Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool. 

She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”

Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it. 

However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.” 

My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.

Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)

#this shit just doesn’t matter to kids #so why does it matter to adults?

oh my god LOOK HOW FUCKING HAPPY HE IS.

As a white cis male, he claims that while growing up in Hawaii, he faced constant “racism” from the natives.

I’m preparing for battle, and I’ll need your help.

Everyone link me, give me keypoints,quotes,anything

I’m not going down without a fight. 

(This is the same man who makes racist comments towards darker skinned people of color and their use of ebonics. He constantly puts this one girl down and even went as far as pointing out her yearbook photo, and laughing at how she was so dark “You couldn’t see her if she wasn’t smiling”)

POC TUMBLR!!! let’s give this young woman some support!

Sis, do you have other people in the class who agree that reverse racism is bullshit and where you can all back each other up? 

I wouldn’t normally recommend this, but if you do have a bunch of folks—sit in separate areas of the class, hold on to the desk, and don’t let him control the class.

If he interrupts you say: “Let me finish” or “As I was saying”…do not let him finish what he was saying. If he railroads you, he will probably contradict what you were going to say, then you can say, “If you had let me finish I was saying this.”

—Sociology is about structures, societal level oppression, groups in society (including marked ones) — not about individual circumstances of interpersonal conflict.

—Being marked for being white might seem strange to you because whiteness is invisible —but POC are marked according to their language, skin colour, culture, immigration status, indigeneity (trying to think within a U.S. framework), religion, assumptions about how violent we are, accent, etc.

—Talk about the 400 years of oppression and that whites on the basis of their race have never been singled out on a systematic basis in this way from people of colour.

—Mention the stamping out of Ethnic Studies in areas with majority Latinx/Chicano/as — I think it’s Tucson, Arizona — so even where there is a majority of Latinx/Chicano/as white supremacy still prevails.

—Talk about how even post Brown v Brown, schools are even more segregated and that black schools receive less money than schools with majority white folks. 

Also fuck this mother fucker! Fuck him to hell. 

ETA: Classism should not be conflated with racism.  

I would also point out how ridiculous it is that he’s bitching about “racist” Hawaiin natives when Hawaii is colonized land.  Try to contextualize his experiences within a greater Hawaiin history.

Also: I bolded the sociology bit, because as a sociology teacher, he needs to know sociology is, and the sociological definition of racism involves the structures and societal institutions of oppression.  Make him explain how his individual experiences as a white person in Hawaii are structurally and institutionally oppressive.  Force him to be accountable to the very field he teaches.

I would also discuss this issue with one of his higher-ups.  I don’t know if there is anything that can be done, but a sociology teacher with such poor grasp of sociology should not be in charge of these discussions.  I would also bring up examples of his racism and discuss (maybe with a dean?) how that affects the classroom environment for you and other POC.

STORY TIME

This one time I was 19 and was sort of dating this guy who was really nice at the beginning but slowly started to incorporate these sandwich jokes. It was quite possible that he was incapable of making his own delicious snacks. Anyway, back to the story.

So his sandwich jokes got to the point of featuring in day to day conversation and every time I’d ask him to stop, he’d be quite defensive about his freedom of speech. On the day that we broke up, he did the whole make me a sandwich spiel again, so I got up and made this sandwich right? But while I was making it, I was talking about how we were going to have the most dirtiest, most nastiest sex imaginable, after he got his sandwich. By the time the sandwich was done, I was telling him that if he wanted it (the sex and sandwuch) badly, he’d have to take off his pants (just the boxers on with an obvious boner and a wet patch) and follow me.

So he follows me yeah? He doesn’t notice that I have my bag ready and all, and I step out his house yeah? Here’s little ole’ me waving around this sandwich in front of pantsless McGee as he follows me to the bus stop (still dirty talking pathetically, him with his boner saying hi) and when the bus arrives, I hop on (with the sandwich) and leave my sad little ex with his dick hanging out for the general public to see.

Moral of the story: Don’t tell sandwich jokes and don’t mess with feminists because things like this will happen to you.
