This is a personal post—this is not a post meant to be taken over and used as some platform for all of tumblr. These are my thoughts reacting to hurtful things said to me and about me, nothing else; I am not trying to dictate how anyone should think, act, or behave, I am not trying to say everyone should agree, because I know they won’t. I’m not trying to say people are right or wrong. I am merely trying to get my thoughts out, and to explain myself.
I know this is opening a can of worms and that all the people who hate me will use this as an opportunity to list the reasons I’m an ignorant asshole and why they hate me, but I get it. I get that you have honest, valid reasons to hate me, and I get that you don’t owe me anything, including kindness. I’m not asking you to like me, because I know you never will. And I’m sorry, truly I am, for anything and everything I’ve ever done wrong.
I distinctly remember you saying use Heath Problems instead of white people problems during that whole argument when you were being deliberately obtuse. I reblogged almost everything on my sideblog (that is not dedicated to u :*) so it’s in there somewhere.
So you’ve asked for help. People gave you explanations. And I still have your responses. Look, it’s not that hard to figure out what we meant. And honestly, once again, ONCE. AGAIN: we are meant to be your teachers.
Now this is the beginning of the white women’s tears that I linked to today. You said something fucked up and proceeded to defend that fucked up position. You got backed up by your friends which is understandable and normal but they had the same position as well but you were wrong.
And I’m sorry that you think you’re educated, but that’s not good enough. See, now you have a bunch of women (referring to my friends and I solely but a bunch of people as well) that have heard this time and time again and it hurts us because this shit doesn’t exist in a vacuum. But since you did comment on something that so many people believe and adds to the gross misconceptions of what racism is that does nothing to solve it, it is not easy to forgive.
If you know that it’s not my job to educate you, why do so many of you insist that I do? There are good days and there are bad days for all of us but sometimes the added pressure of worrying about hurting some white girl because of the color of your skin drives you over the edge. The week that the bullshit happened was the week that some bullshit racist article was published and several other bullshit things happened on this website.
So now things have piled up, not that it matters, and people are angry. And, it “implies that POC don’t attain the same level of affluence/success/whatever you want to call white people problems” is not what you said. But even so the existence of that term is kind of a defense mechanism and a use of sarcasm to make light of an annoying situation. You know what else it does? It opens up for self-awareness (link to this thing on it, I suggest you read it.)
And you also say: “but how can I change if you want to beat me senseless with hurtful words? How can I learn to be better when instead of educating me you show me intolerance and hatred and you mock me? When you make me afraid to go anywhere near these subjects?” Now, I’m trying to be calm but here is where I get fucking livid and on the verge of tears.
You have created this space on your own. You have created this issue. It is your responsibility to find a way out. You expect me to educate you when you were the first one who said these things? We’ve shown you intolerance and hatred and we mock you? Do you understand what telling this to a bunch of WOC means? I guess you don’t. And there in lies your immense privilege that is still showing. You’re afraid to go near these subjects?
Here is what you need to do: you need to read. You need to think before you speak and stay back. You need to understand that you will not be met with contentment when you say some fucked up racist shit. You need to realize that you saying this and people agreeing with you is a result of the overwhelming white thought in real life and off this website. You have been painted as the victim when you do not deserve my respect.
You say this website terrifies you. You say, “I’ll be wrong—and being wrong is akin to being the worst type of person there is. You are immediately the most hateful, horrible, waste-of-space person in existence, and it’s okay to call you awful things and make fun of you.” And you go on to say that we think you don’t have feelings. But now, everyone hates the POC that pointed out how fucking ridiculous and hurtful your initial statements were.
Whatever anons you get, you do not deserve because I have been attacked and I am constantly attacked on this website and that’s not okay. You say you don’t respond better to people who don’t attack you and show you the error of your ways. You know what? That has proven to be untrue by many time and time again. You should fucking take what you get because I do not have to be courteous to you when describing something has affected me since the day I was fucking born.
I am really sick and fucking tired of being told that I have to be nicer to people that are HURTING ME by existing. You know what I don’t do? I don’t do what I could. I keep my mouth shout on many an occasion. This is a very tone policing statement that you have written. You will not escape your past mistakes. Maybe in the future when I think you have been far removed from being an ignorant jackass I will like you. It has happened to me before. Some of the greatest people I know, I fucking couldn’t stand.
But they learned. And people learn. And what you wrote shows me you are not open to learning and that many people here feel the same. I am so sick so fucking sick of this especially when it comes to how my race affects my discourse with people on this website. It is almost always white people telling me to be nicer to them. You don’t fucking understand what it feels like to be told to be quieted every minute and treated like nothing. We have been painted as too angry and it is really painful to see. You have not been faced with hatred, just so you know. It could have been worse. I’m sorry this sucks for you but seriously? SERIOUSLY?
