An Open Letter To All The Fragile College Students In Their Safe Spaces John Hawkins | Nov 14, 2015
Hi
How are you doing in your cute little safe spaces? Who’s an adorable college student? You are! That’s right! Look how big you’re all getting! You’re all doing really well, too! You’re all so smart and strong!
Wait, is that a little too patronizing? You don’t like being talked to like you’re five years old?
Then maybe you should stop acting like little children throwing a tantrum!
Nobody wants to hear a college student from freaking YALE complain about how tough and racist it is at college.
Newsflash, you pampered little asshats! It doesn’t matter what color you are: if you’re going to college in America, you’re one of the most privileged, least discriminated-against people on Planet Earth.
I can’t even tell you how pathetic it is to hear pampered kids TWEET about racism like it’s the 1940s because of First World Problems most people don’t even consider a mild inconvenience. Want to see what I’m talking about? Here are some actual tweets from a #BlackOnCampus hashtag on Twitter talking about how bad black students have it.
Being #BlackOnCampus =being afraid to answer questions in class for fear of being wrong/seen as "stupid" in front of white peers. -- Ericka
Black students being a population of 7% on a campus of 35,000+ #BlackOnCampus -- JB
#BlackOnCampus feeling the need to tone down my emotions- including anger- because of the fear of being seen as "ratchet" or "ghetto" -- afroamericano sunnyd
#BlackOnCampus "Oh, you straightened your hair. It looks good, you should do that every day" -- Khayla Harris
Wow, the struggle is real!
