How the hell is anybody NOT AFRAID of spiders? I have been shot at, I have had explosive devices detonated near and around me, I have been exposed to tear gas, been beaten within an inch of my life, and stared death in the FACE again and again... and I still jump when I see a PICTURE of something with eight eyes.

I am he who faces spiders when they are near

I capture or kill as needs must

For spiders are little more than eight legg’d dust

And dust is nothing to fear

Why the fuck even put that in there then? I wasn't mad before, I'm fucking mad now. Why would you roll me in with fucking Nazis? Because I'm fucking white and I don't roll over for divisive race bullshit? You know what, fuck you and your lame Tumblr. You're a bigger racist than anybody I've met in recent memory.

You went out of your way to make the same bullshit ass arguments that literally 50 other people wanted to make to instead of addressing actual systematic racism decided to come whine to PoC about how not ALL white people because your fucking feelings are hurt? Because instead of trying to fix structural racism you want to talk about how you, a white person, lived in an all white town and works a desk job so you can’t start a revolution or some shit? Like bitch, welcome to the god damn club. THIS one I will publish only to show people how fucking whiny everyone I have had to deal with is because you fucking feel attacked for being lumped into a group of fucking oppressors who feels like you are some god damn saint because you don’t call people niggers and deserve a gold star.

So here it goes.

I literally do not care about your feelings regarding how you feel attacked for having to address your status as a white person in a country that is founded on and thrives on white supremacy

Instead of bitch to PoC about how you’re totally one of the GOOD guys, you could have actually listened to the advice I gave regarding how you can start by addressing the structural racism you thrive on and ignore in your daily life. But god forbid that causes you to address your own racist beliefs you hold (which you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be sitting here crying about how ATTACKED you feel) because you want to feel so god damn special for being a white guy who can see that racism exists but like, casual racism doesn’t so why do I gotta feel bad about not telling my friends and family to stop being racist dicks?????

Because here’s the thing buddy. When other oppressed groups discuss in a public venue how they feel attacked in regards to certain behaviors that groups in power exhibit and that I am part of, I don’t decide to whine to them about how I’m TOTALLY not like that so they better stop being mean!!!!! I instead listen to what they have to say, examine my own behaviors and how I can go about changing things that are problematic (even if I don’t personally exhibit them to be so), and then help educate other people because not all oppressed groups or people even have the goddamn privilege to raise their voices. And if I’m not guilty of said behaviors then guess what? They aren’t talking about me and I don’t need to PM them to talk about how they made me sad cause I was totally rooting for them

And if this is your entire fucking reason for deciding to stop listening to PoC, because your god damn feelings are hurt, then maybe you aren’t a fucking ally in the first place.