This is the internet. It is my outlet because I am twice as invisible in real life. It is where I can voice opinions. So being “rude” to you is cathartic because if not I would go back to saying fuck I am worthless and I should really be nice to this white girl that thinks she faces racism and forget and accept apologies.
If this is the only thing you have to deal with and say then fuck I would trade places. And I read some of the comments/replies to you and the agreements from mostly white people are so interesting
uprightcitizens said: Tumblr’s tendency to turn critical thinking and discussions into a cockslapping match is really starting to turn me off. There’s no respectful discourse, it’s just telling people why they’re dumb. Everyone is the worst and you don’t deserve it.
I wrote this on the matter and I suggest you read it too.
(Additionally, it has nothing to do with intelligence. I pride myself on my creativity more and my sociologically-inclined thinking but I think I am so far removed from intelligence. It is not to add pretention.)
Edit: I fear I wasn’t elaborate enough on the anon point. Anons shouldn’t attack you like that and spam you. And comments on your looks/gender (comments like: cunt, bitch, etc) should not be accepted but things that are antagonistic towards what you said/pointing out your ignorance/etc I do not think are bad. Being an asshole happens.
It is not “mansplaining” to defend the comparison between the treatment of war criminals and people who send sexual pictures
lol ok
harassment is totally kool, right?
*people who sexually harrass other women
u guys are REALLY obsessed with defending rich white men
- Randomly happen across a book list of published queer fiction.
- Notice a book on there that’s supposedly about an Arab kid.
- Sit up with interest—
- Until you see that the author’s name looks whitebread WASPy (though not “American” per se).
- Do the following expression:
- Try to find info on author by poking around on his site.
- Give up after a bit because the book blurb was boring and you don’t really need to read some (most likely) white dude’s inaccurate (and likely offensive) fictional account of a queer Arab (possibly immigrant) kid.
- Post this pseudo-rant on tumblr.
I fucking love getting re-enforcement that I should abandon any aspiration to pursue writing either in fiction or non-fiction. (not being sarcastic, next to “you fucking suck and tumblr/twitter has made you worse”, “You’re a white man and there’s enough of you creating bullshit out there. Dan Savage for fuck’s sake!” is one of my favorite reasons I tell myself that I should give up on doing anything other than wage slaving at mentally unchallenging jobs.)
0_o Okay. Welp. I am unsure how to interpret this.
See, for some context, this isn’t about you; there’s a ~thing in many US (cis, white) gay scenes that involves ~exotifying~ “foreigners” that just so happen to come from certain countries. I question why this author felt the need to name his main character Ahmed, especially if I highly doubt he knows more than offensive stereotypes of Arabs. And especially when he likely has no idea about the dynamics of being queer and Arab, let alone the other aspects of the culture.
I fucking love the idea that non-whites are supposed to hide any distrust we may have towards white authors writing about our experiences and getting published, because somehow that’s discouraging to white authors.
Never mind the fact that most publishing houses are run by white people who have all the prejudices of white racism, and that most books on POC that will get recognize are by white people, and that most books exported overseas are by white people. Never mind the fact that white people will write POC stories and get them wrong anyway and never be held accountable for it while POC who write really according to their experiences will get accused of not being authentic enough. Never mind that in all the history of publishing in the English-speaking world, white men have been lauded as the only ones who write good fiction, who write better fiction, naturally, than POC, who write really universal stories while POC can only write POC-specific stories and thus they are limited.
Never mind all that. To state distrust of a white author’s writing within a larger system and history of white people getting us wrong (and fucking us over at the same time) is to tell them to not write at all.
We ALL work hard at this writing gig. And we are ALL getting re-enforcement that we don’t belong in the business of writing, except for the lucky ones who, omg! are predominantly white.
Sorry, thefremen, but dunespicecat and jhameia have made important commentary that you need to take on board.

“All I’m getting from this sudden backlash to Tyler and Odd Future is a bunch of unhappy white women trying to say that “black boys shouldn’t be allowed to be boys”.”—
Deleted commenter Curt R. Conway.
Curt? A word. You go on to say that Tyler is “emotionally damaged,” and OH, the unhappiness, OH, the broken home, OH, the never being ALLOWED TO HAVE SUCCESS!!!!
“You’re attacking an emotionally damaged boy,” you go on to say.
Say, Curt. You know what’s emotionally damaging?
