Why White Privilege Should Die

Dear White People,

For those of you who "don't believe" in white privilege I call bull shit. You know it exists. You want to keep it that way you are enjoying the advantages.

For those of you waking up learning that white privilege exists because for some reason you never noticed before; ponder this for a moment. Having extra privilege in society is actually a hinderance to you and your future generations. 

As others will surely have to work ten times harder to secure a better life, you and your future generation bask in the glory of doors opening for you easily. Over time though, this will surely change. Those people of color who would have worked ten times harder to get to where you can get to makes them actually stronger by experience. As their numbers increase with this strength they will surely have the ability to finally be the door openers of society. Who do you think they will open doors to, the people who would not open doors for them?

Not only that, but as a white person you would think you could live off your skills and strength alone. Who really wants to be in a position where it was given to you and you never know if you truly were the most talented deserving person for that position? It is good to struggle and get knocked down. Everyone needs to learn how to get back up. Yes life isn't fair, so buck up and stop hiding from how hard life can be. Embrace hardship. You will know the true feeling of life with that hardship and gain further respect for yourself and others. Food for thought.

Reverse Racism Does Not Exist

Someone told me they deal with reverse racism all the time.  Knowing that they are open minded, do not believe racism should exist towards anyone I do not want to confuse their intentions.  It is just, a thought occurred to me.

Reverse Racism does not exist.  Racism exists period.  Someone created the term "reverse racism" as if it should be reversed back to one side only for one race.  That is not the case.  As long as people continue to teach racism and experience racism, racism will exist.  Period.  From all races.

In a culturally diverse society racism is nothing more than a slow demise to the society.  As we judge who should do what in society based off of skin, eyes and hair, we let go of the idea of who can do a job based of the best skills, knowledge and talent.  This is not a model of survival of the fittest because so many fit are being oppressed by weaker minds who simply thrive off of greed and had a long standing ancestral legacy of wealth.

I wonder if there is a divine reason for this that we all must learn from.  But I hope we learn from it soon before it is too late.
