#Passive aggressive racists

[proudonyx]

22. Have you ever been in trouble with the law ?

Yeah. I'm currently trying to beat a domestic assault charge.

Canadian police is not any different from the American they very much so arrest female victims of domestic assault because it's easier to traumatize a woman then to hold another man accountable. I'm terrified by the femicide rate of women of colour in Canada, especially Indigenous peoples. They don't even care, they call femicide gender related violence. If they don't use the word rape, they call it sexual assault which I feel like everyone with the brain knows that rape and sexual assault are too very different things and to not validate victims it's disgusting.

If there's anything I've noticed, is that Canadians are passive aggressive gaslighters with their racism. I'd rather you look me in my face and call me a porch monkey rather than being passive so you can still benefit from society and people of color but still hold their disgusting views. Imagine working in healthcare with someone she pretends like they have your back and respect you and then out of nowhere start talking about how brown people are stupid and take the jobs as if I'm not a young black woman. They honestly think it's okay or I must hate myself n other round people... Being a person of color in Canada is emotional and mental warfare that trickles down into your physical health.

To all the people considering giving Astarion some cute nickname; I need you to know that "Asta" IS very sweet, but also very much a name in swedish. Specifically a name you wouldn't guess any woman below the age of 70+ to have. Just so you know. Asta is the kind of lady who might give you a candy at the bus stop but also might call you a slur. But yeah.

Another day another popular post that began as cowardly condescension towards a Black person/creator on Tumblr 🙄

our roommate acts like an actual child. how the fuck do you survive to adulthood so conflict avoidant and so fucking fragile...?! i have NEVER encountered an adult who acts like this irl. it's like they manifested physically from the "adult liberal white gays who exclusively read heartstopper" area of the internet. ive never liked when people use 'tenderqueer' as an insult and i still don't love it but i understand it now. i am about to start ripping my fucking hair out.

Saying that a POC fan is "hyper aware" for bringing up valid concerns about Taylor's track record on race issues is a microagression in itself and part of the kind of behaviour that makes POC fans feel alienated in her fandom.

I’m sorry - all I meant was that a fan of color would be more wary of or sensitive to these things being issues than a white person because it’s related to things they actively deal with; as an LGBT person I would literally say about myself that I’m hyper aware of anything pushing on an LGBT issue compared to most. It wasn’t meant to be at all!

That post about how society doesn't like to see an intelligent Black person brought back the memory of that pale blond boy stealing my math homework while I went to the bathroom in ART CLASS cause he decided not to do the work itself and accept just taking a 0 for that ONE assignment. The violation of my belongings when he decided to go into my backpack to see my work still pisses me off to this day since there wasn't any level of decency to at least ASK. Disrespectful af and in line with how alabastards are raised to expect to just take from Black people. Huge fuck you to [redacted]

Also brings back the old blond alabastard sub who marveled at how "articulate" I am (I didn't know at the time that it was a racist comment -- despite living in NC all my life I was in an urban area and my family aren't from the south so I guess the old prejudiced broad was used to images of Black people as unintelligent n******)

Reminds me of the white mediocrity that plagued many of the boys in my high school who assumed they would get accepted into [top state university] but didn't -- while of course my Black ass somehow also got into [prestigious private university]

And fuck you to that white Latino boy who was in my 2019 summer program who essentially questioned me on how I ended up getting into my prestigious undergrad university. I by no means have any legacy at these places, so of course I did well in school and had some extracurriculars like the rest of the marginalized folks that went to my university, dummy

Ahhhh lads

Sometimes, sometimes, you have to remember not to accidentally be racist when calling someone an idiot

[kagazuka]

i love being microaggressed! i love being called asian slurs that dont even match my ethnicity!! i love white people!!!! I LOVE WHEN WHITE PEOPLE TELL ME LIFE IS EASY!!

[melivora]

“y’all are never happy lmao” such refreshing British ignorance. POC don’t have to be satisfied with fanart that fetishizes them, especially when it’s happening a majority of the time. Grow up ❤️

I'm "POC" but you saw that I'm English and assumed I wasn't. Cry harder ❤

Buddy, when racist cunts illegally prevented me from registering to vote by just refusing to accept my papers, I PROMISE YOU shitty guilt trip memes about my inability to vote made everything worse.

You know what ACTUALLY helped?

More than every passive aggressive shit for brains on this website telling me I deserve to me racially harassed for not giving Democrats my soul?

A fucking email from a fucking HERBS AND SPICES STORE that unlike you wretched cunts ACTUALLY HAD VOTER REGISTRATION HELPLINES IN IT.

Every time one of you godforsaken freaks tells me to 'get out and vote' like its cutely trivial and didn't take months of desperate phone calls just to register (IF my registration even WORKED THIS TIME).

If you, like me, are struggling with registration or poll access, try contacting your STATE board of elections.

Request that they send you TWO copies of their registration guidelines. Collect any documents listed in them.

Then, contact your LOCAL board. Tell them you would like to register IN PERSON IF POSSIBLE.

Bring your documents and the two copies of the guideline AND a working cell phone.

If you get ANY trouble AT ALL tell the local person you will call the state board to confirm their registration requirements. Be polite, but do not leave. Put the phone on speaker.

Most of the time, the local person who is doing Actual Serious Federal And State Crimes will give up at that point. If not, the person at the state board will generally outrank and overrule the local one.

Make a note of the names of both the local and state official.

Then, and this is the most important part:

CONFIRM YOUR REGISTRATION WAS FILED.

It may take a day or two for your registration to appear.

Unfortunately, if it's been a week, you're going to have to repeat the process.

Take the names you noted previously, and contact the state board again. Report that these people denied you registration on this day, in spite of you providing these documents, then list all the required papers you collected.

The person at the state SHOULD be able to direct you from there, but the process varies hugely by state.

Good luck to you all.

ETA: I was able to vote eventually, BTW. It took far more work than it should have. Physical injuries were sustained. But I did get to vote!!
