Reverse Racism isn't Real

But y'all already knew that.

You all have got some damn nerve, let's just start there.

Reverse Racism never has and will never be a thing, so please save yourself the embarrassment and keep your mouth shut for further years to come. Racism against white people can't exist because of systematic power. Power that black people & PoC do not possess. If a group of people has little or no power over you institutionally and systematically, they definitely cannot define the terms of your existence, and they sure as hell can’t limit your opportunities. So tell me why you want to experience having an entire system against you so badly?

Why do you crave to feel racism? Because you absolutely have no idea what racism is. You are so angry when people tell you reverse racism doesn't exist and it baffles me. Are you angry that you are being treated as actual human beings? That you are treated more than fair, that you are not talked down to as if you were lesser human beings, that you aren't judged solely by the color of your skin, but by your actions? And even then when your actions are negative, we are still told to give you the benefit of the doubt, a privilege marginalized groups are not afforded.

Where is our equality? Because I'm pretty sure we're all in agreement that we've been asking for centuries now. If you're a white person who believes that equality means revenge on white people that is your personal problem. You feeling that way is a reflection of yourself, and that ain't got shit to do with me. Black people and people of color wanting true equality isn't taking anything away from white people, but you know what it will do? Help dismantle white supremacy and white privilege.

And in light of recent bullshit events (which I'll discuss in a future article,) isn't that something any DECENT human being would want? Wouldn't you want to see something that relies and capitalizes on the continuous fear and oppression of Black people & PoC to keep white people in control of resources and power cease to exist? I know I would!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
