So, I was really busy this weekend and I saw some of the responses to my “Hate Breeds Hate” post. And, wow.

I’ll meet you people halfway and admit that yes, people who haven’t been white have, at some points in history, done bad things. But do those things have ANY relevance now? Are the descendants of Egyptian slaves still living in poverty because of Egyptian slavery? I mean, come on, don’t be obtuse. Social justice is specifically referring to modern times and current injustices. The reason we often relate current injustices to history is because many things white people have done hundreds to thousands of years ago are STILL having effects on POCs today.

In addition, I find it particularly interesting that in the face of so many social injustices, all people can do is spend their weekend googling POC warlords like “omg look i found a bad poc!!! oppression not real! omgggg”

I’m aware there have been violent POC rulers in history, although two things: 1.) the majority of violent POC rulers happened after white colonization and thus it’s partially an effect of white colonization (see: Idi Amin) and 2.) the ones that happened before white colonization have no relevance in modern times.

Thanks for reading, and thanks as always for sympathizing with da poor opprezzed crackers.
