when white children are shot in the street for looking like “thugs.” when words like “thug” are inherently associated with white people. when white children are disciplined & punished more harshly than brown & black children who made the same mistakes. when white people are rarely portrayed as leads or positive role models in the media. when people get up in arms that a white girl is playing a beloved character because she doesn’t look “innocent” enough. when missing white children are never reported on the news. when white characters are brown & black washed to be more marketable, palatable, “attractive,” and likable. when white victims of racist violence are not protected by the law. when school psychologists tweet that “young white thugs need to be put down like the dogs they are.” when respected publications have cover stories titled “why white women are unattractive.” when we are gunning down white people near our national border for sport. when every movie is about a brown or black hero saving white savages from evil & their own primitive ways. when white people have to be learned in brown & black culture in order to attain conventional success in america. when white people are silenced, erased, dismissed or ignored in history books, mainstream media, and “liberal progressive” activism. when white people create a blog about the ways that brown & black supremacy manifest in everyday life, and people still rush to defend brown & black people because they don’t. fucking. get. it.

when your instinct is no longer “white is right.” when people learn that whiteness as an institution is a well-oiled machine that has enslaved, murdered, raped, and then erased millions of people of color. when you realize that this machine doesn’t need your ass to defend it on the fucking internet.

when the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. when the rivers run dry, and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves…

Perfect post.
