@whitespeak
wow
somehow i managed to gain access to this blog again (after having handed admin off to someone else) by using a join group link from 2018, because tumblr truly is made from spit and elmer’s glue.
i think the time for this blog has probably passed, especially with how slowed down tumblr has gotten. i still think about it and visit it from time to time so i’m amazed i actually can post on it again.
if anyone remembers little ol’ us and wants to send in an ask though, i’m down.
(kid in my class) Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
Whitespeak for: I hate those terrorist black lives matters people, doing such heinous acts as asking for racial equality and protesting in the streets >:( They even destroy property! Truly nothing and no one could do any act more horrible than that. Lynching, school shootings, the KKK, what are those?
"Oh you're Indian?? That's so cute!! What tribe are you from??? Wait, what do you mean you're from the COUNTRY India?? That's a thing?? Where is it, Africa?? Oh, it's in Asia. That explains why you're so smart for someone like you" --my idiotic teacher from years ago
whitespeak for: “So wait, are you telling me that even though I’m a teacher I was ignorant of multiple races of people’s history, as well as basic geography? Well then I guess it’s a good thing my students are smarter than I am. But what do you expect? Of course you’re smarter than me, you’re Asian!”
[in response to a long, very polite email I sent to an online clothing retailer, about how I’m sure they weren’t doing it on purpose but to please stop using the word g***y in descriptions, including a link to a long post by an actual Romani person about how hurtful it is even when done with good intentions]
“Thank you for taking the time to email us. This has been addressed in the past with [site] and more than one poll was taken on our Facebook page. We are not using the term in a derogatory manner and to date, have not received any complaints from Romani people. We appreciate your feedback.”
whitespeak for: “Don’t worry, we said that we aren’t using it in a derogatory manner, which means it’s not a slur. Besides, all the (probably white) people who follow us on Facebook say they aren’t offended by it, which must mean that it’s ok!… The person in the article doesn’t count.
"I used to have a friend who looked just like you! She was a cute little asian girl, too. I think she was Chinese?" –my white friend's older sister while talking to me, a Vietnamese person,
Oh you asians are just so cute and adorable, like little identical dolls! I used to have a dol–I mean a friend like you. She was probably made in China, but you know how interchangeable all those places are, ahahaha! I wonder why we stopped being friends though?
"i don't know why you're complaining since things could be a lot worse"
Whitespeak for: “After all, we could be blatantly killing and raping (insert race here) and on a much larger scale too. Now we’re nice enough to only do it occasionally on the dl, and we even deign to act concerned.”
my trump voting uncle about my dog who is originally from Tijuana: "well at least she's not a Syrian dog"
Whitespeak for: “Terrorism is contagious. It can even spread through dogs. That’s why we need the Muslim ban. Not including the Muslim-free countries like Saudi Arabia of course!”
Wait, what happened with manslator? I've never followed them so I'm a bit behind
Here’s a link to our post, and the relevant post here.
I just wanted to say how happy I am about your reaction to the acephobic manslator fiasco. I was feeling pretty icky about it since I really enjoyed them and found you and other similar spinoff blogs that way. This made me feel loads better, so thanks! (I want to say something like 'keep up the good work' but I can't make it not sound patronizing. Erm...) Anyway, I really admire you guys.
Yeah, it’s pretty unfortunate what happened :’D The best one can do is try to react better oneself and move on, I suppose. Thank you for your support!
"You're Indian? You don't...look Indian? What tribe are you from? Oh, you're not Native American? Cool -- but what tribe are you from? Do you speak...Indian? Speak some Indian for me."
Whitespeak for: Since you're not actually white you can be my own personal Siri! I love hearing exotic languages even if I have no fucking clue as to which culture they belong to. So Siri, talk to me.
I'm mixed race mexican american and my grandma calls me a "pea picker"... i can't find any sources that say this is racist in origin but knowing her, it seems like it has to be. Pls help?
Here you go, friend.
palominocorn replied to your post “I’m a white woman, talking to her mother about police brutality and...”
I'd like to point out that the VAST, VAST MAJORITY of the white people killed by police are DISABLED OR NEURODIVERGENT! So it isn't about "reverse racism" it's about ableism!
This is an extremely good point!
I’m a white woman, talking to her mother about police brutality and how cops are allowed to murder unarmed poc. This is unfailingly her response: “But we have to remember how *hard* it is for cops to do this job!”
