Fellow Crackers

We’re all racist, white ladies and dudes. This isn’t, initially, our fault. Society is one racist mother fucker and we leech off its cultural teat from the day we’re born. It is impossible… IMPOSSIBLE… for you to grow up white and not have some racist bullshit diffuse into your brain. We are treated differently than people of color and most of us don’t notice because we don’t spend time with people of color. We end up thinking, when we isolate ourselves like that, that how we are treated is how -everybody- is treated. White folks are rude to people of color, white folks are dismissive of people of color. White folks don’t have to learn a god damn thing about people of color but you’re damn certain people of color know about white folks. They have to. We run this shit. Our cultural palette is the de facto norm for pretty much everything that isn’t niche marketed.

If we don’t confront our racial bullshit, like how racial epithets are in our heads and we THINK THEM, then we’re the racist assholes we are afraid we are. But if you confront this shit and understand that you are fucking racist and there’s not a thing you can do to make that go away, you can start ameliorating this problem. You can see what behaviors, ideologies, and thoughts are examples of the particular racism you’ve absorbed and you can work on them! It’s a wonderful thing!
