism). you cant think all men are biologically predatory and support trans women. cause trans women still have the "evil male chemicals" you hate so much. also a lot of men arent cishet or white so therefore they can be targeted by bigots, despite you claiming all men have privilege. anyways I hate radfems.

Unfortunately in our current society antisemitism is still very much alive. It is uncomfortable to come to terms with the fact that NAZI’s are still a thing and have been a thing since the 1930′s. They never left. However NAZI’s aren’t the only form of antisemitism but casual and hidden antisemitism often lead to Nazism or is crypto-Nazism. Something that annoys me quite a lot and are also rather antisemitic are conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories often talk about “elites” which is often used as a substitute for CEOs and corrupt government officials however “elites” is also used as a dog whistle for Jewish people by NAZI’s and other far-right people. If you watched a lot of conspiracy videos at one point I recommend that you make sure that you haven't picked up any antisemitic or racist opinions, even if they weren't openly antisemitic or racist it can still influence the way you think.

If someone said that to me they'd be on the floor.

She didn’t even use “raunchy” in the right context tf?

If there was never such a thing as a racial hierarchy or white supremacy, race wouldn't exist at all. Historically, the social construction of race emerged as a tool for colonisers to justify viewing certain groups as inferior, dehumanising them, and providing a pretext for committing unforgivable crimes without consequences. The existence of race was purely made to oppress, and so if oppression didn't exist against race in the first place, race wouldn't exist.

By being transracial, you push the idea that race does exist as a tangible and valid construct and, as a result, is something that can be transitioned to. As well as this, you ignore a fundamental part of the existence of race, which is the oppression or privileges' one gains as a result of their race, which you have never experienced. At the end of the day, race is centered around oppression. Generally, transition for transracial people looks like appropriation of culture, which is not a fundamental part of race, and doing racially insensitive things such as painting your skin darker, which is considered black face. As well as this, being transracial and transitioning pushes against race being phased out of society, which is what we want, as it actually still serves no purpose but to point out the oppressed and oppressors'. In addition to all of this, by labelling yourselves as "Trans" you insinuate that being transgender and transracial are two equally valid ideas and come hand in hand when they are two completely different structures that work in to different ways.

Transphobia, cisnormativity and gender binary: The racism behind the anti-transness, specially nonbinary transness.

If you think for a second, the idea of the cisnormative gender binary are completely eurocentric: Not only because of the many amerindigenous communities who have Two-Spirits as a third gender, because there are many non white/non european ethnic groups who have, not only three, but more than three gender identities. Ethnic groups that existed for centuries, if not for millennias!

This means that gender binary, transphobia and cisnormativity are completely eurocentric. Oh, wait! Even better yet: transphobia, cisnormativity and gender binary are completely racist.

Observe how transphobes commonly mock and demonize trans people. How do you think these mfs would react to cultures and ethnic groups who don't have, nor accept the cisnormative gender binary? It's obvious that they'd react just like their colonizer ancestors; by demonizing and demoralizing these cultures to a whole.

Gender binary and cisnormativity have an important role on treating non white cultures as inferior. Rejecting gender as a social phenomenon = rejecting gender as a cultural phenomenon.

If you think that trans people are mentally ill, delusional or disgusting, you are obviously going to think these cultures are inferior for having more than 2 genders.

That is the reason why being anti-trans and a person of colour at the same time is such a shot on your own feet. You are a descendant of these people, in the end, you are going to get demonized altogether. So don't try to assimilate to think you are accepted.

Long story short: Accepting the gender binary, cisnormativity and/or being a transphobe in general is racism. Because you're not only demonizing random people, you are going to be demonizing cultures also.

This is basically the reason why Elvis Presley is known as the king of rock n roll. And the reason why a white drag queen watered the cultural appropriation discourse to capitalism (Rita, I know your channel is about anticapitalism, but seriously, it's obvious that the trancista was willing to braid a white girl, she needs money! But you missed the whole point of cultural appropriation that is a person from a culture using, many times w/o any credit, an item from another culture as an accessory, and, 99% of the time, getting praised, while the people from the original culture get bashed for it.). It makes me tired, tbh.

This has been stuck in my head for months now and I need to express how I feel about it. I feel like white people grew up with a culture that has FOR YEARS (dating back to colonization) told them it’s okay for them to change the original meaning of things to make it more palatable or more relatable to them and they reinforce that culture with toxic positivity so if you try and criticize it or them you seem like the bad guy. For example; being punk. Punk ideologies revolve around being anti-capitalist, anti-racist, saying fuck the system, etc. Then you have white people saying how it’s actually punk to stan Taylor Swift, how you can be right wing and still be punk, having a battle vest with corporation logo patches on it is punk.

Like you cannot just change the meaning of things and speak over people to make something fit your agenda. If the original thing is not for you and a group of people are telling you: “Hey what you’re doing is not right and erasing the OG meaning. Here are alternatives for you.” Respect that and move on.

Me: Bro, ao3 has a bunch of racism can cannot be easily escaped from and the fact that they kicked out someone for trying to get rid of it doesn't help.

*Kicks the door ultra aggressively.* YOU! 🫵🏽 Yes, you, soldier of love: Michael Jackson didn't write Man In The Mirror, Heal The World, They Don't Care About Us and the entire HIStory album for you to thirst over those Ferrero Rocher sponsorship pants! Go politicize yourself, NOW!

