Now ask yourself…

cassandrashipsit:

• Have I blocked more fans of color than I’ve followed?
• Did I ever follow any in the first place? 
• Do I even follow any now?
• As a white person, do I get offended when fans of color (particularly black fans) tell me my opinion about racism doesn’t count?
• Do I lash out at them for not being “respectful” enough when they correct me?
• Do I dismiss them because I think they’re rude, even though I DON’T have any business putting my two cents in?
• When racism rears it’s ugly head in fandom, do I boost the posts of fans of color, or do I write my own dissertation on the subject, even though I don’t have any fucking lived experience of racism?
• Do I regurgitate the words of black women to look “woke”?
• Do I criticism White Fandom™ while ignoring criticism of myself from fans of color?
• As a non black PoC am I contributing to anti-blackness with non critical reblogs of problematic meta, head canons, fanfic, or fan art?
• Do I reblog white washed art without negative commentary?
• Do I long for the “good old days” where people didn’t get offended by posts that are “no big deal”?
• Have I ever used the term colored?
• Have I ever used the term mulatto?
• Do I present myself as an expert on fandom racism and how bad it is?
• Am I a fucking hypocritical piece of shit who tries to malign black women because they won’t accept my tepid ass non apology?
• Do I use personal hardships or trauma as a shield against valid criticism even though one has not a goddamn thing to do with the other?
• Do I sit back and nod when fans of color make posts like this, or do I reblog them to boost them and show my support?

If you answer yes to one or more of these, you need to sit your ass down and fucking listen instead of jumping into the fandom racism discourse like you have ANY business being there Becky.
