But seriously, I have some theories on why so many white people consider being called "white" is racist.
Or "reverse racist".
Including people who would (otherwise?) consider themselves "progressive".
1. It reminds them that theirs is just a point of view, not some magically "neutral" perspective.
2. It reminds them that they DON'T actually "know everything".
3. It reminds them that their viewpoint was shaped by a whole goddamned system of bullshit.
4. It reminds them that we are NOT having some weird "soul-to-soul" moment, and that I am a Black woman looking at them and placing them in a whole rolodex of bullshit, based on what they're ACTUALLY SAYING.
5. It makes them feel judged.
Thoughts?
Gergely Gulyás, Hungarian Minister of the Prime Minister's Office: "Anti-Hungarian, racially based revenge" that the EU suspended certain payouts to Hungary.
When asked to clarify (are Hungarians a race now??) he said that he meant a culturally based race involving belonging to the Hungarian nation.
What the florb!

When white people claim to be racially discriminated against, my first question is by who? The US is 5% asian, are asian's refusing you jobs? We have a 13% black population are they bullying you? 15% of people in power are women, are they prejudiced? Over 60% of politicians, professors, CEO's, Judges, Lawyers, are white men. Who exactly is discriminating against y'all? #reversediscrimination #reverseracism #racism #blackmastadon

Our fight is never over. A random white person insisted that gentrification is a racist term against white people. He condescendingly said it was socially unacceptable to be overtly racist by saying section 8 housing was unwanted because it's code for POC moving into the neighborhood, he then compared that to gentrification being a racist code for white people moving into the hood. These two things are not the same. #gentrification #redlining #whitesupremacy #reverseracism

@Birgitomo Humph. A hit dog will holler.
This is the video I always use when they bring out the “reverse racism” drivel: https://youtu.be/dw_mRaIHb-M

Not all white people are fat cigar smoking tech bros who don't have a clue what it is to be poor, battle weary.
Look at the history of Ireland.
The former Yugoslavia.
The crap going on in Ukraine.
You think those (white) people don't suffer?
#racism
also the black-on-black racism is awful look at the way the South African blacks terrorized the Zimbabwe blacks. Similar shit going on in Kenya. The Congo is one of the worst human rights disasters on the planet you don't even want to know about the way the soldiers rape the women.
The Rwanda genocide.
But oh, yeah, they blame white people.
And no I don't use the term " #reverseracism
because it is plain old black-on-white racism.
I just saw just this one. Like the #punchanazi one, he's again superb!
