Hip Mama Anti-Racism FAQ

What do you MEAN, reverse racism doesn’t exist?

As white people, we’re all raised to assume that anything in the world is ours by right, and that other people are treated the same way as us. The truth is that as white people we’re given many things that are not given to people of color - anything from jobs to smiling welcomes wherever we go. We come to think of those things as ours by right, and when we lose them, we think we’ve experienced racism or discrimination. Usually what we’ve really lost is a piece of unearned race-based privilege, which we’re not used to being without.