I just stopped to think, and noticed how my brother associates every music style that doesn't look like the worship songs my family listens on a daily (which are mostly white conded) as bad, mundane or demonic. For example, a few months ago me, my dad and my brother were on the balcony of our home and some neighbours were playing a reggae and my brother noticed my dad enjoying it and he said something along the lines of “ewewwwwwwwrefrr, you like world music!” and our dad had to explain it was a christian reggae. If dad didn't clarify the situation, he'd continue to demonize the reggae for literally being a reggae.

can we talk about how being so pants-shittingly terrified of Doing A Racism you freeze up or Get Weird around anyone a shade darker than the sugar in your cupboard or with an accent is effectively the same as being scared of brown people and doesn't make you much better than Sandra Lilly Smith from the suburbs who clings her purse when a black guy gets on the elevator with her

The fact that racists forcibly miscegenated the Brazilian population, as a attempt to make us a white country, just to say, in the next second, that the mixture of races, that is an obvious result of this method of eugenics, is the origin of “our inferiority and ignorance” would be hilarious if it wasn't fucking tragic.

Reverse Racism; A much needed article/informative post, because if I see another racially illiterate mofo watering down racism to “just another discrimination, I'm gonna fucking combust.

Main source is The Conversation's article on this topic. Content warning for mentioning of discrimination and neo-nazism.

Ah, yes. Racism, that infamous word. This important word needed to help us understand the social relations that are affected with this element.

It is a very great watershed, indeed. Specially because of one controversial topic: Reverse Racism. But what is reverse racism, after all?

Reverse racism is the idea that racism can happen to white people and that white people can/are affected by racist violence by (normally) non-white people. In other words, a myth.

“But Angelle, ain't racism discrimination based on race? Wouldn't that include discrimination against white people as well?” Great question, little grasshopper, but this definition is actually wrong.

Sure, racism does involve a huge discrimination element, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The correct definition for racism is Prejudice + Power. More specifically, institutional power. Racism is, at it's core, an institution and an structure, made to protect and put white people at advantage.

And this is basically it. Reverse racism does not exist, and if you believe it does, you are either naïve and racially illiterate, at best, or a whole white supremacist, at worst.

Iiihh, are ya surprised? Well, don't be, because this rethoric of anti-white racism is a racist and a neo-nazi belief. Many white supremacists across the world use phrases like “white lives matter”, “all lives matter” (that one a little bit tricky, because all lives indeed matter; but here's the thing, that is what the anti racist movement is here for! And the women's liberation movement! And the mogai activism! The “all lives matter” does nothing but take the focus away from minorities subtly, so it's real important to pay attention.), “It's ok to be white”, and nanananana, and this kind of shenanigans. Many of them are also dog whistles (see Anti Defamation League's dog whistles glossary for more information).

In conclusion, reverse racism does not exist. It's just another racist rethoric, and y'all need to learn to listen to people of colour when we say something is bullshit. Thank you for coming to my ted talk and have a great day.

EM !! i saw a tiktok where a lady was talking about how white feminists only talked about their problems as a women but never address the fact that their also white.

i saw a comment that said something along the lines of ‘ yes , you can be lesbian , a woman living in america and a part of the 97% , i’m not invalidating any of ur problems at all but PLEASE understand that if you were a woc or poc these problems would be completely different. ‘

I JUST WANTED UR OPINION WHAT DO WE THINK BECAUSE IM HAVING A CONFUSING TIME TRYING TO MAKE AN OPINION AND I NEED UR SMART ASS TO HELP TYTY

ilysm <3

OK SOOOO I realized that I have yet to talk about this issue and your question has given me the opportunity to do this.... And I sincerely apologize to the AAPI community for not making a post about this issues sooner and educating my followers. I need to do better and I realize that now. <3

The fact that you actually brought this up is so ironic for me because I just recently (like last week) went to a town hall/ forum at my university regarding AAPI hate crimes and just racism in general and what my school can do to make minority students (in this case specificially AAPI) feel more safe. 

My dean decided to speak and despite the conversation being about racism and AAPI experiences, she said that she could partially understand what they were going through because she had acknowledged her own biases against men...YES you read that right. My dean, a white woman (i say this because it provides context), decided to change the conversation to focus on her apparent sexism against women while we were talking about racism. One of the Asian students who had been doing the majority of the talking because once again, our dean was horribly unprepared to actually lead this discussion and it fell on said Asian student to basically lead this whole discussion while dealing with the stress of experiencing this himself. He actually had to remind HER that this was a discussion on racism that minorities and AAPIs face. 

Personally, as a WOC, I did understand where he was coming from but I also understood that while we shared similar experiences regarding racism, this whole discussion was not about black specific issues or about me, and my goal was simply to show that I, as a fellow person of color, supported him and his community. 

The main take away if you don’t read all of this (lol) is that you can’t talk over the most important voices surrounding these issues (rn AAPI). You actually have to listen to what they share even if it makes you uncomfortable, because imagine how they feel. Even though it might be hard for you to understand, imagine how scary it is to constantly worry about your grandparents, friends, and family going out to the store, or going on a walk, or getting home from work because there are crazy racist ignorant people out there who would throw acid on them, spit at them, beat them, KILL them for just looking the way they do. 

And to those of you out there that can sit in blissful ignorance, it must be nice, but you can’t do that anymore. If you consume asian culture whether it be anime, food, music, etc. you have a responsibility to support the AAPI community. Even if you don’t do any of those things, you as a morally sound person have a responsibility to support the AAPI community. 

AND SPECIFICALLY TO MY FELLOW BLACK PEOPLE: You have a responsibility to support the AAPI community. They supported us through BLM, they mourned the lives that were lost in our community at the hands of police brutality and racism. Now it’s our turn to do the same. 

We can’t invalidate other’s experiences because they make us uncomfortable; and please my non AAPI followers and anyone that reads this,  PLEASE PLEASE continue to amplify their voices, their stories, and their experiences.Continue to educate people on the harm that the “model minority” stereotype has against the AAPI community. Make a conscious effort to continue to educate yourself and those you interact with on these issues. 

Change rarely results from comfortable conversations.
