I’ve been shifting my eyes across this screen for so long that I’ve become distracted. Disconnected. I’m getting closer to sources and farther from the kind of words I need to say.

I don’t think I can communicate with privileged white men anymore. I know you’re not listening. I know you’re not even TRYING to understand what I’m saying. So just…fuck off.

To be honest, I dislike how often discussions of racism get derailed to explain to people that the dictionary definition is out-of-date and inadequate but I feel it is a conversation we need to have. Racism will always be more complex than a “hatred or intolerance of another race or other races”. It is a set of practices and subconscious behaviors that continuously teaches us to default to white, where “nude” is considered to be beige, and black folks and Hispanics have higher incarceration rates than whites for the similar crimes. By saying this I am not undermining bullying you may have received in grade, middle or high school and I am also not saying people of color cannot be prejudiced against other races themselves. All I am saying is we, as people of color, cannot be racist since we lack the power to full on oppress you. It is truly that simple to grasp.
