Are You Suffering From Racial Discussion Fatigue? These 5 Hilarious Tips Will Help

Are you constantly having to explain why certain viewpoints are problematic?

“Dude, being trans-racial is not a thing because it’s an appropriation of a racist struggle without having to live it.”

Have you stopped silencing yourself when the ignorant [beep] from high school comment on your Facebook posts?

“Oh yeah, black on black crime. So basically what you’re arguing is that because black people have killed black people, white people should be able to kill black people? Like, that’s the argument?”

Do you find yourself wishing a [beep] would – on a regular basis?

“Racism is a system of oppression and violence that limits the aptitude, opportunities, and even lifespan of ethnic minorities in America – and has for hundreds of years. But sure, why don’t you tell me about that time a black person didn’t say ‘bless you’ after you sneezed?”

Have trouble discerning Internet trolls from inanimate objects?

(speaking to a toilet) “Your heritage is hateful, dude. Get over it.”

“Black lives matter!” (kicks over a trashcan with a bag on top of it)

Then yeah, you probably have Racial Discussion Fatigue Syndrome, or RDFS.

Look, times are hard, and lots of people are legitimately stupid. But luckily, there are some things you can do.

1. Delete people on Facebook.

Why do you owe them conversation, or a platform to spew hate?

De-lete!

2. Put down your phone and moisturize.

Nothing irks a bigot like smooth, ageless skin, unaffected by their hate.

3. Instead of responding, retweet people who’ve already made your point.

You don’t have to fight the trolls.

4. Use your resources.

Read a book. Stay informed.

5. And limit social media usage before bed and first thing in the morning.

Because remember, we’re going to look back and see ourselves on the right side of history. And one day, they’re going to look back and remember that they were morons.

Stay strong, kids.
