wtf why??? I officially hate white people. I hate being white
Some people have discoloration in their armpits..? What the fuck is the problem here?
Is whitening your teeth racist too, OP?
never claimed that anything was racist but okay. I’m a dental assistant who prefers to take a holistic approach to everything, and yeah, I’m not really for teeth whitening at all. I mean, to each his own, whatever makes people happy. but theeth whitening isn’t really that healthy and I DO tell people not to go through with it. either way you can’t compare the two things because everyone’s teeth are naturally the same color, whereas people’s skin comes in all different shades. I’m anti things that aren’t natural and THAT was the point of the post. I hate white people TRENDS but sorry y'all are so easily offended at anything that criticizes while people LMFAOOO. if you get that offensed you must not realize how socially unjust this world is. learn about your own privledge instead of getting butt hurt about minute things you see on tumblr
What I want to know is, if your beef is that it’s not natural, then why make it about your race, or race in general? You “officially” hate white people because there’s a skin-lightening product that no one is being forced to use?
I’m not “offensed" lol. I made a joke. You’re the one flying off the rails and proclaiming that you hate an entire race over something completely superficial and insignificant.
I’m Slavic, East Asian, and Native American, but I’m not sure what my race, or whatever you assume my privilege is (without knowing jack shit about me), has to do with you throwing a shit fit over armpit whiteners. But hey, have fun with that.
well, @noelleian my beef comes from multiple places. the reason I made the post was because the expectations that society puts on humans to be perfect is pretty alarming. the desire and expectation to be literally perfect is getting so out of hand that now people are resorting to fixing their underarm discoloration. never have I observed another person’s looks and paid close attention to how their armpit skin coloring looks compared to the rest of their body. I think these expectations are way too out of hand. and the fact that this product is made from completely organic ingredients doesn’t make it any better in my eyes, because it’s still contributing to the high expectation to look perfect.
now from the comments I’m learning that people have some kind of legitimate skin discoloration condition. okay, my bad, I didn’t mean to offend people who use this product. I use makeup half the time when I go out too. I try to limit my makeup use because I know that it’s all a hoax that’s essentially a waste of my money and time and one of those things that contributes to toxic society. but I didn’t meant to shame people who use these things. we all have physicalities that we’re insecure about so again, to each his own. I also acknowledge the fact that it’s completely okay and cool to like makeup and wear it regularly and to wear as much as you’d like!!! not trying to shame at all here.
but I feel that my original comment was also just a joke that people could also choose to ignore and move on from. nobody’s forcing anyone to follow a blog ignorant enough to be named itisokaytobewhite (which is how I’m assuming most of these notes came to be). I made the post about white people bc that was my other point of “beef” - I wrongly assumed that this was more of a fashion trend among white people who have some kind of skin discoloration and just wanted to make sure that their underarms remained as white as possible. clearly I was wrong in the sense that people with all different skin tones have the discoloration and use the product.
it’s still pretty unnerving how many people got butt hurt upon seeing someone write “I hate white people”. considering how fucked up and racist this world is, and the privledge that I unfairly and unintentionally benefit from every day, people need to get over it. I see people here on tumblr say they hate white people, and I know they don’t literally mean every single one so I can easily let it slide. I’m the only fully white person in my class at school, and sometimes they’ll talk about white people stereotypes, and honestly, every single one has been true so far. I don’t get offended one bit by it. white people sterotypes are typically harmless and mostly true things (ex soccer moms), while stereotypes targeted toward other races are more often than not, dehumanizing and offensive. I’m usually an anti stereotype person but I have no problem making a post poking fun at white people when I witness gross white privledge every day. if you look at the other content posted by most of the other commenters up in here, you’ll see that they’re kind of problematic people who reblog conservative things that idealize things that I suffer from every day. you’re right, I don’t know jack shit about you, but nobody on this site knows shit about me either. my family is living on a generator at the moment because we have no way to pay the bills. my sister was murdered by a cop two years ago because the pig didn’t like her black boyfriend. I do know things about privledge.
how was I supposed to know your heritages before you told me? my bad for assuming that you’re white, but you did come through with a “joke” that implied that I’m racist for saying I hate white people. I didn’t mean to imply that you specificly have privledge; most of my response is targeted to all you commenters as a whole who came after me. but perhaps… your privledge is your ability to remain ignorant in these troubled times. you’re the one who had to also poke fun at my “offensed” in your response. you’re a person of color, so why would you make fun of someone’s spelling error when many people are speaking english as a second language and still have broken language. I may just be a white girl typing on an iPhone with some weird auto corrections, but you’re still just ignorant.
