ordinary-vehicel-deactivated201: Please, give me an actual explanation why POC people can't be racist. I bet you can't even come up with one legitemate point.
STOP EXPLAINING SHIT TO WHITE PEOPLE. THEY DONT DESERVE YOUR SANITY. THEY DONT CARE ANYWAYS. MOST OF THEM ARE TROLLS. DONT FUCK UP UR HEALTH CUZ OF THESE PEOPLE.
Racist white people get the broomstick treatment around here.
“Sealioning is the name given to a specific, pervasive form of aggressive cluelessness, that masquerades as a sincere desire to understand.
A Sealion is a person who, when confronted with a fact that they don’t care to acknowledge, say, the persistence of systemic racism in America, will ask endlessly for ‘proof’ and insist that it is the other person’s job to stop everything they are doing and address the issue to their satisfaction.
Sealions are just ‘asking nicely’ but they are asking questions that have been asked and answered fully many times, and are unwilling to so much as open a tab to look up the answer, nor will they recognize the validity of your sources, your experience or expertise.”
— Erica Friedman
^Comic of origin for the “sea lioning” term, very very relevant. Google exists. It is not hard to use. Do not spend your time and effort and emotional labor explaining shit to lazy racist assholes (also applies for sexists/homophobes/transphobes/etc,)
Trying to explain to your family members why homophobia/racism/islamophobia are wrong
“It’s tough, because everyone is entitled to their opinions and everyone is entitled to their beliefs … but if the opinions and feelings are rooted in denying certain people basic human rights, I’ve got a problem with that.”
“without us you wouldn’t have any rights!“ without you we wouldn’t have to fight for them
Always this. Always.
“Remember that men gave women the right to vote!”
And remember that men should never have been at such a social and political advantage as to be able to literally give and take away rights from groups of people.
