Regina Cannot Explain It All
I'm Regina Small. I'm a writer and editor in NYC. I have a lot of opinions.
Interests include: sci-fi/fantasy, literature, summertime daydrinking, trying to be a better person, fancy manicures, philosophy, pictures for sad children, and the role of irony in the modern world. And fandom, of course.
I have another blog dedicated exclusively to science fiction/fantasy. Read it here.
“Shit White Girls Say…to Black Girls” is not racist (via Futuretalkvideos)
Honestly, it’s still mind blowing to me that this type of video has to be made in order to explain the meaning behind “Shit White Girls say…” but this guy did a better job of breaking it down than I could ever hope to. While this video response is getting lots of praise (as it should) there are still naysayers who insist that the very fact that a white guy is getting props for explaining the real definition of racism and white privilege (something black people have been complaining about for decades) is a cruel twist of irony.
While I agree that the message has been stated many times over, one of my Facebook fans said it best, “If it takes a white man to translate the reality of our societal racism to white people, so be it. He presented the facts it in such a neutral concise way, the truth simple can’t be denied.”
