Reverse Racism is a myth created by racist white people

ethiopienne:

brazenbitch:

Who believe that sporadic, interpersonal acts of hostility from people of color is equivalent or relevant to the struggle of people of color from oppression.

Even if a person of color is hateful against white people, it has nothing to do with the thought of whites being inferior to people of color, but rather backlash from the harm whiteness has caused non whites, and non white cultures. 

We are enraged that our land has been stolen and occupied 

We are furious that our people are treated as second citizens, IF citizens at all 

We are infuriated that we are forced to assimilate, apologize, and dismiss racism in our lives for the sake of solidarity, to get jobs, to be successful, to be heard. 

So excuse us if we are belligerent, if we are militant in our speech and actions. We can’t afford to be otherwise. 

Bolding for emphasis mine.
