White privilege is real, white washing done daily, lack of minority representation is disgusting, and it's disgusting that POC have to work so much harder just to be seen as "good enough".
At some point though, I have to side eye lots of the comments I read.
Outrage, anger, frustration, and the need to vent is justifiable--there's no refuting that. Also, reverse racism is bullshit, though some of the shit I read on here (daily) causes me to do a lot of side eying.
I guess, for me, it's a daily struggle to not become the very thing I detest.
/meh
Lately I've actually been feeling like I might need to take a break from ONTD because some of the things I've been reading have been "negatively" influencing my mindset when it comes to race and racism, if that makes sense?
I agree but complaining about it on a gossip site does go as far as having this convos in real life.
Aint nobody got time to make them feel at ease when the police shoots our kids, arrest us, the social system doesn't care for our needs, were told to go back to our countries etc, etc.
It's not just about making them feel at ease but not alienating them also. Society doesn't move forward if it's just a problem for us to solve and they're told to fuck off because we hate them.
what is the difference? the racism in hollywood and all over the world is perpetuated by white people, and white people are the only ones who benefit from it whether they are involved in the industry or not. endless bitching and anger is often just the surface of the conversation and if you attempt to read through the first 2 or 3 responses in a thread you'd realize dialogue on changing the system happens all the time.
Except for the Gangster Squad poster. It makes me angry that Michael Pena and Anthony Mackie are tiny.
So in summary, you're right and I agree with you.
Especially with a culture that seems to accept everything of the other cultures (Native American Indian headdresses, afro influenced music and speech candences, for example) and yet refuse to carry the originators of the culture with them. For instance, I do remember reading a film students essay about why we should support Hollywood and its movie making (this was against the news of MGM maybe going under, and Paramount in financial difficulties)in order for them to keep making money - so that she (blonde haired, blue eyed white girl) could actually get an internship in a thriving film industry that's pretty much nothing but white people.
Long story short, she got read, and we (this was under a flock) said, sorry, we weren't really going to mourn a film industry that was pretty much what it was, and her defence? "Oh, I'm just a white girl who loves everybody. I don't SEE COLOUR." There's a lot of that defensiveness when it comes to white people that you do have to work through. Like, when it comes to how this works, it's pretty much akin to a graduate student having to explain advanced physics to a four year old. It doesn't help that when it comes to explaining in good faith to said people, it's not received in that way.
ONTD trades in the dialogue on changing the system and the bright spots for endless bitching and anger.
To gakk from a feminist writer, if you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention.
i get that sentiment
