Tonight I was hit with a hand full of eggs and huge rock on my back and called “Nigger” by a white guy in the backseat of a dark blue truck as I was riding my bike on Westheimer and Jeanetta. They drove too fast for me to get the license plate number. I had to get a cop to drive me home. This night makes me wonder how blacks did it back in the day, and why the community is looking the way it is now. I am trying not to cry, but I am in physical pain from the rock and not understanding why I deserved this.

uugh

Reblogging because solidarity.

You don’t know me, but I got your back, any day, any hour, any minute. 

I once saw a large truck full of african american males switch lanes, come towards where I was standing on the curb in the rain and purposefully go REALLY fast to hit a large puddle to make it splash me, then saw them roll down the windows and point at me as they laughed. 

I am a single white female. I hate to bring race or anything into this and I am sure white people are just as much as ass holes but racism of any kind HAS GOT TO STOP it’s not okay no matter what race you are to hate on any other races! I have been targeted SO MANY times because I am white and female, mostly by men either white OR black doesn’t matter. 

I remember once I was in a long line at McDonalds, I would have been next to be served when another lane opened up and the clerk motioned to me to step over to be served. I moved, HUGE black guy who just walked in the store (I saw him enter cause of the position of the doors) Tried to shove me away so he could get helped first. I might have made a face but I know I said, “I have been waiting I was next” he said, “I was clearly here first.” I said, “No you just came in I’ve been waiting in that line.” He gets REALLY uppity and starts shouting, “WELL WHEN YOU’RE WHITE YOU’RE RIGHT” and starts throwing this huge fit. 

The cashier (she was black) tells the man that he’s being immature and that she clearly saw I was next and motioned for me to come over, that bringing race into this was not an issue. The guy would just not shut up about me being a white princess and spoiled, when dude I was at the same McDonalds he was in the same bad part of town where I always hung out cause clearly princesses eat at McDonalds in Downtown cleveland. Anyway he had to be removed claiming racial discrimination when even the other people of his race were looking at him like he was a total idiot. 

Like I said this has to stop, so I reblogged to share your story as well. 

the only thing that needs to stop in this particular conversation is YOU whitey-o

Bitch how did this become about you getting your sammich late? GET THE FUCK OUT!

Only in White Supremacist America can getting splashed and being cut in line can be compared to getting pelted with rocks and called a racist slur.

Did that deraling bitch really just use the word “uppity”?! Are you fucking kidding me right now? Does this person really not realize what they are saying? like…NO, you getting splashed with water and cut in line IS NOT THE FUCKING SAME AS HAVING EGGS, ROCKS AND RACIAL SLURS THROWN AT YOU, WOW, YOU NEED TO STOP AND GO SIT DOWN AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE.

And like, it is never, ever okay to use the word uppity when you’re referring to Black people, like, seriously, can you like, read a book or learn a thing or two about racism, dear god. 

Read the bolded. Don’t derail this. If you’re white, don’t make it about you. Just send love and support this person’s way, reblog to get the story out, and listen. 

My love, support, and good energy are going out to this person for having to go through something this horrible. You don’t know me, bevin, but if there’s anything I can do, anything you need, my inbox is open. You name it, it’s done. 

I was so annoyed by the derail I tldr’d it. “Uppity” on top of it. The pure indignity of some individual black person cutting in line is NOT the equivalent of say…being pelted with rocks and eggs. And a person giving you an attitude = “uppity”? You know what slur usually follows that term, right?

It’s bullshit that you had to go through this. It’s more bullshit that a white person derailed this terrible experience to make it about them. Dear fellow white folk, don’t compare some bullshit experience you had where you experienced a mild inconvenience with racism actions like this. Don’t do it. It minimizes the realness of racism. Minimizing racist experiences further dehumanizes someone who is already treated as less than human.
