Yea Idk when certain African Americans will proceed to learn that not all Caucasian Americans are racist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you know what? I left this really vague because it can apply to so many things (women’s rights, gay rights, trans rights, poc rights…), and your racist ass decided to pull a #notallwhites on me, like why do you even feel the need to defend yourself if you’ve done nothing wrong?
It reminds e of hte post where someone was talking about making homophobes hit a wasp nest adn someone was like “NOT ALL CHRISTIANS!” but nowhere did it mention christianity.
Moral of the story, if someone assumes a nonspecific post is about them, then chances are they are the kind of person the non specific post is talking about.
Aries:
Flaming mane, pale coat with brown eyes that turn red in the light; deep adventurous scars along the snout, jagged crimson horn.
Taurus:
Earthy green coat with a dark, verdant mane in which deciduous tree plants and leaves grow; sage colored eyes and a beaming viridian horn that emits sunlight.
Gemini:
Bright maroon mane with wildflowers weaved in, rosy coat with fuchsia spots scattered on the flanks and cheeks; eyes the color of red wine and a horn made of pure garnet.
Cancer:
Light airy blue coat with azure blue blush on the flanks, seashells twined in a beryl-tinted mane; long white seafoam fur skirted around the legs to the hoofs.
Leo:
Blazing mane and a flickering coat; glowing scarlet eyes and hoofs that leave burnt prints in the ground with each step, exhales steam from the snout.
Virgo:
Cool, long, lush mane with coniferous plants and pine cones growing within it; a deep jade colored coat with tawny spots along the flanks, sheds tears of tree sap.
Libra:
Long glossy silver mane and a slick, lustrously purple orchid colored coat; precious gems encrusted on the hoofs, pure white irises and a rosy blush.
Scorpio:
Deep blood mane that bears red roses with a crimson coat; walks as if on glass, pressuring black eyes and a sharp black horn with rose thorns spiraled around it.
Sagittarius:
Dark royal blue coat with white spots splattered across like stars in the sky, mane black as the night; shining eyes that twinkle.
Capricorn:
Snow white mane whose surface accumulates snowflakes, a wintry pale blue coat from which permafrost is emitted; long white eyelashes and glacial eyes, longish wispy snow fur spread around the legs and hoofs.
Aquarius:
Pastel blue coat with a fluorescent pink blush along the flanks, softer pink mane with sparkles spread across; lavender irises and a horn made of diamond.
Pisces:
Rosy curled mane with tied bows, a peachy coat with pink gold enveloping the hoofs; a horn glossed in pink lacquer, magenta sparkling eyes.
I don’t get this because white millennials love that flag too. Have y'all seen Twitter, IG, and any other form of social media?
young southerners are JUST as racist as their parents???
Like did the ‘young southerners’ raise themselves or??
as a young southerner I can say that the majority of us are WAY more accepting and tolerant than our parents.
Sometimes I wonder if these people who don’t live in the south realize there are young white southerners who fight tooth and nail with their kinfolk about this issue. As a southern white person who gets called a traitor by her family, I completely relate to this picture and fuck anyone who tries to paint us as the bigots we are trying hard to fight against!
I have family in Texas- my uncle is the biggest republican I’ve ever met- anti-LGBT rights, pro-racism, pro-gun, anti-woman-but his daughter, my cousin, is the COMPLETE opposite, and she doesn’t hide it either. She spends her days in the schools gay rights group, has taken part in dozens of rallies, and regularly argues with her father about what she believes in. She is the next generation of southerner, and I HATE that she is being portrayed and generalised as a bigot.
Man, tumblr is a trip. Never generalize anyone about anything unless it’s someone who isn’t you, amirite? Look, I get this shit from a lot of people. I get it from movies and television, I get it from my own friends. I’m not saying the south isn’t a shit place some of the time. It is. That’s the thing. We know it is. We’re trying to change it. This is the comment that got me:
“Like did the ‘young southerners’ raise themselves or???”
No, and that’s literally the point. Do you see the same comic I do? That kid dragging himself out of the sinkhole? You get what that’s supposed to mean, right? We didn’t raise ourselves. He’s been living in that sinkhole up to this point, too. Because we grow up believing our parents know what they’re talking about. We all do, I know that isn’t any different up north. And it’s great that your parents weren’t racist, homophobic bigots like so many southern parents were, but the whole point the comic is trying to make is how fucking hard it is realizing your parents aren’t trustworthy people. It fucking sucks. I have to fight the man who raised me about what my own rights should be.
And the fact of the matter is, that for years, because my dad said otherwise, I didn’t think I deserved any. And it was a fucking nightmare pulling myself out of that sinkhole and coming out and being who I am today. I still struggle with a lot of issues because of things I grew up hearing from my southern stereotype father.
It’s exhausting seeing people looking shocked or frightened when I mention I’m from Texas, but even more exhausting is understanding why they have that look on their face. It’s humiliating having to explain that my roots don’t define me. But I’m not who my father is, and I’m certainly not who he wants me to be.
So yeah, I’m done having people tell me what I think. And if I’m not going to take it from my own flesh and blood you better be damn sure I’m not gonna take it from the likes of some strangers on the Internet.
