omfg why is this getting notes again im cry
BECAUSE THIS IS PERFECT AND YOU ARE PERFECT
Let me tell you why that “We’re All African” mess disturbs and infuriates me.
Not too long ago, white people everywhere the world over were DENYING the shit out of the African origins of humanity. They were denying my heritage, my culture, the roots of millions of people, confining Africa to this monolithic Black continent filled with AIDs and civil unrest (except Egypt, which after they robbed of everything it had, they quickly lumped into the Middle East “Islamic terrorist” stereotype).
They have denied, denied, and denied us for centuries. And suddenly, science proves that humanity originated in Africa and we all have a common—yet dim and debatable—matrilineal ancestor in our DNA, and THAT’S your claim? That’s your sword and shield to justify and deny your own privilege and racist mindset?
Fuck off.
I’M African. YOU’RE not.

thegoddamazon (via zorascreation) can someone please bring me my popcorn? thank you. (via deluxvivens) I hope those fools who tried to pull this on me in response to my “you’re not African” post read this. (via cosmicyoruba) Using one of the main things that proves that racism is stupid, as a scapegoat for racism? Too ironic. I only ever bring this up when some racist shit is calling my “race” superior because of said event in history, or said bull shit statistic. I like to remind them that our species originated in Africa and that the white skin is a mutation which came from us not getting enough sunlight when we migrated north and nothing more. Then I like to watch them flip their shit. XP As a white person who has had some short, mild ignorant phases similar to, but not the same as this dumb shit, I plan on writing something about why so many white people are getting to be this misguided on the topic of civil rights and respect. |
