This is quite  a shocker. I didn’t think it could get worse ,but it did.

Wow

Yikes

I had people tell me this kind of shit but they were usually older and I always rolled my eyes and laughed it off telling them it wasn’t true. But the thing is? They always argued it with me, swore up and down they just KNEW. And in the end it always boiled down to me being like “Look I know you THINK you know but you actually don’t so drop it.”

At the root of those naive racists are grandparents and parents who sternly will tell you they’re smarter than you and that they just KNOW these things. And if that’s all you’ve heard your whole life you think it’s facts.

The same way I was told by a family member with no medical background that he just KNEW you could get AIDS by shaking hands with someone. I had enough schooling to know that wasn’t fucking true. But he’s fought me on that tooth and nail literally the whole time I’ve known him.

They assume based on stupid shit and then try to pass that off as truth to their whole family. It’s garbage.

terrifying 

Profound ignorance like this is what helped get Trump into Office. Unless you’re a rich bitch, got a shit ton of grants, or a full scholarship, no one goes to college for free in the U.S. No one. Stop believing the lies, question what you’ve been told, and actually talk to POC.

One black person gets a scholarship due to their activism, and white people see that as every black person going to college free just for being black.
