White privilege is explaining away Somali piracy as petty crime when it is actually a defense against THEIR governments dumping waste on the shores of fishermen whose family depends on the income from what they capture, which is nothing when all the fish have nuclear poisoning.

gotham-needs-me-deactivated2012 asked: I really love your blog, but when you mentioned that all forms of music came from PoC, did you recognize opera and classical music? I've heard rumors that Beethoven was black, but I'm not sure how true they are.

bad-dominicana:
this is really the crux of whiteness
they refuse to include you anywhere

they call it questionable and racist
they tell you go do your own shit if you dont like how they never remember you exist and only portray you as a trope
and then you go do your own shit w your own kind, and they complain about “well if i did that id...

White privilege is that weird feeling you get in your stomach when a PoC gets the job that you applied for or is picked before you or gets better grades than you.
Mod note: This is one of the most pervasive and easily hidden aspects of white privilege. You may not outwardly rant about Affirmative Action. You may not outwardly rant about immigration. You may not outwardly rant about outsourcing....

White privilege is…when a white co-worker doesn’t understand why POCs would be taken aback by being asked to pay dues out of pocket in order to be members of their respective company-sanctioned employee diversity groups.

White privilege is never needing facts to validate your argument, but dismissing anything PoC say that isn’t fully sourced in MLA style and peer reviewed.

White privilege is when suburbs create municipal school districts and expect the school system to hand over the multiple school buildings that are located in said suburbs but are owned by the school districts for FREE. (This is happening in Memphis aka the most racist city in the world) then have the balls to get upset when we say no.

White privilege is not being accused of being oversenitive and immature after calling the police in response to drunk frat guys shouting racial epithet at you while walking back home from your job.
(This happened to someone at my University, the reactions to a CLEARLY racist act make me want to throw up…still denying)

Mod note: Fun fact: more white people are on welfare than black people.

White privilege is never having to keep your receipts so you can prove where you have been at all times in case you get stopped by the cops. You never need to collect receipts habitually as a way to thwart being wrongfully accused of a crime, only for tax purposes.

White privilege is me watching ”Hercules” and in an episode where they go to Egypt, the actors who play the Egyptians are white people with some bronze slapped on them even though during the series run of ”Hercules” black Hollywood was in full effect dominating tv shows and theaters.

White privilege is the purchase of the island of Lana’i by Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
Even as a Hawai’i resident, I had no idea Lana’i was privately owned. It’s a Hawaiian island, not trophy estate.It shouldn’t have been up for sale in the first place.

White privilege is flying an aircraft into a general airport without being prodded with questions about where, how, or why you fly and without receiving dirty looks from others because you don’t fit into what they believe a pilot should look like.

furiosity asked: I think anon may be confusing your unwillingness to let white people police your blog in *any* way with a lack of sympathy for the suffering of white queer folk. I am a white queer woman and I have felt like you were dismissing my queer experience a few times when you said such things, but after forcing myself to deconstruct, it didn't take me long to figure out that my discomfort really...

Remember when you first came on tumblr and started talking about racism? But you didn’t want to piss off the white people so you just vaguely used “people” and “racists” to talk about them. And you stayed on tumblr longer, saw your friends get harassed by white folks, saw people you liked and followed get rape threats and death threats...