Rape. For real. That shit is emotionally damaging AS HELL. Misogyny. Abuse. Being told that you only exist as a body to be used. That shit, it emotionally damages one. To an extreme degree.
We don’t talk about that, Curt. Or, we do. But our vocabulary of empathy, it is… limited. We talk about cutters and needy bitches and feminazis and psycho ex-girlfriends. We talk about weakness. We talk about “a bunch of unhappy women” trying to make sure that “boys can’t be boys,” because fuck knows, if they’re unhappy, it’s their own fault, right? Fuck knows, those boys, they are SENSITIVE. And can’t we just see what THEY’RE feeling? Can’t we? Just once?
Have they ever looked us in the eye and begun to acknowledge the damage they’re creating, Curt? Have they, really? Have you?
(And yes, the race thing, as usual in the blogosphere’s Odd Future discussion, is functioning more or less as an ass-covering move. The feminists who have a problem with Odd Future have a history of calling out white men for their fucked-up behavior as well. Casting everyone who has a problem with Odd Future’s rape fantasies as “white” — when a substantial amount of their fans and boosters are white, as well — or even as a “woman” is completely off-base. We can talk about race any time you like. We just don’t get to talk about how “boys will be boys.” Because if this is what “boys” are, they shouldn’t.)
Because I know a little about unhappiness and emotional damage, Curt. I know what it’s like to be ripped apart by a boy who then walks away. Secure in the knowledge that, if we ever deal with the damage he causes, we’re gonna have to deal with it in the context of his “emotional damage.”
Fuck Tyler’s damage, Curt. Fuck his visitation of it upon girls, because they’re safe targets. Fuck a culture that sees “emotionally damaged,” vulnerable boys and girls who are just, well, weak.
And, to re-iterate, fuck Odd Future.

Wow idk who said this but that’s really unfortunate that this is another idea that all black boys will do these things or even rap about these things. Like I certainly do not agree with most of the critique surrounding him/them whether it be positive (talking about how great their music is and how we should ignore the lyrics) or negative (a majority of white women telling us how terrible he/they are; other things about their background coming into play not to mention how this obsession was started in the first place) but the core of this is so fucking backwards.
(via degausse)
Oh hey “fuck Odd Future I’ve probably only ever listened to Tyler the Creator and all the offensive stuff I can write millions upon millions of paragraphs about!!!!”
Tyler the Creator =/= Odd Future. I’ve covered this. You have a beef with Tyler, that’s fine. That’s understandable. You should. I do. But you don’t get to extend your feelings about Tyler’s heavy shit to Odd Future as entire group. It’s a collective of over 60 people—the majority of them don’t music and the ones who do don’t make Tyler’s type of music.
The quote above is fucked. I’m not a feminist but I’ve written enough about Tyler’s bullshit to know that it’s fucked. I’ve seen a plethora of backlash—good, sensible backlash—about TTC that came from both fans and non-fans. Some of it has been from POC (and was still fucked), some of it was non-POC (and was definitely fucked) and I can tell you straight up and down that RACE PLAYS A HUGE FUCKING PART IN TYLER THE CREATOR’S (and to some extent, Odd Future’s) CRITICISM AND IS NOT “AN ASS-COVERING MOVE.” It is a legitimate subtopic that should be discussed and will always be discussed by me because, judging from this comment, some of you are just. not. getting. it.
Maybe you think all criticism of rap or black men is written the same, but it’s not. Is it messed up to assume that all detractors of Tyler the Creator are “unhappy white [feminists]? Hell yes, and I’ll fight that shit. But pointing out that plenty of feminists—including one infamous Sara Quin—have insinuated that Tyler has NOT garnered any criticism due to his being “black and lower class,” that it’s unfair for any white person who criticizes TTC is deemed “racist” when the criticism in question is, in fact, pretty fucking racist—is also messed up. As a black woman of color who has been around the block, I am not surprised at the number of race-based bullshit that exists in the sphere of Tyler’s detractors. I am annoyed, however, when someone deems this as an “ass-covering move.” Fuck that.
And who the hell really calls out white men anyway? I’ve been saying this shit people: what Tyler is doing is extreme, but it’s not new. Do I support it? H E L L N O. But you cannot expect me to clap all these white feminists on the back for calling Tyler out when white male music artists have been getting away with this shit for a long time and I STILL have not see this level of anger and “fuck this fuck that fuck you” directed at them.
Fuck the idea that all black men make music like this, fuck the idea that Tyler’s “emotional damage” excuses his blatant bullshit. FUCK the dismissal of race in situations where it should be considered, fuck the dismissal of race-based crap in rap music because it has been going for way too long. Fuck the generalization of rap artists. I’m tired of talking about this shit.
