Stuff White Girls Say… To Black Girls

Black people.. always offended and always play the race card. NOT TO BE RACIST LOLOLOLOL

this is exactly the kind of comment our lives are plagued with. i guess until you walk a mile in our shoes you’ll never get it

“As a white person, it is my responsibility to dictate what people of color should take offense to.” – KOBAYASHI

Best and most important comment in thread. 

PART white. Thanks for just assuming there, buddy. It isn’t racist to tell someone they look like a celebrity. You need to calm the FUCK down.

Thank you for the massive whitesplain. Everything I said is still relevant and you have further proven my point. 

Fine believer whatever you want. You’re still a fool. 

Also, wtf is “whitesplain”? I’ll just assume it’s a jab at my race. Once again, I. Am. Not. White.

How does your “quote” at all summarize what I said? A) I’m not 100% white (I just happen to be a girl with pink hair that slightly resembles Kelly Osbourne) B) the original poster wasn’t offended by a color, unless it was pink, which I doubt since she was wearing a pink wig C) she took offense to someone connecting her ‘look’ to Nikki Manaj, so therefore she was offended by being compared to a relitively beautiful woman which leads me to believe that the original poster is just looking to bitch about something and claim it’s racist when really that was a damned good compliment IMHO.

To be fair, a lot of obnoxious people have the intelligence and tact of a 6 year old.
I’m an advocate of equal opportunity condescension.

Meh, as an obnoxious white girl I think we take the cake.

It sort of was!  ”Why isn’t there a White Entertainment Television”? There is, it’s called every other channel.

Actually, racism against white people does exist. However, I wouldn’t necessarily call it “reverse racism”. It’s just….racism. There are definitely people who look down on others for being white. Living in an area in which white people are minority, I’ve seen loads of people who look at white people as though they’re incompetent, moronic, incapable of doing anything that isn’t a “white person job”, whatever the hell that means. 

I’m not saying that there aren’t a lot of white people who refuse to acknowledge that they have it easy. There are. A lot. But just because, as a general rule, white people seem to be far more racist, that doesn’t mean there aren’t people who discriminate against them for their skin tone and heritage.

I’m just saying.

I’m sorry, but that is not true. You are talking about
prejudice, not racism. The critical difference is the element of power. So
maybe when white people have endured a long history of systemic and
institutionalized oppression, you can cry about racism. And besides, it’s not
like a white person living in an
area where they are the “minority” is somehow robbed of their privilege. Racism
runs far deeper than “looking down” on someone or saying a few choice words
about their job. You are misinformed.

This. How is this not common knowledge? How are people actually this stupid? 

If you look up the word racism, it says nothing about power. It talks about believing one race is better then another. So in the most literal sense, it is racism. And as far as crying about it…I never did that. Not even for a moment. I understand that I’m a privileged white bitch. Honestly, I don’t fault people for feeling that way, and I don’t fault them for being upset about it. I simply pointed out that there are instances where literal racism does occur against white people.

Is it the same? No. Not even a little bit. Is there the same power or connotation to it? Nope. But does it happen? Yes.

My response seems to have been mistaken for a complaint, and I apologize for it coming off that way. I was simply trying to point out a fact.

The dictionary is not the final authority on racism. What you have described is not racism in any sense, literal or otherwise. It is prejudice. Acts of prejudice against white people are isolated, i.e. no systemic opression. IT IS CATEGORICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BE RACIST AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE. Drop the mic get outta that bitch. 

It’s impossible to act racist against white people? You’re fucking delusional!

White people have white privilege and thus they have power. No matter how prejudiced a person of color may become of white people, white people will still have more power. This isn’t to mention the millions of middle class families of color who are one of very few families of color in their neighborhood. Even cities–look at NYC, where the majority in lower income neighborhoods are people of color. Look at most schools in the US, where the majority of teachers are white and the majority of cafeteria workers and janitors are people of color. I interned at a magazine, and the large majority of people sitting in cubicles were white, the majority of people of color worked in the mail room. Racism is a machine and an institution. No matter how prejudice a person of color may be against a white person, it will not undo this structure.  Addressing persecution of people in Eastern Europe, as someone above did, is only dodging the residue of the US’ racist past, present and future. Furthermore, when white people are prejudiced against people of color it is because they are societally conditioned (meaning it can be subconscious) to believe that they are superior of more entitled that people of color. When people of color are prejudiced against white people, it is because they dislike the oppressor, not because they see themselves as better or worthier–therefore it’s not racist to be prejudiced against white people.

