welp


and if any of you white people respond with “wait but I didn’t do that. that was in the past”
i need you to check your privilege
and then drink bleach if you think your hands aren’t dirty

They’re not.
Guilt doesn’t transfer from generation to generation. I am not magically accountable for something my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather MIGHT have done. Also;

I love that there’s a blog called “this is white culture” that is solely devoted to bad things white people did, not their cultures at all.  So I guess I can make a blog called “this is black culture” and post gang and crime records and that’s 100% okay.  Or “this is Muslim culture” and make it all about terrorism.
But wait, you cry.  Not all black people are criminals and not all Muslims are terrorists.  That’s unfair!  And racist!
WELL GOLLY GEE DO YOU THINK SO?  Because saying that all white people are responsible for the Atlantic slave trade sounds pretty racist to me, given that, you know, that was between the African slaveholders and the British and Americans and had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my ancestors, who were incredibly poor farmers and serfs from Ireland and Lithuania who had to flee to America at around the turn of the century (by which time slavery had already been abolished in the US) because they were being treated like slaves.  Even if they had been living in America at the time when slavery was legal they wouldn’t have been able to afford a slave; in fact they probably would have been working with them in the fields and treated about the same, since the first slaves in America were actually white serfs.  But please, tell me more about how dirty my hands are because of circumstances surrounding my birth that I could not control and continue to treat me differently based on the color of my skin without actually knowing anything about my heritage, I’m sure that isn’t racist at all!

I think I’ve found my hero.

My family on my dad’s side came from Scotland to Wyoming in the late 1800s and early 1900s to become ranchers.  On my mother’s side they came from England in about the same time and traveled to Idaho to farm potatoes.  Before that my roots stay in those areas and barely scrape by.  Not a single person in my traceable family history has been part of anything involving the slave trade.  How exactly am I at fault for all of that again?

On my dad’s side, we came to the US after WW1.
On my mom’s side, our family fought for the north and never owned a single slave.. we were poor farmers and soldiers….

You guys should stop trying to use logic with a black racist.

But the best part ever- they always forget that not only did black tribes capture their own black slaves from other tribes- they are the ones who SOLD THEM TO THE WHITE PEOPLE.
People get too damn caught up in skin color. Just because someone LOOKS “white” doesn’t mean they are. It also doesn’t mean at some point in their life they were linked to the African slave trade.
I’m going to need you to check your history facts, but please, don’t drink the bleach.

sealcat:

do you ever just listen to someone’s problem and you have nothing to say except “I’m sorry” because there is literally no way for you to help and you get sucked into a vortex of guilt and despair because you are useless
