Reverse racism does not exist
No, not even when you go into a “different part of town” and feel scared
No, not even when people of color make fun of you for being white
No, not even when you are a minority as a white person in any context, ever
And this is because you can leave that situation and it won’t affect you anymore, unlike ACTUAL racism, which is pervasive and...

Things I need to remind myself of
Embrace your differences. Do not fear them, or what they mean. Do not believe that it means you will never find a place in society - if your place in society is being different, so be it. That place has often been inhabited by the artist, the shaman, the dreamer, the healer, and the catalyst for change.
You have long since realised that you will never be happy following others. Embrace that too,...

[TW: Examples of violence and racism] deliciouskaek:
I think that people who are tired of hearing about racism aren’t just tired of people talking about it. I think they’re tired of how uncomfortable it makes them feel. I think they’re realizing that a lot more goes into being racist than dragging someone for a mile or so behind a truck, hanging up nooses in their places of business, or calling...

Just going to throw this out there
I’m the kind of person to usually join a website, use it every day for about a week and then forget all about it. It’s very rare that I actually stick around for very long in one place. Tumblr is one such place. Menewsha is another. Menewsha is an avatar based forum website, sort of like Gaia except smaller, much more personal and generally a lot nicer. People actually get banned...

10 Ways to Love Others
ohapoeticsoul:
Some guidelines for loving:

2. Be authentic, and give others the gift of the real you and a real relationship. Ask your real questions. Share your real beliefs. Go for your real dreams. Tell your truth.
3. Don’t confuse...

Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.

Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one...
