lets stop racism- racism is for pricks

This may surprise you, but the happy-go-lucky attitude towards racism doesn’t actually work in real life.

Maybe you’re wondering “Can’t we all just get along?”

No. No we can’t.

This isn’t fucking kindergarten. 

what is this?

can we not act like the black boy isnt gonna get hell for this friendship

can we stop acting like children are so innocent and so pure that they do not notice different skin color?

can we stop acting as if being color blind will solve racism

lol, everyone has these colorblind white friends at the age of 4

and then by ten they’re all gone for a damn reason

And people do choose friends by skin color. Too many people think having a “friend” of color immunizes them against their racist bullshit and PoC often choose OTHER people of color to be friends with out of self defense/survival/protection. Yes, there’s nuance and exceptions, but you can certainly examine how deep a friendship is when one person feels safe saying anything and the other person can’t speak on certain issues in their lives with out that fear of being dismissed, turned on, or having their problems belittled. Keeping shit superficial is for safety. That’s not real friendship, believe it.

Yeah what happens in a few years if these friends decide to date? Oh I know, someone might try to lynch him. Peep the date & their ages. Old white men dying off won’t be enough to stop racism.

Can we not act like there aren’t cases where if two little kids met at the grocery store and tried to play or hug that the white mom wouldn’t immediately freak out and snatch her kid away and scream violent threats at the little Black boy?

Because, that shit happens often enough.
