“reverse racism does not exist. a response to racism does. if that expresses itself as hate, rage, and utter rejection of the people/ the construct/ the institution who enforce it, that is not wrong nor unhealthy. to feel that you deserve my love while you shove a slow knife into my being, to want my love while you create and benefit from my oppression is pathological. this is the psychology of oppression. you expect an excusing for our deaths, a forgiveness for our genocides, an easy warm acceptance for the past, while the same is still occurring. we all and only, as poc, get to decided how we deal with the fire we are born into. how we process, what we feel, where the hate we face, settles in our eyes, bodies, and tongues is ours. to feel that you have any rights to the directions of our emotions, our opinions of your oppression, any part of us, is disturbing and is the textbook definition of abuser logic. seeking to guilt and shame us out of our truths and your actions, is a moot point and is weak reverse emotional psychology. we know who we are. we know who we are not.” — Why are you a reverse racist. Why do you hate white people. Why are you so hung up on the past. Why do you focus on enslavement. Why are you so hateful and bitter. why do you make everything about race, Nayyirah Waheed
