I'm Melanie. I'm 18. I'm an avid fan of stuff and, if you like stuff as well, there's a possibility that you'll enjoy my blog.
Welcome.

racism is prejudice plus power. You cannot be racist against white ppl. I like Riley and I reblogging their stuff but I don’t agree with everything on dumbthingswhitepplsay. I agree with a lot but not most. You missed the point of the original post to. White people have no room educating a POC on racism or discrimination, because they have never experienced it like a POC would have.

I agree with that. White people do not experience any sort of racism or oppression based on the color of their skin. I keep saying that, but it seems to be going over everyone’s head, or maybe they just don’t want to see it because I keep getting pushed into this category of ‘racist.’

The thing I don’t agree with is that the blog that the original post came from is run by an admin who says that all white people are racist. I understand that I don’t experience what a POC does and I’ll never have to deal with that level discrimination, which I’m sure I can’t even fathom, but I don’t see the sense in fighting of prejudice and hatred by trying to turn it in the other direction.
