Anonymous asked: I'm not the last anon, but I'd like to thank you for writing that last paragraph about "do not troll the user". I've always had a real bad temper, and it's hard for me to not go over to that person on anon and chew them out, even though I know it won't have a good effect on either of us.

Anonymous asked: as a woman, i have seen my fair share of oppression from men which both my ancestors and i have experienced. this does not mean and equally would not make it right for me to reject trans*women. why is it any different for that man, who is clearly not giving out the same kind of racist message as some of the people you reblog?

“May I just point out that this “discrimination of Roma population” has also its other side, because a great many of them can’t be integrated into society since they refuse to work, make their children steal and misuse the social system on an unbelievable scale.”

Race and Wrestling
I was reading wrestling quotes on another Tumblr and saw this one by Mark Henry:
“Ernie Ladd told me when I first signed here that, as a black wrestler, I’m going to be judged by a different standard. Don’t mess it up for everybody else. He didn’t want a single African-American wrestler to screw up anything for the next generation. I’ve thought about things during...

carakalikimaka asked: What do you think about the Morgan Freeman video going around about Black History Month? I'm seeing it everywhere, and at least from looking at the icons of people posting it, it seems like only white people are spreading it around.

So I have an honest question, that I was thinking about today when I was leaving my school. Putting this in submission because it’s too long for the ask box!
Our school’s mascot is a Native American Indian, because in our state Ute tribes, among others(though I will admit I don’t know a lot about the subject) used to live here. I’d come across a couple blogs the other day,...

Anonymous asked: i'm confused then. someone with passing privilage can experience racism, right?

Anonymous asked: would you consider it racist if aboriginal and/or non-aboriginals discrimated against someone of metis ancestry who has passing privilage?
So...
In an amazing turn of events I manged to delete all my asks. I was just trying to get rid of the ones on my personal (along side the ghost message.)
I’ve not deleted any submissions but if you had any questions you wanted me to answer you should resend them.
It didn’t even get rid of my ghost message, damn it.
Racism Is Boring.
noimnother:
Ever since that YouTube video of the racist tram woman was released a few months ago, the press and gov’t keep going on and on about racism, all of a sudden there’s a bloody racism story every other day in my papers and on my TV, therefore, I have concluded the press and gov’t just want us all to freak the fuck out, get more racist and turn on each other. Why is everyone buying...

getting tired of my stuff getting taken out of context.
how was it taken out of context?
when I said “quit talking about it” I was talking about race in general, not racist people or racism. and my point about people being called white/black is that if a black person is going to called a white person “white” then it should be okay...

I am soooo tired of hearing about how racist the world is. I guess that’s what happens when you take Anthropology and Sociology in the same semester, but really? maybe if we quit talking about it, it would be less of a problem -___-

Please explain to me how if we as a collective were to stop talking about racism it would suddenly end and/or...

What about:
Africa for the Africans,Asia for the Asians,white countries for EVERYBODY! Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries. The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in...
Racism.
we-lie-we-love:
Ok, so here is my theory. There’s black people, and niggers. Black people, are just black people, niggers are the annoying ones. Same with Hispanics and beaners/wetbacks, Asians and chinks, etc. Its not racist, I’m not singling out a whole race, just people of that race that are particularly frustrating or annoying. I feel the same about white people and uh, whatever racial slur...
Omg lol people are freaking out about my post.
drinksomebleach:
I don’t think that it’s wrong for African Americans to be offered scholarships specific to their minority, just that they shouldn’t get the convenience of being offered one for the PSAT’s if no one else does. Why can’t they just leave it at the National Merit Scholarship which looks at everybody equally instead of giving African Americans their own category just because they’re...
I'm sorry but the fact that you can tick a little...

If I started a foundation to give money to only white people based on their grades, I’d get into so much shit. White people aren’t even going to be the majority of America sooner or later, but even then it would be frowned upon.
Do white people ever get tired of saying this?
It’s not even an accurate painting of scholarships/education in America.

crankyskirt asked: There is something really troubling about demonizing the woman in that photo for sexualizing Native American women, considering that she is, in fact, Native American and writes extensively about how important her identity is to her.

Anonymous asked: I have a problem with that last image. While I agree that people should not perpetuate the hurtful stereotypes of native sexuality, ESPECIALLY given the rate of sexual assaults of native women, that image seems weirdly victim-blamey. I think stating that women's sexuality leads to rape directly or indirectly is inherently problematic. Like the fault lies with the oversexualized IMAGE of...

Anonymous asked: hey i run a similar tumblr called "The Rooney Rule". It's basically just a collection of things i found that were handed to PoC not based on skill, knowledge, experience, talent, or expertise but because they're colored folk. It's a celebration of changing a fuckload of basic principles to accommodate those less white.
So I want to make a documentary at the Rez
pantyninja:
It’s just an idea I’m playing with right now. In my film class I have to make a 3-5 minute long documentary and I would like to let more people know about all these negative stereotypes that still exist in modern media. ESPECIALLY with the hipster fad going on right now and all the appropriation. Hopefully I can find the time to travel up to a reservation here in California but I’m...

hippierev0lution:
okay, so i’ve heared romanis telling people to not use the word gypsy and comparing it with n*gga.
most black people don’t consider it a racial slur anymore because they’ve ”taken it back” and call eachother it, and when other people use it its not as offensive.
instead of complaining, why dont you just do that with the word gypsy?:-)
i’m not like, trying to offend anyone,...

I can’t believe that I have to elaborate this much on so many topics. It’s probably not going to stop you self-righteous people from sending me dozens of messages about things that, frankly, I don’t care about.
Women with hair

I am honestly a little racist.
makyea:
I am so serious. My whole life I have had a little annoyance with black people. The only two black people I don’t feel that way towards are Lauren & Sam. It’s weird I know but I can’t stop myself. I just dislike black people.
Why would you think this was an okay thing to say and tag?

Anonymous asked: Do you know anyone who has a good solid guide on cultural appropriation, especially one that doesn't focus entirely on native/indigenous cultures? Everyone makes it sound like the distinction between appropriation and respect is easy to draw, but it can get complicated. Especially when it comes to things like, white people buying artwork by POC artists that is informed by their race/ethnic...
y0ungandh0peless:
I hate how black people are allowed to have all black colleges, and all black clubs at school, but if a white person tried to do that they would be the most racist piece of shit ever. NO. That’s bullshit and one day i’m going to make an all-white college and when people call me racist all I’m going to say is WHITE POWER.
#come at me
Okay
You’re wrong.
The End.

And have a cool Native American name. Play flute and hunt. Sounds like paradise. (I meant to clarify earlier, but i mean before the reservation. Before the railroads. couldn’t think of a better word for it at the time so i used reservation. )
more racist rants

Almost every black person I have seen LIVES off food stamps. They have children just so they can get MORE food stamps and welfare checks, and after they get them, they have no gratitude. To them, they are ENTITLED. Black people are the biggest entitlement people there are. They don’t the fact that food stamps are paid for by real taxpayers. Black people are only 13% of the US population...

heytherefeministcupcake asked: In regards to the last anon, if you look back in the archives there actually is a couple of posts where those appropriating Native Americans were black. I'm just guessing the majoirty posts of people tagging Native Americans happen to be white youth. Furthermore, was pic of someone in white face a POC?

Anonymous asked: You've explicitly said in one of your posts that you see racism as PoCs<White people. How is that not racism right there--especially when you look at the actual definition of racism?

The Definition of Racism
Hi, I just wanted to clear something up about racism. It has been claimed here that one cannot be racist towards white people. I beg to differ.
Racism is defined as: 1.) a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others; 2.) a...
