wtf-imi:wereguvnah:the-pietriarchy:sickandtiredofbeinghere:the-pietriarchy:cannibaljackrabbit:Eli and I were having lunch and decided to look at the Halloween store next to the restaurant.We FOUND a bunch of “racist product” stickers and also FOUND that these stickers were put on some of the racist costumes in the store.How strange to FIND such a thing! A+ anti-racism work!It’s almost as if the store clerks who are going to get in trouble for this and are going to have to peel it all off and answer to questions from confused costumers while they are confused as well are the ones feeling the backlash from this.Not even the companies that make the costumes or the people that order or wear them. But innocent employees. Funny how that works.Think before you act, seriously. You could’ve at least asked for a conversation with the manager about the costumes instead of just sticking powerwords on there hoping that that’ll magically solve the issue by itself without any added explanation.But I have a feeling that this is more about giving yourself a pat on the back than it is about actually helping or educating people in the first place. Because this isn’t helping anyone.You must be really fun at partiesOh god you’re completely right activism in the name of fighting racism and discrimination shouldn’t be reflected upon and taken seriously what was I thinking. Thank the lord that you were there.This is basically the “activism” equivalent to hitting a 40 year old janitor who’s just trying to make ends meet in a drive-by.It reminds me of the weird-ass feminist who wrote some bullshit on a bathroom wall in her period blood. Making a statement by forcing a minimum wage worker to clean up after her. So brave, so mature. -- source link
