   realneon:

   “I need white people to stop pretending consent was possible during slavery. Stop lying to yourselves that those black cousins are the result of illicit love affairs & grasp that slaves could not say no. When consent is not an option, when you’re only seen as 3/5ths of a human…

   I’m just getting so tired of things like this. Learn about the past and acknowledge what happened and that it was horrifying so that it will never be repeated. But don’t ACTIVELY hold grudges against your friends and neighbors for something their ancestors did to your ancestors. Things are NEVER GOING TO GET BETTER if we keep recycling bitterness through every generation. White people get it. Their ancestors fucked up. Their ancestors fucked up REAL BAD. This in no way should affect the way any race treats any other race TODAY. Love and respect one another. If we stop wasting our time pointing out the ways in which we are different, we’ll be able to concentrate on ways in which we are the same.

   You think white people get it? Are you insane?
