Friendly Reminder
It is literally impossible to steal a job. Think all the jobs are being stolen by illegal immigrants? Absolutely impossible. An employer is intentionally hiring someone they can underpay for more profit. We don’t have an immigration problem. We have a moral issue regarding business owners taking advantage of people and pushing the blame onto those being taken advantage of.
The “Angry Dark Skin Friend”
There’s a common pattern in many forms of black media where there are 2 black female characters who are friends or sisters, one being lighter in skintone, while the other is darker. Even though darkskin and lightskin women form friendships all the time, the way they’re commonly depicted in Black Media is what stands out and perpetuates certain stereotypes:
1. in the film/show/etc, the main character/focus of the 2 is typical the lighter skin woman
2. this makes the darker skin woman the “sidekick”
3. the lighter skin woman is portrayed as prettier, nicer, “classier”, more reserved, and/or overall more likeable and desirable
4. the darker skin woman is portrayed as shady, mean, loud, desperate, abrasive, aggressive, and/or overall less attractive (many would say “ghetto”)
These photos show just a few examples that came to mind…
Coming to America (1988) - The darker skin sister was more desperate for a man, chasing after Prince Akeem, Simi, and even her sister’s ex-fiancé. In the frame of society’s norms, this would be seen as “fast”, “tacky” or lacking in morals, which would therefore, make her less fitting to be a wife.
House Party (1990) - The darker skin friend (AJ Johnson) was the louder, more outgoing friend who was ready to date both Kid & Play, whereas Tisha Campbell’s character was more timid, and ended up being Kid’s “better suited” love interest.
Martin (1992-1997) - Once again, Tisha Campbell is playing the main female character, Gina Waters, and love interest to the main character, Martin Payne. While Gina is depicted as a kinder, classier, professional, “wifey” type, her best friend/assistant Pamela James, played by Tichina Arnold, is depicted as a loud, angry, man-less, berating black woman with “buckshots” and “beedeebees” in her “horse” hair, who was constantly butting heads with Martin.
Proud Family (2001-2005) - Penny, the lighter skin girl, was the main character with Dijonay, the darker skin girl, as the friend/sidekick. Dijonay had a less “traditional” name, as did her many siblings, was portrayed as louder, having more attitude, and was constantly chasing after Sticky, a boy who not only didn’t want her, but preferred the lighter skin friend, Penny.
Rick Ross’ Music Video for “Aston Martin Music” (2010) - In the early portion of the video, we see a young Ricky out on the block with other neighborhood kids, dreaming about owning a luxury car one day. Among the kids there’s 2 young girls, one darker skin and the other lighter skin. While the darker skin girl is quick to berate him and tear down his dreams of ever being that successful, raising her voice and waving her finger in his face, the lighter skin girl is quick to reassure him and support his dream. Once again, this display reaffirms the stereotype of darker skin women being mean, bitter, and angry, while lighter skin women are kinder, sweeter, and happier.
Typical racist rhetoric:
The “oh, but you’re not like the rest of them” line.
Never forget
LOL this is literally the most accurate depiction ever.
“Feminists are taking over Ghostbusters!”, men say. “They’re ruining our childhood!”
Meanwhile little girls everywhere can no longer safely Google My Little Pony.

7 black Salman High School basketball players kicked off team after raising concerns that coach Panos Bountovinas (pictured bottom right) inappropriately touched them
Less than 24 hours after they refused to play in a game because they claimed concerns about their new coach were not being properly addressed, seven girls basketball players at Salmen High School in Slidell were kicked off the team Wednesday.
Senior Kayla Sibley said first-year coach Panos Bountovinas met with the players and broke the news.
When they asked why they were dismissed, Principal Brennan McCurley told the girls they weren’t allowed to ask any questions, Sibley said.
Attempts to reach McCurley, Bountovinas and St. Tammany Parish School Board spokeswomen Meredith Mendez were unsuccessful Wednesday.
Sibley said she wasn’t comfortable around Bountovinas because he often touched her.
“I felt uncomfortable around him on and off the court because he was very feely. Hand on the shoulders and other places and stuff,” Sibley said. “It made me feel uncomfortable. I never had a touchy-feely coach before. I felt uncomfortable.”
The players dismissed from the team were Sibley, Darnelle Webb, Myrezonte Cooper, Amara Bickham, Jazmine McKain, Antoinette Neal and Brianna Rudolph.
“They didn’t play because we wanted to get the principal and coach to the table to talk about the issues we have,” said Myles Cooper, a parent of one of the players. “This is not a witch hunt against the coach. We want the best for our kids, and we want our kids safe.”
Bountovinas is in his first season at Salmen. He spent two seasons at Mount Carmel, leading the Cubs to the Class 5A state championship in 2014. He was named The New Orleans Advocate’s Metro Coach of the Year for Large Schools that season.
He resigned from Mount Carmel before last season, citing “personal” reasons.
Cooper said that after Bountovinas was hired in June, parents had a meeting with Superintendent Trey Folse to “question the hiring process.”
“After that meeting, we were assured everything was going to be OK and we should move on as one unit,” Cooper said.
But Sibley said some concerns arose during the season.
“There were two games this season when (female assistant coach Wendy Stampley) told him to get out of the locker room while we were dressing. He hesitated,” Sibley said. “(Previous) coach (Kevin) Anderson last year never had that problem. Coach Bountovinas was just standing there. It took him a while to get out. This has happened more than once.”

