“one of the worst things about becoming educated on social issues is when people are like ‘you used to have a sense of humor’
no i used to have internalized prejudices which i’ve worked really hard to overcome and i realize now that your jokes are shitty”

“Always reblog this because becoming more socially aware makes you dislike a lot of people”
In this house we don’t tolerate intolerance, since history shows that sadly love does not in fact, win. Not against systems like capitalism or white supremacy or patriarchy.
If the love in question takes the form of enabling, then you’re absolutely right. And laughing with or even quietly tolerating racist jokes is plainly enabling behavior.
