it means, stop and think about how your privileges are affecting your experiences and thus your thoughts and opinions on the issue at hand.
and i have my issues with #racism101 language and the over-use of the term “white privilege” (cause naw son, some of that is just straight up white…

I’ve noticed a trend. When I post to my Facebook page about gay cats, or my friend Sacha (a boy) trying out for the Denver Broncos cheerleaders, or bacon, my Facebook friends respond with comments and likes all across the board. That is to say, the friends who respond are…
Real Scumbag Discovered
If I weren’t Canadian, I would buy ALL THE COOKIES.
Taken from the Honest Girl Scouts campaign. For a campaign trying to get people /not/ to buy cookies and /not/ support the GSUSA, this is doing an awful lot to suddenly make me want /to/ support the GSUSA. (and I’m saying this a a former Girl Scout of about 6 years who hasn’t bought cookies in years because they’re too expensive).
I see so much acceptance here, and especially in a time in children’s lives where acceptance is so important, taking that away from them is just cruel.
I do deserve to know what Girl Scout cookies fund. And they deserve to have my money to support their pinko commie radicalism. Delicious, delicious radicalism.
Also I really enjoy that providing good and information-based sex education is supposed to be a negative point.Oh gds, I love the scare quotes around the sex ed parts. LOVE.
Ooh. Unfortunately, what I’ve taken from this is “BUY MOAR COOKIES”. Okay. Okay. Too bad the adorable Scouts next door moved away with their hoard of cookies and precious little merit badges.
Honestly this just makes me want to be even less stingy with my cash when I buy cookies. I may well end up with a freezer full this year because “IT’S FOR CHARITY”.
I never bought GS cookies before but now I’m going to make sure to buy a few boxes and recommend them to others. My aunt has worked for GS for a really long time, so I know how to get to the cookies. THE COOKIES.
going to make sure to spread the word and support them!
Do you know when cookies come around? I wanna order some.
February. I plan to buy all the cookies. ALL THE COOKIES!
Holy shit, I am so in for some fucking cookies this year!
I bought 4 boxes of cookies from my friend’s kid, AWWW YEAH.

Okay, I’m trying to take a really deep breath here, but …
Are you telling me that some motherfucking white dudebro actually got out a motherfucking pen and a big old sheet of poster board and seriously sat his ass down and wrote out “Why are you harassing us white kids when you could be arresting BLACK PEOPLE??? Who have serious medical conditions (i.e. addiction) but no access to treatment? ISN’T SOCIETY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THE POLICE ARE CURRENTLY FAILING THE RACIST PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX BY PICKING ON WHITE FOLKS???”
And then
And THEN
A whole bunch of OTHER motherfuckers got on tumblr and reblogged his goddamn picture without a single fucking critical word?
Because apparently they see this sign and think “YEAH. He’s right! WE SHOULD BE ARRESTING BLACK PEOPLE INSTEAD.”
Yeah, okay, if you did not see an immediate problem with this sign the minute you saw it, I am totally fucking DONE with YOU.
really. REALLY. SERIOUSLY? People are reblogging this like this is a thing? WHAT. THE. FUCK. This is why I can’t deal with a movement run by white people. All the supporters are like “fuck black people go arrest them.” Why not say WHILE THE POLICE ARREST US, CORRUPTION HAPPENS IN THE BANK INDUSTRY. Why go to crack? Y’all are supposed to be supportive of ALL MEMBERS of the 99%, not just the white ones. god motherfucking damn it. Fix yourselves.

One of the things I think progressives who ignore history don’t understand is that just like racism is taught, so is distrust. Especially in Af-Am households where our parents & grandparents who have lived through Jim Crow, Cointelpro, Reaganomics, & the War on Drugs (better titled the War on…

besides a lot more white people buy and sell drugs than any community of color does!
and who introduced crack to 3rd & Pike, hmm?
Hmmm, i could be a little misinformed here, but where does it say ANYTHING about blacks vs. whites? And since when has drug addiction pertain to a certain race in the first place? I do not understand where this anger is coming from and why it is even necessary. All i see is a protester pointing out the irony in his situation - he being arrested for a peaceful protest exercises his rights of free speech and assembly while the real harm and illegal action is going on in the location he stated. I do not see where this white v. black comes in and why it has to even be brought up.
i’m kind of concerned that person who wrote the first rant automatically assumed that ONLY black people sell/smoke crack. that sign does not say “hey! leave my innocent white brethren alone and go arrest those crack dealing negroes on 3rd & pike”
I’ve NEVER done crack before and I will never. Crackheads and crack dealers aren’t just black. The more you know….
yeah it didn’t say black people….but i still don’t agree. because the whole “war on drugs” is stupid and its just as much of a waste of tax dollars to “crack down” on drug dealers. Instead of helping people and implementing actual procedures that work.
Its kind of condescending though
wtf is wrong with everyone ignoring the fact that CRACK IS A BLACK ISSUE. it was introduced into the black community. BLACK PEOPLE GET ARRESTED 10 TIMES MORE OFTEN FOR DRUG USE THAN ANY OTHER GROUP despite being the least likely group (other than asians) to use drugs. BLACK PEOPLE live at 3rd & pike. BLACK PEOPLE are already victimized by the police. this IS a black (and brown, i suppose) issue, and pointing that out isn’t racist. it’s telling the truth.
and if you think the “real harm” in america is being perpetrated by the people who are addicted to drugs that were purposely introduced to hinder the growth of their community, then get the fuck off my blog because there is no hope for you.any white person who thinks that any mention of drugs isn’t directed at the black community needs to get themselves to a stadium for some serial sitting
And I know I might be reaching here, but, whadya wanna bet the signholder just saw some black guys on the corner and assumed they were selling crack?
