My first youtube comment ever…

…and I get told to kill myself.  I am a real internet grown-up now, folks!  Can I have a Byte Mitzvah?

My comment:

I’m white.

I suck.

Let’s fight ignorance. We are responsible for what these people say. If we who are educated do not speak up, then equality will simply never happen. I hate that I represent a race whose entire history is based in the oppression of the Other.

I am a human being. I belong to the human race. Skin color is arbitrary. Culture is beautiful in every form.

Let’s fight ignorance. We are responsible.

The response to my comment:

If you really are white then you do suck. Self hatred is not a NOBLE characteristic and your distorted views are all lies. Your ignorant liberalism is dangerous in so many ways, I don’t have time to list then all. Get some self respect and learn to love yourself. And if you can’t than just kill yourself. But don’t try to poison everyone with your lies about the evil white man.

My commentary:

The guy’s youtube handle is kangshik.  I don’t believe in feeding the trolls, but if there is someone, somewhere on the internet that is better at explaining the systemic nature of racism than I am, or just wants to jaw about it with me, I’m here.

P.S. I am actually White.  But I think we should find a color for us so we don’t just participate in the invisible standard (“White” implies the absence of color).  Maybe I can be Peach?  Or perhaps Pale?  Or perhaps Pink?  That would really piss off the conservatives, for the gay and communist implications.  I am Pink, hear me roar.
