Oh Let’s Talk Reverse Racism

I saw a funny status of an FBF let’s call that person on the blog, “AlVee” and I had to agree.

“I'm giggling and wondering if Nick Cannon is doing reverse racism, is black face called forward racism and is same race racism called neutral racism? Lol.... smh”

Still Love that one AlVee!!!

If you are a FBF or follow me on Twitter you already know my stance. Reverse Racism is No Racism and since there is Racism, Reverse Racism does not exist. I felt this blog need to so that maybe, Maybe Pop Culture won’t embrace this ignorant mess and have all you hardcore fan of what is popular saying it.

If a person of one race says or does something offensive to a person of another race because they are they are that race is Racism. It doesn’t matter what race of the offender. It is Racist!!! I know my reader are smart but maybe they passed it to someone who still don’t get it. White person says something offensive to Non-White person because they are Non-White person is Racism. Non-White person says something offensive to White person because they are White is Racism. Non-White person says something offensive to Another Non-White person because they are Another Non-White person is Racism. Get it, Got it Good!!!

Now I do break Racism down into two groups. I call the groups Intentional Racism

 and Unintentional Racism.

Both are wrong but both exist. Intentional Racism is being purposefully malicious and hurtful to another race. It’s taught and inherent. It can be fixed but only if the perpetrator wants to be helped. It’s what people think of when the word comes up. Now Unintentional Racism is a little trickier. It is caused most times by lack of knowledge. Now once taught better unintentional racism will be erased by stopping that behavior or becoming intentional.  I mean wants you know better… I watch a few web videos on how better ourselves on not being Unintentional Racist. Here are some of them (Sorry to those of Hispanic & Middle Eastern decent. As soon as I see one I will update you. And if you know of some put them in the comment section below)

Try This Instead

Ask an Asian Guy

Ask a Black Guy

Ask a Jewish Guy

Ask a White Guy

Okay I know you want to know my opinion about the Blackface/Whiteface issue (and if you didn’t I’m telling you anyway) It’s Racist. Wikipedia does a great job defining them Here and Here. Too dress up as another race to perpetuate a myth or stereotype is racist.

Julianne Hough dressing up as a black character on the show “Orange is the New Black” was wrong once colored herself darker. She could have stopped at the outfit & hair and people would have known who she was. Had she not taken it too far she would have been fine. Nick Cannon as "Connor Smallnut" is wrong also.

Good Marketing, ok whatever, it’s still racist. The name and the stereotypical hashtags of #GoodCredit #DogKissing #BeerPong #FarmersMarkets #FistPumping #CreamCheeseEating #RacialDraft made it racist. And you can tell him I said it (like he give a care). Now everyone like to pull out their memory Robert Downey Jr. in “Tropic Thunder” and Eddie Murphy in “Coming to America” for argument to say these actors are not racist. The arguments are hogwash to me.

Robert Downey Jr. character was a white man thinking it was okay for white people to play black folks in movies in ridiculous makeup. If anything the role was making fun of those who think that behavior is kosher. Eddie Murphy was perpetuating what stereotype? That’s what I thought. He was just playing an old white man. How was he being offensive? Uh Huh! Uh Huh!

Before you argue…Think!!!

So I hope you take away 1) Revere Racism Does Not Exist!!! 2) Let’s All Stop Racism. It exist because of us.

As Always, Talking to You in Adult Terms