Yall, this aint gettin not as much coverage as it needs to, please boost this
Black Girls Matter
Sorry to hijack, but it got personal. Wait. This didn’t get much coverage when he left the Mt. Carmel coaching position in 2014 for “personal reasons”, where I had a niece playing on that team. And all of them were Caucasian. Dig deeper. There is more to the story. A pedophile is a pedophile. In my eyes, Color DOESN’T Matter. All girls matter. But it didn’t to him. ~ShinyFirefly

This is how you see the world when you’re socialized to believe “white” is default.
“MLK to white people is like Jesus for conservatives: they like the idea of him, but don't actually advocate for the things he actually said or taught and would more than likely hate the actual person.“
this is the truest shit
Is anyone else sensing a pattern here? Do we need sherlock on this??
This will change. #BlackLivesMatter
Saving Face (2012), acid attacks on women in Pakistan
Meanwhile, in America, feminists are complaining about how dress codes are oppressive.
You idiots have never experienced oppression, and pray you never do, because this is what it looks like.
As a South Asian American feminist, let me remind everyone that oppression is not a competition.
Just because we fight one type of sexism doesn’t mean we don’t care about other instances of sexism that don’t affect us directly in our day to day lives.
My heart goes out to this woman and the hundreds of other victims like her. I want to educate people about these kinds of incidents. I support organizations that help women like this.
You may think that dress code issues are trivial, but they are related to a larger issue of women’s bodily autonomy, which affects women’s health and safety.
So please, let’s try to bring awareness and bring about change instead of insulting entire groups of people because they are facing issues that are less scary than the one presented.
“oppression is not a competition”
thank you so much for this wording
There's so much truth in this thread. And the photo story is heart breaking.

Last time I checked, the Irish weren’t enslaved for hundreds of years, taken from their homes and made no longer Irish, have always been white, considered human, and aren’t still being murdered every 28 hours.
What is wrong with this world??
I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the “lower animals” (so called) and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me.

BREAKING NEWS: Gwen Stefani Learns Asian People Are Real
Looking back on Love. Angel. Music. Baby., do you regret the Harajuku Girls given the criticism you received? No. There’s always going to be two sides to everything. For me, everything that I did with the Harajuku Girls was just a pure compliment and being a fan. You can’t be a fan of somebody else? Or another culture? Of course you can. Of course you can celebrate other cultures. That’s what Japanese culture and American culture have done. It’s like I say in
the song [“Harajuku Girls”]: it’s a ping-pong match. We do something American, they take it and they flip it and make it so Japanese and so cool. And we take it back and go, “Whoa, that’s so cool!” That’s so beautiful. It’s a beautiful thing in the world, how our cultures come together. I don’t feel like I did anything but share that love. You can look at it from a negative point of view if you want to, but get off my cloud. Because, seriously, that was all meant out of love. And the girls themselves, it was just a magical thing to get to know them. They were dancers that were cast, but they became real. One girl was a Japanese girl that grew up in L.A., and she got to hang around with three different Japanese girls that were from different places in Japan and had different backgrounds. They became best friends, and she got to go to Japan and see her heritage and see how we are all the same. And I got to hang out with girls for the first time.
It's bad enough when Selena Gomez says shit like this, but Gwen is too damn old to still be so uneducated about the world around her.
