Reasons being a cranky, socially awkward/anxious person who hates going to bars and clubs does not help: Missing the chance to see CARMEN FUCKIN’ CARRERA perform at a party hosted by the LGBT organization you do outreach for. >_< Other DC area and non DC area peeps please go to La Fiesta and various other Latino Pride events. Do it for those that can’t. ;~;

Youre wrong, and you know youre wrong. You dont know what racism is and you clearly dont get affirmative action. So just shh, you need a nap and to fuck off. Call me a reverse racist all you want, but my great grandmother was a princess of the mayovonwhitey tribe so…

In 1962— before Civil Rights legislation, when Black people were literally having their houses bombed for moving into white neighborhoods, and Black neighborhoods were being bombed in entirety for having nice houses, white people were literally releasing dogs on Black children (my parents) for walking to school, Black children and teenagers were literally leaving school to protest and then being arrested for demanding to be treated equally, police commissioners were driving through Black neighborhoods in tanks to instill fear in them for wanting to be treated equally, everything was separate with Black people getting the shittier end, they literally had lower education standards for Black schools and Black people were still getting lynched and the KKK was strong—
White people when surveyed said “there is equal opportunity“… So don’t think it’s weird that 93% or so of white people still think “there is equal opportunity” today. They’ve literally always been wrong and still are.

I love my ipod, nsync followed by juanes, followed by billie holiday.
I need more latin artists tho…
you can literally show white people how affirmative action doesn’t actually take away from white people and in fact benefits white women, using legitimate sources including government data, and most of them will still think they’re…
Ha. I’m sure you meant “explained” and not explained. Anyone can find statistics to fit whatever argument they need them for. Statistics are extremely pliable.
Nothing was proven throughout the entire conversation. I’m not trying to be oppressed at all? I’m not sure where you’re getting that from? I am pointing out that affirmative action is designed to eliminate systematic oppression. What it really does is facilitate racism, however. That’s it. It’s not a difficult concept, but apparently it is unwanted.
I’m so sorry I ruined your (insert minority here) pride blogs. Please forgive me for being white (which was an assumption on your part. I never mentioned my race…..who’s racist now?). I’ll leave you guys to find more statistics that fit whatever argument you were trying to make.
Congratulations on your opinions, they’re inherently racist!
Im just gonna reblog this as a prime example of what I was saying in my original post.
I literally proved someone wrong with various sources and they still think affirmative action hurts white people. This is.how hard white people will fight to claim oppression.