Thats some serious wisdom. Ive noticed that alot of people who dont understand this stucture exists in the US respond very angrily as if a harsh tone makes for better communication. You are very calm.  The truth spoken ALWAYS maintains peace, in a truthful society. 

I respect your point and how you communicated it. However, it is not always the case. I live in an area where, due to demographic breakdown, white people do not have any advantage or ability to oppress. People of color are equally as common as, if not more then Caucasians, and often have equal or greater income. White people are not oppressed in this situation. Don’t get me wrong. But they do not have privilege either. And in this situation, there is definitive racisim against white people, simply due to others’ feelings of superiority. White people are also racist here. There is no party that is inherently disadvantaged. And in the few instances where this is true (as it is, admittedly, quite rare), racism runs rampant among members of every race against any race that the individual deems lesser.

It may not be racist to be prejudiced as long as there is good reason. But there are cases where racism is just racism, no matter who’s doing it.

…you make about zero sense.  “white” is a race, and “black is a race. how is it impossible to be racist against the white race? fucking moron, stfu.

very true othanatos, although they may seem the minority in some areas familiar to our personal lives, they do still make up majority of the power, aka influence, on this earth thru cooperations, media, idea of beauty, etc. The colonization continues…

Pretty sure there’s never been a time when white people *weren’t* the majority, but okay…

‘…incapable of doing anything that isn’t a “white person job”, whatever the hell that means.’
Probably something that pays well, has benefits, and comes after higher education.

Racism and any ism necessarily moves in the direction from the institutionally privileged to the institutionally oppressed. Jokes and stereotypes about white people =/= racism because, unlike jokes and stereotypes about people of color, they don’t reinforce a system which keeps the oppressed group down.

Classism and jokes about poor white people, different story. Intersectionality plays a role in all of this.

“reverse racism” is a racist term. I’ll leave it at that.

Just a few words here about some of your silly
remarks…

‘Reverse racism is not something that exists
except in the minds of white people who refuse to examine their privilege’?
Darling I’m amazed you have the ability to write considering your level of
stupidity and ignorance of history. Racism is not a one way street. Just like
any of the other ‘isms’ out there, it does not move in one direction. Just because
sexism generally involves the discrimination against women, does not mean it
never happens the other way around (such as is the case for many men working
both as nurses or primary school teachers). As for it being ‘categorically
impossible’ to be racist against white people….Try telling that to the millions
of Russians and Poles who were hunted down during the second world war for
having soviet blood, not to mention the travellers and Jewish people (oh yes, I
went there).  

you’re an idiot. racism IS  a one way street – racism is the systemic discrimination based on prejudice that inhibits people from achievement. black people can NEVER be racist because we do not have power to exercise racism. we can be prejudiced but not racist, so it s a one way street.

reverse racism is a white invention.

racism: 
a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others

…..you know…like that stuff you read in history books, about that guy called Hitler believing a certain race (aryan) is better than all others, whatever colour they might be….but fuck it right? He was probably just prejudiced too…

Reverse racism-something White people made up so they can dismiss combating a system that oppresses an underprivileged minority of people on a day-to-day basis, all because one asshole in his or her class hurt her feelings happened to be a person of color.
Get over yourselves people.

oh my god you are wrong ok. I am white and I get that people cannot be racist to white people because we are white. Ever heard to white privilege? Go google that and get back to me. Also Hitler didn’t hate the jews because of the colour of their skin only, it was a whole lot more that that! Don’t forget that Judaism is a RELIGION also, not just a race. The Russians and the Polish for having soviet blood. You said it yourself!!! That is a freaking area, it was NOT because they were WHITE it was because of the country they came from. Also you will find that it was other white people hunting them down. SUCH IGNORANCE UGH

exactly ! if black people joke around about white people and they just laugh about it then they think its okay . but black people don’t just laug about it like white peeople ..

it’s just curiosity about cultural differences. it’s not racism. stfu.

Assuming you’re white, how often do people of color ask to touch your hair? Or begin a conversation with, “Not to be racist…” Or ask you if it’s OK to say cracker? Or tell you they’re not into dating white people?

both of you are correct in your own ways

for one, yes, there is a difference between being a racist (intentionally assuming things are true about a certain group of people) and being ignorant (has no idea what they are saying and how it could offend someone)

on the other hand, this video is a deep statement. it really has opened the eyes of those who have been doing this. even though it is really funny, it is fairly true. i know that there are white people who do this stuff to my friends ALL the time. its really bad.

remember though, racism is a two way street. white people say A LOT of things about black people. but then again, sometimes it seems as though black people can say things about white people and it is just brushed away, even though it is still racist.

okay, NOW you can disagree with me and call me a dumbass if that is what you want
