I am NOT white
from NatAndChat Hosted by Natalie Anderson
Im not white anymore...I've decided to finally do away with the categorization of white as it pertains to skin color, and only use it as a word that has connotations of clueless, blank, racist, and segregating. Nobody has white skin, so let's stop allowing the purity connotation to continue. My skin is closer to pink than white. And for the record, what color my skin is shouldn't have any bearing on you liking me or not. I want who I am to be how you decide, and I will let you show me who you are -for me to decide what I think of you. "White" as a slur is creating itself...I'm seeing it happen and I want to be raising my hand in vote to abandon the word as a way to refer to skin. It's already a word that reflects racism. So I'm pink, I'm peach, I'm any color but white.
