TALK TO STRANGERS

Jayme is a twenty-two year old college graduate with an intense love for writing and music blogs. She likes words like “jubilee” and “jollification” and abuses them all day, everyday, in both usage and definitive practice. She has an uncanny affection for mediocre Wild West movies, nerdy hip-hop music, The Legend of Zelda series, and going outside. You can often find her furiously giggling from her own puns. Her dog’s name is Tekno Tronic Mallindine. He is perfect.
She likes it when strangers Tweet at her.

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. Black girl put on a blond wig and speaks valley, NATIONAL ATTENTION ALERT. THIS BLACK GIRL HAS CROSSED THE LINE EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING SHE SAID AND DID WAS TRUE. REVERSE RACIST!!!1!1!!

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.

I support these videos and I think there should be a series of more. DAVE CHAPPELLE SHOULD COME BACK AND DO ONE WITH HER. 

Co-signing all of this.

fucking facepalm over the fact that this is being called racist…

what in the actual fuck.

Racist is a little harsh.

It does stereotype, though.
