Okay, I don’t usually chime in on racism issues, because there’s a great group of girls that I follow who quickly say what I want to, with much more eloquence than I. But this has really pissed me off tonight, that and,…

White pride has been used as a slogan to harass, terrorize, belittle, and harm non-white people mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. “Black power” and “Black pride” had to happen in order to give pride and power to a people who had NEITHER. It was stripped from them by YOUR ancestors, and by the way, you continue to benefit from the atrocities they committed. I notice you don’t mention that.

All of the ethnicities/cultures you listed have been treated unjustly and unfairly. Land and culture, pride, life, joy, the right TO BE A HUMAN BEING, all of that has, as some point, been taken from these cultures and ethnicities. The pride they display has stemmed from attempts at RECLAIMING what has been stolen.

Black history month? Really?! Are YOU people really angry that Black people get ONE month a year to “celebrate” the beautiful and illustrious history that cannot truly be taught within a month? You begrudge us ONE month out of TWELVE that children are taught about the greatness of YOUR ancestors?! Your ancestors who have been the oppressors, enslavers, and murderers? We constantly learn about the “greatness” of your ancestors, and other races/ethnicities/etc are just a footnote in the greatness of Whiteness. I hear this pathetic whining about Black history month from so many racists… It’s ridiculous.

You know what, you can be “proud to be white,” (I guess…) but how about learning compassion, consideration, and how about learning a little about WHITE PRIVILEGE while you’re at it?!

By the way, if you have to say, “I’m not racist, but” we can pretty much guarantee what comes next is going to be racist.
