you should never be ashamed for your race. nobody should be. and people shouldnt feel better about their race because they arent white.
definition of racism:
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.
and
the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.
it is okay to be white. you cannot change your race, and that is okay. being white is not a bad thing, and dont let anybody tell you otherwise.
historically, white european people (primarily british) have done awful things, and that is an undeniable fact. but punishing yourself for something you cannot control, like your race, doesnt erase or change the fact that history has already happened.
all you can do is move forward and help yourself, and others, love each other and do better.
it is not your responsibility to take it from your ancestors.
it is not your responsibility.
your only responsibility, ANYONES only responsibility, is to be better than before- either that be generations before you, or just better than yesterday.
love yourself.
its the only way anyone will move forward.
this post is for white people- any and all white people!

maybe this is just me being fucking insane but any time i see someone not strictly White or American some part of my brain just loses its absolute shit
pacific islanders? AMAZING
african peoples? STUNNING
asian people, from india to korea to japan? BEAUTIFUL
native american peoples? ASTOUNDING
bi/multi-racial people? GREAT
maybe i’m just sick and tired of seeing people that look like me, a white american who grew up in a heavily populated christian community, but god i love learning about new cultures and ethnic backgrounds and faiths and religious beliefs and traditions
just, a big shout out to to people for existing and living their lives around the world and being absolutely fucking pog i love you guys

White people don't need a positivity post like what alternate universe are you living in
everybody needs positivity in their life, especially over things they cannot control like race. i assume you havent read the other stuff ive posted about this, so let me just explain:
race is a morally neutral thing. nobody, and i mean nobody, should be attacked, put down, or shamed for their race.
now, this is not to say that black and brown people do not experience much much MUCH worse racism than white people. i would never say that, and to imply such a thing is historically and horrifically untrue.
what i am saying is that in the fight for racial equality, people (online and offline) have turned to putting down white people to lift themselves up. historically, yes! white people have been the oppressors, and i dont disagree that they are now, but blaming an entire race and calling the entire race of people names doesnt help anyone.
on top of this, being "white" is a very large category. according to the wikipedia page on "Caucasian Race" (which, is a whole other racist issue), white people (typically) come from "all or parts of Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa."
according to that source, that is 152 countries, to be exact. according to The Global Economy, the average population size of a country in 2022, based on 196 countries, was 40.31 million people.
now, ive seen and experienced racism my entire life. ive been told that its my fault for slavery because i have white skin. ive been thrown around and mocked relentlessly for having white skin. when i was in the church, i prayed every night and every day, and everytime i went to church and asked to be blessed, i begged endlessly to look more like my hispanic dad. to maybe even be able to tan. to not be white. because where i grew up, i was the only white kid. my mom grew up there too, and so did my dad, and my brother, and my sister. i was barely 5 years old when i realized that everyone at my neighbor's quinceañera didnt want to be around me because i was white, despite them literally being there and meeting me when i was born. when my brother was born. knowing my dad and his family their entire life.
i know intimately well that this is not a common experience, and it never will be.
but i also know, intimately well, that everytime i heard one of my black friends after i moved states tell me they wish they were white, or light skinned, i didnt understand why they would want to be white. i hated being white. being white could very easily turn into my death where i grew up. but i understood their want, their sad want to be like everyone around them, even if it meant hating themselves for something they couldnt change.
my experience is not universal, and i bet its even a rare one. does that mean i dont deserve positivity? do i not deserve to be told i am allowed to love myself for things i cannot change? we do this with gender, sexuality, disability, and so much more. we do this with race too, but for everyone but white people.
i think there should be an equal amount of positivity for everybody of every race.
i am not in the wrong for thinking that white people deserve some positivity.
the whole should not be at blame for the individal.
and i say all of this as someone who is mixed, and HAS experienced racism for being hispanic, on top of racism for being white.
everyones experiences deserve to be heard. shutting down anyones voices on the topic of experiencing racism of all things, is a straight shot to shutting down EVERYONES voices about experiencing racism.
(small edit, added a link i missed regarding the global economy website!)
