Dear white people,
you do not have to be black or a POC to be angry. You can be white and be enraged. I am. I'm utterly disgusted when I see the injustices and the racism spread throughout America. It's pure hatred, and it's okay to angry.
You do not have to be black to be empathetic and understand where they're coming from. If you don't, you're probably justifying racism and that's not okay. You don't have to be Muslim to be sad when you see islamophobia, or stick up for a muslim. Unfamiliar culture doesn't mean it's bad. You don't have to be mexican to be angry when a racist calls every single of them drug lords, illegal, and rapists because you know that's not what they all are. You can be white and be mad when you see discrimination and racism targeted towards a specific race. Your feelings are not invalidated when it comes to this, speak up about them, help change happen.
You can also be angry when someone tells you white people are the problem, because you're not, racists are. You can be white and be angry. You don't have to be a POC to see these things, don't overlook them.
Our society is practically corrupted and POC can't be the only ones trying to start a new one. Do you really want your children to grow up in a world where not everyone is seen as equals? Because, I can guarantee you that if you ever experienced racial oppression, you would not wish it on anyone. If not everyone's lives are being treated the way they should when our generation is older, I can see white people being a part of that. Do you really want your kid to grow up in a world like that?
It's completely okay for you to be white and be enraged. We need the Black Lives Matter movement because million of lives are being oppressed still and it's 2016. It's entirely okay to acknowledge it, and you'll be praised and appreciated if you do.
This was just a short little stupid chapter, but I want white people to know it's completelyyyyyy okayyyyyy forrrrrr themmmmm ttoooooo beeeeee maddddd. It's not racist if you see things and you want a change. You're white, you're not gonna be racist to your own kind!!1!37362 You're fine, okay??
I'M WHITE AND I'M FUCKING PISSED.
White people, IT'S A-OKAY TO BE PISSED THE FUCK OFF!!
