Classmate in college, patting a random dude with an afro in lecture. A memory kicked off by the ‘Shit white girls say to black girls’ video. I try and stop her because I don’t think this is appropriate but she doesn’t listen. He gets offended but she just says “Oh I just wanted to touch it! Nothing wrong with that, right?” (via microaggressions)

Dear White People,

When you touch a black person’s hair without asking, you are immediately degrading them. They are not an animal for you to pet, nor an exotic object that exists for your amusement. They are a human being, and you are invading their personal space, as well as making a part of their body, and the bodies of millions of other people, into a novelty.

Stop being douchebags and keep your hands to yourselves.

Regards,

Fay
