a reverse racism movie

"Reverse-racism is when you be extra nice to people, overlook their flaws and lack of qualifications just beause they are black. Like many people do for your president, Obama."

Sorry, but that is one hell of a stupid,ignorant, and racist thing to say---as if the same thing dosen't happen to white people--who,let's be real, get away with doing that for each other all the damn time because they're the majority, but you don't hear them get called out on that too much. I remember one time a black woman told me about she had to train a white women on her job who was completely unqualified for the position she had, and only got that job because she was either the boss's daughter or cousin. So don't act if only SOME black people get away with this--plus you just insulted the average black person who works hard, goes to school and pays their taxes just like most good citizens do. I hate how stupid racists like you ALWAYS make these stupid generalizations about black people---once AGAIN, there are 38 million of us in this country--if you're dumb enough to assume that THAT many people are all the damn same, if just shows how immature,sheltered and not too bright you are (probably someone who's never gotten to know a black person in their whole damn life,anyway.) And may I remind you that former prez Bush wasn't even thought to be qualified to be President either---he only got the job because the Supreme Court basically gave it to him--funny how you forgot that.) And how are you qualified to judge who is qualified to be President and who is not? Obama has come off as a hell of a lot more competent than that ignorant, spoiled-as-hell idiot Bush,who had the lowest ratings of ANY President ever while in office--how soon we forget,and got us into two costly wars we're still fighting.

And I'll tell you why the term "reverse racism" is some total and complete bull****. For nearly the first 400 years legally sanctioned racism was practiced against black people (and anybody else that was non-white) BY white people all the damn time,meaning they could do whatever the hell they wanted to us any damn time they felt like it,and they made damn sure they could EVERY damn chance they got. That is not ANYWHERE near the equivalent to a black person cursing out a white person and calling them "honky" or whatever,especially since white people have "white privilege" which protects them from ever getting profiled,stopped.searched and frisked by the police--and even from getting shot because you were automatically thought to be a threat,despite the lack of a weapon--this happens to black folks all the time. Here's why so-called "reverse racism" is a bunch of nonsense,and an insult to anyone who really knows American history. I also hate how want to bring up race in a subject that has NOTHING to do with it,and whine about it. And movie are made about poor white folks ALL the time, so what the hell was your point, which was ridiculous to begin with anyway?

This is where I got this from--now shut up and read it:


Racism 101: Prejudice vs. Power


Any time a white person uses their own personal experience of prejudice (or a fabricated one) to demonstrate how whites suffer from racism, there is an underlying tendency to believe individual experience reflects broader social and structural realities. This is not the case. Just as one white person who was harassed by a person of color does not prove “reverse” racism, one Black president does not prove the end of racism. For the few white folks with hurt pride, there are thousands more with staggering social comfort who make hurt pride an exception to the status quo; for the few POC with class/political privilege, there are thousands more with staggering social oppression who make this privilege an exception to the status quo. How much white privilege does it require to think one painful confrontation is equally damaging as living with the daily reality of racism? And how much white privilege does it require to think one isolated incident, or even several isolated incidents, are equivalent to the constant violence of racism?

Part of the problem in this case is the assumption that individuals are representative of entire groups, whether they are white or of color. Malcolm X attacked as an “extremist” and depicted/blamed as the symbol of Black “violence” ignores and erases the diverse complexities of identity and thought within Black communities. Making a case for reverse racism based on that one white girl down the street who got called a “cracker b*tch” or a “gringa” that one time ignores and erases the systemic and social power of having white skin. The fact that our whiteness protects us from racial violence and hatred 99% of the time facilitates our unjustified outrage when POC don’t value us for being white. We are so used to being valued for being white that we are quick to cry ‘injustice’ when anyone challenges the longstanding positive construction of whiteness. But don’t get it twisted: prejudice does not equal power. When white folks have legacies of social, structural, and racial power in our favor, prejudice against us is completely inconsequential and certainly not identical. Interpersonal conflict does not threaten the power of whiteness or render the suffering of racism equal along lines of race.

Until the majority of white folks have been retroactively written out of the US constitution, enslaved on the basis of being less than human, imported to work in agribusiness and industry then deported as disposable labor, and have been overwhelmingly colonized, displaced, raped, and tortured, then maybe we can talk about racism against whites. Once the majority of white folks are segregated to neighborhoods next to industrial plants and sewage refineries, have their social and political opportunities limited because of their racial identity, are discriminated against in employment and education, and have to live with constant dehumanization based on their race, then maybe we can talk about racism against whites. Stereotyping and lumping all POC under one identity by misinterpreting individual actions is racist; white folks losing their privilege because individual white people have hurt feelings is impossible.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
