-You cannot be sexist toward men. Sexism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against men but you CANNOT be sexist toward them.
-You cannot be racist towards white people. Racism is based on a system of oppression. You CAN be discriminatory, rude, inconsiderate, and/or prejudiced against white people but you CANNOT be racist toward them.
This is not difficult.
Always reblog.

itsacrisis replied to your post: how do you justify using terms like “cracker” or “honkey”? (looks like i’m writing in hostile tone, just curious)How are they not racial slurs? Because they’re directed to Caucasians?
What history of oppression do Cracker or Honkey represent, especially since both insults were originally used by white people to insult other white people?
It’s not racist to used to phrase Cracker because there is no historic or social power coming from a history of oppression from it, same goes for honkey.
Does that answer your question?

- If you don’t physically hold someone down, you can’t be an oppressor.
- Racism is physically hating and acting on that hate based on a person’s race.
- White Privilege means you are rich and/or have an easy life.
- Pointing out racism is a racist act.
- Not knowing better is…

[shown above] Ruhal Ahmed, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, in an interview in which he discusses Omar Khadr. Ahmed stammers,
“I think he was a strong kid.
I think, you know, being much older, much older than him, I did feel that, sometimes, I needed to look out for him and I think so did the other prisoners around him feel the same. But obviously, being in Guantanamo, you can’t really look out for one another.
Uh, it’s, it’s, it’s difficult you know, today I’m here, and I’m, I’m thinking of, thinking of him and he’s still in prison and he’s still, still a kid. I don’t know really what I would say to him. It doesn’t seem, it doesn’t seem fair that he’s still there and, and I’m here.”
Khadr, a Canadian, was taken into US custody at the age of fifteen, tortured and refused medical attention because he wouldn’t attest to being a member of Al Qaeda, even though he was shot three times in the chest and had shrapnel embedded in his eyes and right shoulder. As a result, Khadr’s left eye is now permanently blind, the vision in his right eye is deteriorating, he develops severe pain in his right shoulder when the temperature drops, and he suffers from extreme nightmares.
Ahmed, who was imprisoned in the cell next to him for some time, reported that Khadr would return from interrogations (where he would be tortured) crying and would huddle in a corner of his cell with his blanket over his head.
Shafiq Rasul, another former Guantanamo Bay detainee, stated that although Khadr was forced to mature due to his harsh treatment and torture, he still had the mentality of a child. Guantanamo Bay’s Muslim chaplain James Yee confirmed this by reporting that Khadr had been given a Mickey Mouse book in a surprising act of kindness by one of his interrogators, and that he slept with it clutched to his (injured) chest. Muneer Ahmad, one of Khadr’s first attorneys, reported that at their first meeting at Guantanamo, Khadr asked for nothing other than colouring books, car magazines and pictures of big animals and played with the attorney’s ink pens and digital watch.
Khadr has been incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, and is now 25 years old.
If you want to know more about Omar Khadr, please check this out. Omar has himself said: “… if the world doesn’t see all this, to what world am I being released to? A world of hate … and discrimination.” He’s right, it is a world full of hate & discrimination, a world full of hatred towards everyone who isn’t white, Christian & straight.
Just saw a shining example of Sam Harris’ Islamophobia, and I think this speaks volumes on why it’s NOT OKAY.

Obviously not as good as Beyoncé’s though. But I’m much happier Lea Michele is singing it. I don’t like Amber Riley singing stuff too often because she does that black thing where she over sings everything.
Uh…you are aware Beyoncé does that “black” thing, too, because she’s 1.) black and 2.) does it way more than Amber does it. Wow, your racism is showing all the fuck out right now. Congratulations.
Yeah, whereas Lea Michele has an annoying, whiny, breathy voice that made me nauseous from the first time I heard it. Amber Riley is the best singer, by far, but there are others in Glee who are better than Lea.
