In Franchesca Ramsey’s viral video, “S- - - White Girls Say … to Black Girls,” the comedian dons a blonde wig and pokes fun at silly — and sometimes offensive — conversations among women. But some people say the video isn’t funny, just racist.
’S- - - White Girls Say’ Parody: Offensive Or Funny? <— Tell Me More host Michel Martin chatted with Ramsey today.

Please tell me why white people thinking something is racist gets national news coverage….but ACTUAL RACISM gets justified and swept under the rug and we’re told to get over it. Oh, okay.
White Privilege: when any inkling of offense deserves national press.
You know what, white women? If you are offended by anything in that video, it’s more than likely because you can recognize a little of yourself it in. In that case, you need to stop worrying about your poor little feelings, and start worrying about your words and actions, and how they are negatively affecting other people, particularly the people you have grossly offended by saying the ridiculously racist things in that video in the first place.
Bolded statements for EMPHASIS.
THE FUCKING DOUBLE STANDARDS IN THIS COUNTRY.
White guy gets out of jail after three months for doing a hate crime. Tumblr is my ONLY source of this information. Not surprised though.

CAUSE BLACK WOMEN CAN’T DO SHIT BUT BE A MAMMY AND SHAKE THEIR ASSES! THEY NOT SUPPOSE TO BE CORRECTING THE WHITE FOLKS AND MAKING HILLARIOUS VIDEOS ABOUT HOW WHITE WOMEN BE TRIPPIN ON SHOE LACES.
