Tonight I was hit with a hand full of eggs and huge rock on my back and called “Nigger” by a white guy in the backseat of a dark blue truck as I was riding my bike on Westheimer and Jeanetta. They drove too fast for me to get the license plate number. I had to get a cop to drive me home. This night makes me wonder how blacks did it back in the day, and why the community is looking the way it is now. I am trying not to cry, but I am in physical pain from the rock and not understanding why I deserved this.

uugh

Reblogging because solidarity.

You don’t know me, but I got your back, any day, any hour, any minute. 

I once saw a large truck full of african american males switch lanes, come towards where I was standing on the curb in the rain and purposefully go REALLY fast to hit a large puddle to make it splash me, then saw them roll down the windows and point at me as they laughed. 

I am a single white female. I hate to bring race or anything into this and I am sure white people are just as much as ass holes but racism of any kind HAS GOT TO STOP it’s not okay no matter what race you are to hate on any other races! I have been targeted SO MANY times because I am white and female, mostly by men either white OR black doesn’t matter. 

I remember once I was in a long line at McDonalds, I would have been next to be served when another lane opened up and the clerk motioned to me to step over to be served. I moved, HUGE black guy who just walked in the store (I saw him enter cause of the position of the doors) Tried to shove me away so he could get helped first. I might have made a face but I know I said, “I have been waiting I was next” he said, “I was clearly here first.” I said, “No you just came in I’ve been waiting in that line.” He gets REALLY uppity and starts shouting, “WELL WHEN YOU’RE WHITE YOU’RE RIGHT” and starts throwing this huge fit. 

The cashier (she was black) tells the man that he’s being immature and that she clearly saw I was next and motioned for me to come over, that bringing race into this was not an issue. The guy would just not shut up about me being a white princess and spoiled, when dude I was at the same McDonalds he was in the same bad part of town where I always hung out cause clearly princesses eat at McDonalds in Downtown cleveland. Anyway he had to be removed claiming racial discrimination when even the other people of his race were looking at him like he was a total idiot. 

Like I said this has to stop, so I reblogged to share your story as well. 

Wow. 

You thought sharing your experiences as a white woman was the right way to go here?

You decided to turn the lens onto you and your experiences instead of focusing on what was at hand.

You were not a victim of racism. This young woman was. 

This is not about you.

so let me get this straight

because the second victim was white and because she wasn’t struck what happened to her was automatically not racism??

that’s ridiculous and you sound ridiculous 

both of these people were victims of racism, albeit different forms, and the second woman was only sharing her story to sympathize with the op 

^^^

Identifying, sympathizing, and sharing a similar experience with someone is not a bad thing.

In fact, it’s the one of the things we should be doing more of.

^^^

YES

If I had something like this happen to me as a Latina I wouldn’t be offended for anyone’s sharing their own experience.

I’m sorry this happened to you OP, and to anyone who this has happened to. 

holy shit black people cannot have fucking nothing without fucking crackers busting in talking about their racism

fuck all of you

in the face

This is horrible. I hope the scumbags who did this to the op drove right over a fucking cliff. God dammit, why are people so hideous?
