#BlackOutDay

Black out day was a day black people decided to encourage each other to post selfies of themselves, friends and family. A lot of people did not like this. There was nothing wrong with the idea of black out day and it wasn't inherently bad. Many people people are proud of how they were born and proud of people who share similar characteristics to them, even if theres no real reason for such pride. 

Now, even though the concept of Black Out Day was harmless and most posts therein were simply people celebrating themselves and people like them, A small minority used Black Out Day to target other people of other races. The peopled targeted were almost exclusively white people.

Some Going as far as to use racial terms

And when people of another race, again, in this case white created there own tag #whiteout to celebrate themselves that same minority forced itself on them.

But this wasn't the only reason people were against it. Many people regardless of race did not support it because they saw it as nothing as a small group of people defining everyone by their race. One of my favorite people on tumblr said it best in a message to me:

This blackout thing is contradictory because they are defining themselves with what they claim they won’t be defined by

- asimplemess

Shes very right, with how many people in the black community who say their race does not define them, they allowed themselves to be defined by NOTHING except for their race. We all understand you think your black skin is beautiful but why use it as your only defining feature? People in black out did not show off their intelligence, their support for the poor or disadvantaged in their community.  No, They showed support and love of nothing but the blackness of their skin, one of the most meaningless aspects of a person. One that is not unique, one that not does show the specialness of the person. They chose to celebrate themselves and belittle others by a characteristic that their forefathers spent a lifetime fighting to not be judged by.

Dont get me wrong, The people who used #whiteout for nothing but to antagonize black people were just as much in the wrong. 

Racism is not based on power. 

Racism is not based on representation.

Racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Everyone has the privilege to be proud of themselves.

People don't need to like what you're doing. Not liking something does not make you racist. I personally dont like selfies on my dash (unless their from a few specific blogs :P )  so having my dash flooded with random peoples selfies was annoying for me. It did not matter that they were black, had they been white they would have been equally as annoying. 

In closing, black out day was not bad from the beginning. It was the toxic attitude of a minority of people who chose to incite racial hatred that made so many people disagree with it.
