Like blatant racism and ignorance is so much easier to deal with because it's THERE but microaggression is something else, YOU know it's there but you can't PROVE it dddd
it's something only a poc can pick up  :uhh:

Yeah.. you can feel it. But the silence of micro-aggressive racist behavior is deafening and causes a lot of resentment. It's like a silent language that only you and the racist inflicting it understands. Pure evil.

Why do the girls in the Drake video make those weird facial expressions when they were dancing?
Why are the lyrics so...dirty?!?
why is everyone sensitive about the race jokes these days? back then everyone would laugh these days you'd lose your job?

I mean he is a 42 y.o latino Brazilian with a white boyfriend and he considers himself white even though he says his Grandmother is Black  :dead: but still.... :ermm:

Like this one woman a few years ago said 'You're so well spoken...you sound like you read!"

At first I didn't think nothing of it because she said she used to be a teacher, but...she taught at the white school and it was the first time I was around the white people in our town and I noticed they we're more worried about the black people and what they did in town than I was.

I used to be an all lives matter type of gorl...until I actually grew up and met white people.

:plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:


CHOKE

Doesn?t bother me

The average racist girl is usually poor trailer trash

A girl with no money can?t really affect me. No shade

no shade, we lash the fuck out of white people

But Latinos are lowkey the worst because alot of them have mixed heritage and have black family members even the pure white or black ones claim mixed or something.

Because of that their racism and microaggressions go unchecked cause the Black people there are more likely to let it go.

:plzstop:

Because if I SAY something I know he'll put out the "LATINO!" "BLACK GRANDMOTHER!" card and if I complain it's always that one white manager that won't get it.
I can already see this being brushed off as a "personality clash" :dead:

FlowerBomb

& I'll be like personality clash?
so are you saying I'm supposed to let him politely call me a nigger and I should be ok with it just as so we're getting on?

The fact that they give black people nicknames like

"The black one" "My littl black" and shit should tell you enough

:omf:

I document most of them and then depending on my relationship with the person and the setting I bring them all up.

Did this with my clinical director, she was pissed, and I ended up quitting in the long run. Her organization ended up getting reviewed by an ethical board and the president had to resign lolz

LOONA.

I don't really encounter it alot but the few times I did I just pay it dust. In my experience it's usually unintentional mess due to ignorance.

Sexual orientation microaggressions irk me the most.
