These are, for the sake of space, paraphrased versions of the original arguments that I’ve seen floating around the internet, and some have been reworded to make them clearer. Included is my own commentary on why exactly each is racist, although most of them don’t need much explanation.

I said I was going to bed, but I’m gonna stay up just long enough to respond to this.
I’m going to start by saying that when you say that women go through more than Black people do, you are erasing the fact that Hey, some Black people are women. I’m one of them. And I’m insulted as fuck by the fact that you people always forget that shit.

It's Cute
samimoofle:
Hello dearest followers, It’s cute how people are taking my post from earlier and trying to twist my words around and make me sound like a racist. It’s ridiculous that when you bring up slavery in America a million people will point at you with hate if you say anything other than, “SLAVERY WAS BAD, AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AMAZING.” It’s funny, isn’t it?

Ways Gender-Privileged Men Can Challenge Sexism
meeca:
(This list will be forever in-progress. Please add on as you see fit).
Challenge sexist jokes, such as dumb blonde jokes or jokes about rape.
Avoid using words such as “bitch”, “ho”, “slut.”
Recognize when you “zone out” when women are speaking, when you value a man’s opinion more than a woman’s, or when you ask a man for information or advice rather than a woman.
Recognize times when...

U.S. drones targeting rescuers and mourners →
The CIA’s drone campaign in Pakistan has killed dozens of civilians who had gone to help rescue victims or were attending funerals, an investigation by the Bureau for the Sunday Times has revealed.
The findings are published just days after President Obama claimed that the drone campaign in Pakistan was a “targeted, focused effort” that “has not caused a huge number of civilian casualties”… .

A note on religious iconography
regazzadilupoinverno:
just a note on religious iconography here
do not assume a cross is christian.
if it has jesus on it it is obviously a crucifix.
the cross was a religious symbol for many pagan people before it ever became a christian symbol. The cross of equal bar length is a symbol of Nordic faith, and of Druidic faiths, for the four seasons, the four elements. The X is a rune and...

Why capitalism needs racism →
The capitalist social pyramid is black at the base and white at the top. In South Africa, until apartheid was formally abolished in 1994, this pyramid was legally sanctioned. Elsewhere, while slavery and segregation have been outlawed, the richest people are still the whitest and the poorest are the blackest.
Racism suits capitalism because it’s an important way of justifying economic...

At no point in your incoherent existence did you ever seek to actually uphold the noble sentiments of the constituion that you said was supposed to be shaping the world at large; and...

That’s probably because it’s hard to notice what white privilege does for you because white default has convinced you that it’s not anything extra, it’s just normal.

Should We Study White People? →
Indeed, reading the responses to Kellogg’s article is a reminder of how much resistance there is among those marked as “white” to even acknowledge that they have a racial position in the world, let alone a privileged one. How often have I had to tell white students that they must discuss race in their papers only to have them respond “but there is no race. Everyone I’m studying is white.”
