Today's lesson, Racism. If you see something written here that you’ve said or done, use it as an opportunity. Take it as a wake up call and make the decision to grow, change and be conscious of your own privilege. Remember, I am not a speaker for the entirety of a people.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I’d like you to see two of the comments left on the Facebook page by those that see racism as “Just a joke.” Those that see putting information from someone’s Tumblr page into a post as a “Life ruining” event. Those that are racist and think racism is perfectly okay….
“Africans require help, it is obvious from there higher crime rates, higher abortion rate, higher interracial rape rate, lower test scores that they are being discriminated against. We must release the Black African Ape back into its natural habitat in Africa where it can flourish in its mud huts as it once did. To not would be racist for we are actively discriminating against them as white people by forcing them to rape, pillage, and steal.”
and the ever popular…

Because there are no consequences, this is encouraged and allowed. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CONSEQUNCES, THIS IS ENCOURAGED AND ALLOWED.
This is what you were DEFENDING when you defended those people last night.
The first one was deleted seconds after I posted this. That tells me that you are following me here. Here’s the thing about what you did, are doing and think is “Funny” and “Not a big deal.”
Some of us have to deal with this EVERY SINGLE DAY. These things that you think are funny are crippling for some of us. These things that you think are just a joke stop some of us from wanting to continue. The difference is, when a person has the information THAT WAS ALREADY ON THEIR TUMBLR PAGE put into a post, you call it “To far.” Yet, you do this. You ACTIVELY try and succeed in causing MANY people harm. Except, YOUR actions are encouraged and applauded as “Funny.” The pain YOU cause is called “Freedom of speech” and “Not a big deal.” Me, putting information that was ALREADY ON THEIR TUMBLR PAGE onto a post, is not okay.
THIS is why there needs to be consequences.
THIS IS WHY.