Whitespeak for: Oh my, won’t someone think of the dear policemen? They just have it so hard, having to not kill or maim anyone every time they interact with non-whites. Sure they have years of rigorous professional training to deal with dangerous situations, but everyone has little oopsies now and then where they accidentally murder a person or two, don’t they?
funny because white people are killed 2x more then blacks while blacks are more likely to commit crime and encounter cops, cop killings of blacks have gone down by 78% in the last 30 years while white killings have gone up and cops are 6x more likely to die by blacks then blacks to cops. imagine the people entering war zones because black on black crime and violence is so high and seeing young kids/innocent people dead in drive by’s and then for fighting against crime means you are “attacking black people” because no one wants to accept that blacks are 13% of the population and responsible for over 50% of crime and violence and the leading cause of death to there own ethnicity. this “whitespeak” crap is not only extremely cringey but racist
1. Yes, police killed 2x more white people than black people (in statistics from 2015). But black people are 3x more likely to die at the hands of police.
2. In 2015, freaking 41 officers died in the line of duty and the estimate is 14 of the perpetrators were black. 508 black people were killed that year by police. So ??? at that 6x shit.
3. 69.7% of the total arrests in 2015 were of white people.
4. White people are also the leading cause of death for their own race. But no one ever talks about white on white crime. Wonder why.
5. I’d love to see a source on that 78% statistic that’s not your ass.
6. Lol @us being the racist one here.
1) Criminology professor Peter Moskos looked at the numbers of those killed by officers from May 2013 to April 2015 and found that 49 percent were white, while 30 percent were black. “Adjusted for the homicide rate,” says Moskos, “whites are 1.7 times more likely than blacks to die at the hands of police.” so no that statistic is wrong.
2) sorry its actually a lot higher. his is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to Mac Donald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.
3) arrests have nothing to do with violent crime and polices use of deadly force. whites are around 68% of the population where as blacks re 13%. blacks “commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime” in New York City, even though they consist of 23 percent of the city’s population. considering the millions of laws I would imagine whites should have higher arrests but the topic is violent crime that would lead to killings
4)This is why-the left’s rebuttal is that 84 percent of white homicide victims are killed by other whites, but The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley points out that the white crime rate is “much lower than the black rate."There were almost 6,000 blacks killed by other blacks in 2015.By contrast, only 258 blacks were killed by police gunfire that year. about 90 percent of black homicide victims were killed by other black people. The “white-on-white” murder rate that same year — homicides in which a white person was killed by another white person — was 82 percent and that is with a 50+% difference in population numbers.
5) "In the past 50 years, the rate of black Americans killed by police has dropped 70 percent. In 2012, 123 African-Americans were shot dead by police. There are currently more than 43 million blacks living in the U.S.A. Same year, 326 whites were killed by police bullets. Those are the latest stats available.” from (fox news)
6) yeah using derogatory terms to discriminate against white people by using “whitespeak” is racist and is a form of saying whites are inferior for the way they say thing compared to others that they need a translation. it is like someone making a ghetto talk where someone talks in ghetto slang to translate normal educated talk
1. Criminology professor Peter Moskos lied. I realize that's an editorial page but look at data from other sources: the numbers don't lie.
2. Macdonald's methodology is also hilariously flawed.
3. This is literally the only semi-good point you make. You have a point about the arrests. The crime statistics in NYC are here and your statistics appear to be correct, more or less. But when it comes to "violent crimes that lead to killings" (homicides), white people are still in the lead across the country. I'll be nice and link you the numbers again.
4. Ah, Jason Riley. Being disgustingly racist since 2014. His numbers are atrociously off and you can fucking see it in the homicide rate graph.
5. Oh look, Bill O' Reilly also happens to be talking out of his ass!
6. lollll
7. I'm tired of debating with someone who doesn't want to source (as in link) anything they say, making me do the work for them. So this will be my last reblog about it; I don't really care if you reply.
my dad alwsys uses (pardon my french) ni**er and claims 'it's okay bc ne*ro was the word used by slave owners so that's the offensive one'
Whitespeak for: Of course n*gro is the offensive word! At least, that's the way I like to look at it! After all if we have alternative facts, why not alternative history?"

thank you for the heads up on manslator. :( missed that drama and don't want to support that kind of person (how dare someone call out her, a queer woman - really??)
Yeah no prob! Also I'm gonna take this time to say I just blocked an aphobic blog from seeing us, so if anyone else wants to comment with aphobic stuff feel free! I'm not gonna reply or anything, but I look forward to using the block button more.
I know that we are a blog about racism, but in light of recent things that @manslator has said regarding aro/ace and bi people (x), we will be rescinding our support of that blog.
