Whenever people of color bring up the issue of racism in their lives we seem to want to say, “Oh, you’re hypersensitive, you’re seeing things, you have a chip on your shoulder,” and I really think, and I hope that we can see this kind if dismissiveness for the racism that it is because what that amounts to is saying, “You black people are so irrational, so illogical, so unintelligent that you can’t even be trusted to interpret your own lives so let me, in my whiteness, interpret it for you.

i was on the bus yesterday and there was this big beefy scandinavian-lookin dude sitting in front of me he must have been at least 6’4” and next to him sat another guy who was way tinier and skinnier and they didnt talk the entire trip until the smaller guy leaned over and whispered “charmander is my favourite starter too” and the big guy guffawed n kissed him on the cheek
