its okay for me to say where ive come from

i can say ive been homeless with no shame

i can admit that my depression crippled me, and nearly kept me from graduating high school

i can recognize the abuse my mother put me through. i can finally separate her needs from my needs. i can stop trying to raise her.

i can see my hardships in my smile.

i am happy that i have had the experience of being at school and not knowing if i would have running water when i got home, because it makes me so fucking grateful.

its okay that ive only just learned what true happiness is

ive come so far. all of the people from my graduating class are now graduating college, and i never went

but you know what

i have a job

and a partner

and a dog

and i pay for everything i need

i have health insurance [for the first time ever in my life]

and i dont need anyone or anything. i am the master of my destiny.

and its important for me to recognize and honor my past. i am eternally grateful for the path the universe has set me on.

i can help people.

and i can help myself

White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack (1989)- Peggy McIntosh

1. I can, if I wish, arrange to be in the company of people of  my race most of the time
2. If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area that I can afford and in which I would want to live.
3. I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.
4. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
5. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.
6. When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
7. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.
8. If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.
9. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods that fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser’s shop and find someone who can deal with my hair.
10. Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial reliability.
11. I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.
12. I can swear, or dress in second-hand clothes, or not answer letters without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the property, or the illiteracy of my race.
13. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.
14. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.
15. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group
16. I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color, who constitute the world’s majority, without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.
17. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outsider.
18. I can be pretty sure that if I can ask to talk to “the person in charge” I will be facing a person of my race.
19. If a traffic cop pulls me over, or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race.
20. I can easily buy posters, postcards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children’s magazines featuring people of my race.
21. I can go home from most meetings of organizations I belong to feeling somewhat tied in rather than isolated, out of place, outnumbered, unheard, held at a distance, or feared.
22. I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having coworkers on the job suspect that I got it because of race.
23. I can choose public accommodation without fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated in the places I have chosen.
24. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my race will not work against me.
25. If my day, week, or year is going badly, I need not ask of each negative episode or situation whether it has racial overtones.
26. I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh” color that more or less match my skin

I will always reblog this.

& it will still not be enough of a reminder.

I’m really tired of seeing all of this shit thrown at Kim Kardashian & that dress she wore to the MET gala.
Cause like honestly, she choose that dress cause she obviously liked it & liked how she looked in it & I don’t see the problem.

“

1. Kids don’t drop out of school, they’re pushed out because the knowledge is not meaningful.

2. Activism is not about convenience. I cannot be antiracist all day and then go home at 5 o’clock, put my feet up and be a bigot.

3. As a white person you can walk away when you get tired about talking about white privilege. A person of colour cannot walk away.

4. I can speak English. The gift of 200 years of colonialism: you come out of your mother’s womb speaking English.

5. I had an arranged marriage. I arranged it myself.

6. Language is not neutral. Language is political.

7. The Sharia Hysteria: if you want it you’re a Neanderthal, if you don’t want it you are a liberal.

8. Muslims do not have a monopoly on oppressing women.

9. I don’t get offended anymore. If I’m continually insulted I am frozen into inaction.

10. If I am the standard and you are different from me then I have the power.

11. When you get tired of anti-racism and social justice, remember those who cannot walk away. You’ve got to stand with them.

12. I don’t mind being an immigrant. But my children were born here — their imagination of home begins and end in Canada. I can go home to Pakistan but this is home to my children.

13. Pakistan has been colonized for 200 years but the colonizers went home. They left behind their cronies to watch over us.

14. I didn’t know I was being a feminist until I came here a week ago. I thought I was just a woman who liked to fight.

15. We have to fight together. We have been marginalized and oppressed and if we’re not careful we’re going to marginalize and oppress someone else.

16. Everyone wants to save the muslim woman. Some want to put the hijab on me and save me; some want to take hijab off me and save me; some want to bomb us and save me. Just give me a break man! I can save myself! I don’t need Western imperialism to save me or Western feminism riding on the coattails of Western imperialism to save me. I can save myself.

17. Just because we are doing social justice does not mean we are socially just.

18. We [immigrants and refugees] don’t come here to live in poverty. We don’t come for the weather and we don’t come for the food – we bring the food! We come for the democracy.

19. To hurt someone is to sin. To watch someone else get hurt and do nothing is a greater sin.

20. If you are a man you can be a feminist – if you are a man you
must be a feminist because if you’re not, you’re part of the problem.

21. I wish all I had to worry about was [my son’s] baggy pants and who he dates. I have to worry if he’s going to get arrested, if he’s playing basketball, out with his Black and Arab friends. This is part of mothering for black mothers, aboriginal mothers, and now it is true for Muslim mothers.
