We are People of Color. We didn’t choose to be, but we love our cultures. Because of our skin, we have added struggles. In our safe spaces, we have every right to feel welcomed and not tokenized, harassed or ignored. We ask for you to listen to us when we speak about racism because we are being effected by it daily. This video is a compilation of things actually said to POC involved in activism and social justice.
We want to be heard, listen to us.“I don’t have an privilege, I’m a woman.”
“You’re really angry. Why don’t you calm down?”
All. The. Fucking. Time.
“I read bell hooks.”
“I read Tim Wise.”
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