and as for “throwing a shit fit” … don’t tell me you don’t understand this generation’s colloquial hyperbole when it comes to internet lingo. it’s what we do. we use caps lock to over emphasize things and multiple question marks in a row like it’s normal, even when we’re perfectly calm sitting in front of the keyboard. don’t tell me you actually think I was freaking the fuck out from the start. I got alarmed that so many people got offended by such a simple post bc they don’t understand white privledge. I only formluted this long response when I saw these insane responses from the peanuts gallery. god damn, it’s like when someone is egged on when they’re already upset and then they get accused of over reacting when shit hits the fan and they explode. you all can’t take time out of your day to reblog and add comments, which is the same as what I did in posting this, and then turn around and say I’m the one whose throwing a shit fit and should just move on and not get offended. I limit my daily social media intake. I go on hikes every day I’m able, focus on my studies, and focus on productive things. I decide to post about something I disagree with for the first time probably literally ever, and this is what happens. on the other hand once I made my first reply on this post it was like people were standing at the ready with all these replies back at me. that’s why I felt the need to type tl;dr shit out. say whatever you want back but you all really should educate yourselves before jumping down my back
I hate to burst your bubble, but you are racist for saying, “I hate white people.” Just as you would be racist for saying, “I hate black people,” or “I hate Asians,” or “I hate Latinos,” etc.
It doesn’t matter who you assume is privileged, or not and assuming all white people have privilege is extremely misguided and ignorant. Hatred towards any demographic for traits they were born with and cannot control is bigotry. Hatred towards any demographic for traits they were born with and cannot control is what leads to things like oppression and genocide. That’s where it starts, every single time.
It’s quite clear that you do not have a strong grasp of history which, I’m not blaming you for that because it’s something you actually have to research to know about as most schools don’t teach their students about the history of racism, oppression, genocide, and slavery around the world.
I simply can’t wrap my head around the logic that people get so outraged about racism against PoC (rightfully so), but then turn around and mock, ridicule, insult, and/or dismiss someone who (also rightfully so) takes issue with racist comments, or actions against whites. It’s not okay. It’s no more okay than any other kind of racism. Racism is racism no matter how you slice it.
What really sticks out to me besides the points I’ve already addressed is how you were in attack mode until I pointed out my ethnic background, simply because I have a problem with racist statements (and yes, that includes racist statements against white people). That was when you decided that I was worthy of being treated like a human being.
In a nutshell: You treated me with mockery, scorn, and dismissal when you assumed I was white. Then, you changed your tune when you found out I wasn’t. You treated me differently because of my race. That’s textbook racism.
I do agree that you shouldn’t be getting hate, or threats, or suicide bait, if that’s what you’re getting. That is never okay no matter how much I may dislike someone’s opinions and those people have some serious growing up to do.
I’m not going to keep this thread going because it’s long enough, but my IM’s are open if you’re interested in a discussion. I’ll be going to bed soon so I may not be available tonight, but I don’t have a problem chatting if people want to message me.
Damn

@noelleian
The entire subject of racism is way too deep and complicated for you to possibly make the assumption that I, somebody you know not one thing about, am racist. maybe if we had been mutual beforehand and you'd already formulated some opinions on me, then sure. but no, there's no way I'm gonna let you make that assumption and have all these right wing conservative people in the replies and reblogs thinking that about me as well. I hate to burst YOUR bubble, but the users making up this herd of sheep behind you in this post, literally clapping for you, seem to be WAY less educated about history than me and if you take a quick glimpse at their other content it'll become obvious. and yet here you are making someone innocent out to be the fucking devil. I'm engaged to a white man, I'm going to have fully white kids with him one day, and most of the people I love happen to be white, bc that's just the area I grew up in. if someone were to actually say something offensive or threatening toward white people or any race I'd be up in arms and try to stop the injustice. but I'll say it again, this minute tumblr post means absolutely nothing. I get it, I missed the mark in trying to equate the race problem and the societal perfectionism problem. my OP doesn't make much sense and I understand that now. but I still refuse to admit that saying I hate white people is as bad as saying I hate another race. you may know a lot about history but you have to connect that with how the world still is today (i.e. white privledge still exists!!!)