You are fucking incredible.
And I will say it once and say it again, it is incredibly naieve to assume that if white men were doing this it would be the same. And it would be naieve to assume that if he were to attack black women’s bodies there would be this reaction. And it would be absurd to assume that if his fanbase wasn’t HEAVILY FUCKING WHITE there would be the same reactions.
I see through you and you are fucking transparent. That little thing you put into parentheses that you thought we didn’t notice: we did.
SO, HEY, WOW. FUCK YOU.
Yeah, no, feminists have never ever been critical of The Beastie Boys, Eminem, Nickelback, songs like Summer Nights or Baby it’s cold outside or Young Girl. Nope, there is never outrage except there totally is. Just like there’s always outrage about victims fighting back, but nobody has done it quite so blatantly as Rihanna did in “Man Down”.
See, this is frustrating because nowhere did I, or my friend, state that they weren’t. If you weren’t being sarcastic, I would outright disagree. But since I noticed it (and cheers to your condescension, by the way): yes, you’re right.
But I want to point out something here: black and white bodies just being presented is already a heavy issue. So I want people to take that into account, POC or otherwise. No matter what we have already formed opinions on men and women because of the color of their skin and it just so happens black bodies are heavily attacked in the media and are seen as aggressive.
Your other comment said:
I understand the historical context that can’t be removed here but I still think it’s valid to point out that The Creator is pro-rape, as is the conservative Christian image of the Creator (IE: God of Abraham). I honestly don’t think I should feel awful for stating that although I typically enjoy Donald Glover’s acting and think he’s a funny witty guy, it’s really fucking shitty that he thinks I should have been able to look on the brighter side and enjoyed being raped because “at least I got layed”.
Where I’ll give you that there is some serious racism at play is when Common is labeled as anti-women by the media. That’s just blatant and you sure as fuck didn’t see feminists jumping on that band wagon.
And it’s not that the historical context cannot be removed it’s just that it seems to me that it’s brought up when it’s convenient for a lot of feminist critique and ignored and pushed down when it is not. First we have two white women, and many others, accusing a whole group of black kids on use of their language (when, as my friend pointed out, they are not a monolith and additionally there is a woman there) and that no one is calling them out because they are black and poor.
I cannot even describe how offensive that is to read and how fucking inaccurate that is. Then we have this reply from Sady. I don’t like her that much but I have agreed with a lot of what she has had to say surrounding them/TTC. I have no problem with this. My womanist friend above knows the issue. What I do have a problem with is calling talking about race covering their asses. It’s dismissive as fucking hell and it’s so full of privilege.
So now you want to act as if we’re on equal footing because of the color of our skin? Since when was that? How is that fucking okay. I am going to say this: he is getting as much shit as he should (deserved or not) because he is fucking black. That’s it. That is why the criticism is so heavy. And it’s even worse because the consumers are white middle class teenagers. Their fanbase is largely white and that is an uncomfortable situation. How can you deny that?
Someone here once said (quoting loosely): make no mistake about it, rap was okay until their white children started listening to it. And I’m sorry but it’s true. I have seen this constantly and it hurts me because black men are seen as dangerous and extremely aggressive. And the core of that quote is hurtful and disgusting because that’s not okay. Because black boys are fucking human beings and these things just serve to remind me that white people think we are garbage. I’m getting extremely frustrated with the language surrounding all the critiques of black artists.
We don’t do anything good enough for you and to assume that the critiques between white artists and black/POC artists is anything fair is absurd to me and it is a fucking lie.

asshole says something wrong
i said no
asshole rbs with she is fat and ugly (and reblogs a bunch of personal shit with him and all his annoying-ass friends)
i say hm what does that have to do with anything
friends say that that doesn’t make sense. leave things in his ask (not anon or attacking i dont have fans omg!!) explaining that
he says more bullshit
bla bla bla assholes on the internet don’t know how racism/sexism works
“You made fun of her appearance! You don’t know what you’re talking about!”
I argued my point, she didn’t refute it. The argument was done.
Guess what I did after? I made fun of her for calling me stupid despite me explaining my argument in very neutral language by calling her ugly. I’m sorry, white privilege, I shouldn’t talk about ugly people if I’m not ugly, that’s uglyism!
You knew were doing, don’t be dense. It’s not a neutral word, it’s loaded language.
And you followed them up with flippant remarks about my race and previously you said fat and ugly (though you deleted it but I have it buddy.) You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about but you keep going to defend something that won’t ever be true.
I didn’t want to refute anything because you’re a jackass and I don’t feel like explaining things to someone who is too dim to understand.