if a woman gets treated like shit by a man (and pretty much every single woman I know irl has been, not including myself) and then runs to tumblr and makes a post saying "I hate men!!!" does that mean she ACTUALLY hates ALL men? or is she perhaps just sick and tired of the injustices of the world? none of the other commenters on this post would understand this point as they're literally anti feminists and anti social justice, but you happen to be the only one who has common sense in my eyes. and knowing now that my sister is dead and gone forever because a white cop literally murdered her, I feel I have every right to that same kind of anger that the abused woman has. I'm not gonna go around irl saying I hate white people. I'm not gonna teach my kids such behavior. BUT I will come to tumblr to vent out whatever kind of frustrations I want even if through an innocent joke, as I've watched my family fall apart and cry and scream every day. that cop is roaming around free, and my sister's black boyfriend is currently in prison for the crime that the cop committed. no, I don't hate white people one bit. I'm typically against all kinds of stereotypes. when I see a poc on tumblr saying "I hate white people" I'm not like "fuck yeah!!! let's be racist!!!" but I'm more like "damn, I understand that I benefit from white privledge every day, and I feel you". I don't actually like the fact that the world is this way, but it is. before my fiancée and his little brother knew me, they were those "well meaning" white people who didn't mean to be racist against others, but absolutely were. but through patience, understanding of each other, and educating them both, they now both understand that their opinions from the past were harmful to other groups of people. I've heard white people shout the n word at the top of their lungs with the -er at the end, just for fun. but sure, keep trying to say I don't have a right to be infuriated with white people sometimes. upset that people who benefit from the same privledge I have are so unaware of it and remain grossly ignorant.
I don't think all white people have privledge, but they do have white privledge by default. I'm not talking about whites throughout the whole world as I'll straight up admit I'm not educated enough about the whole world to make that assumption. I know that racism is a tricky subject when it comes to places like Europe. but I can speak about what I know, and that is that in the US, every white person benefits from white privledge. my family is broke as hell at the moment, living off a generator, and struggling to get by. we don't have the privledge that others have, people who get away with not working and still getting by. BUT we have white privledge. when I buy weed (it's been a couple months as the money problem just started getting worse when my brother lost his job) I can still speed on the highway and and not have to as cautious about it as a black man would have to be with that shit. I volunteer with the drama department at my old high school, and one time I accidentally brought an ounce and a half with me to the school. do you think someone of color could ever afford to be so careless when handling bud? the jails and prisons are still filled with people of color who are in there for weed related charges! some of them are the most minor of offenses. white people are rallying and waiting for weed to become legal so they can make 25g bong rip vids on YouTube or whatever, while black people are literally waiting patiently in the hopes that marijuana legalization will be their chance at humanization. they just wanna be treated equally. my fiancée is literally laughing the the fact that I've been called a bigot; he says I "saved" him from being a racist white male who possibly would have went on to have racist kids if it weren't for me.
"What really sticks out to me besides the points I’ve already addressed is how you were in attack mode until I pointed out my ethnic background, simply because I have a problem with racist statements (and yes, that includes racist statements against white people). That was when you decided that I was worthy of being treated like a human being."
^ well again, if you look at literally every other commenter besides yourself, they ARE the kind of people I have a right to be in "attack mode" with. right wing, conservatives, anti feminists, etc. but then you explained yourself and to me it was like, "oh look, someone open minded worthy of having a discussion with". if I were to have replied to ANY of the other commenters that wasn't you, I promise you their response wouldn't have been educated or brought up any good points like yours did. do you see what you've done? you've painted me out to be some disgusting racist because I made one tiny comment, and now they're all feeding into it. these closed minded people are even less likely to change now that a poc agrees with them, and you're nothing but their fucking scapegoat. I msn not be the most educated or the best at discussions/discourse/speaking my mind. I don't have the best way with words when I'm typing without formulating every word carefully, but I AM the most open minded person, and certainly much more open minded than the people that are raging against me bc of this post. you also must note that my first reply wasn't tagged @ you, but the second one was. I chose you to respond to because of the teeth comment and bc I'm a DA, but like I already tried to explain in my last reply, the first reply was toward all of you commenters as a whole. it's like you ignored all of my good points from the last long reply, god damn. don't try to pretend like I was dehumanizing you before I learned of your ethnicities. if you think saying "LMFAOOO" once is dehumanizing, even when I already stated that I was talking to ALL of the commenters as a whole at first, you're just trying to remain willfully ignorant.
I'm usually the type of person that will apologize when I realize I was wrong about something, but I refuse to do so in this case. I admitted that my OP didn't really make sense and I was trying to equate two problems and it just didn't work. but that doesn't change the fact that all these right wing conservatives who got way too crazily butt hurt over seeing a white person type "I hate white people" need to educate themselves.
