my utopia
The drag queen from this photo has spoken up about the photo.
I won’t speak for all liberals, but I’d like to see a future where it isn’t a big deal for a woman in full modesty garb to sit next to a drag queen in NYC. It’s become a bit of a sensation, but her and I were just existing. The freedom to simply be yourself in a sea of people who aren’t like you is a freedom we all deserve.
The central irony is that this isn’t some hypothetical future–it’s just present day reality. This is a picture of two ordinary people going about their normal lives despite how haters want to politicize it lmao. So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”
the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”
also ! if you’re not black and you’re talking about this , remember you don’t deserve a cookie or praise for doing it . You are doing it because you care about black people and the movement .

BLACK LIVES MATTER
Stop closing your eyes, stop scrolling past, stop thinking it’s not your problem. I’m a white person and might be talking especially to white people out there not being enough aware. It’s the time we say stop, and we need to stop standing still, it’s not a “Black People’s problem”, it’s not a problem “out of our community”, it’s humanity and decency and rights to live and BREATHE not in constant fear. We have voices and privilege that somehow makes our voices worthier to whatever else? So we have to use it, to fight RACISM and SYSTEMIC RACISM that’s sitting inside all of us and in our everyday lives. We need to be all on one side, so there won’t be sides anymore.
I’ve been following all the recent news since the George Floyd murder and I’ve found some good stuff to stay informed, understand what’s happening and start do something. I thought about sharing.
Please SIGN all these petitions and help demand JUSTICE for Black People that have been murdered and their names forgotten. All you need is 10 minutes of your time to sign all the petitions on both pages, every petition has a paragraph explaining the history of what happened to that black person and what you’re signing for. We’re also talking about black children murdered, a pregnant black woman beaten causing the loss of her unborn baby.
Keep reading if you want to do more as you should.
If you can DONATE (not to change.org, donations won’t go to associations but to them to “support the cause” but you better donate to help the protestors and/or the victims), TEXT or CALL asking for justice and help bring awareness and justice for Black People.
STAY INFORMED on what’s happening (by @utenas). Other ways to support/be an ally (by @calmholland). Stand with #BlackLivesMatter. Enough to be silent. Make posts, talk to people, raise awareness and learn.
Watch and read these:
George Floyd NOT resisting the arrest (no death scene)
The real person that George Floyd was
GENERATIONS OF PAINS
Tamika Mallory speech and urgent call for justice
Killer Mike speech to ATL
The Tyler Merritt Project: Before You Call The Cops
Atlanta protest before the police showed up causing violence
Brooklyn protest before NYPD incited violence
Beverly Hills peacefully protests before LAPD arrives
Protest are being PEACEFUL until cops show up
Cop getting replace because he was crying/showing sympathy for protestors
Woman named Latonya speaks peacefully in a protest in Austin, Texas (that’s the full protest video, she speaks at minute 27.27 + other videos 1, 2)
Police being the real violent ones: - verbal/physical aggression towards a peaceful protestor - showing palpable excitement like it’s a fucking game - acting violent towards protestors - shooting rubber bullets against journalists/reporters - pepper-spraying an elected official black woman - attacking with a bicycle a harmless woman, sparkling violence - attacking peaceful protesters who are sitting harmless on the street - LAPD beating a peaceful protester - more videos of violent cops at #BlackLivesMatter protests - actor/activist Kendrick Sampson being beaten for defending a protester - white policeman maced and pepper-sprayed a 10-years-old child
Police beating Black harmless People (a man and a woman, a child)
Black autistic man needing to be identified so white cops won’t go after him
Korey Wise, victim of systemic racism and convicted in 1989, protesting
Nice things: - Police officers joining protests in New Jersey & Miami - Hispanic/Latino people showing support for Black People - White old woman and black man meeting in a store - Black woman twerking to the police - Atlanta Chief of Police Department (named Erica) actually listening protestors: 1 + 2 (the woman speaking at 1.25 broke me in tears) + 3 - White people barrier in defense of black protestors from police
#RaiseTheDegree
+ understand and recognize your privilege, hear the call to action to not just be not-racist, but BE ANTI-RACIST:
Rihanna’s NAACP speech that calls for unity, solidarity and not considering all black people’s problems as their own only: “Imagine what we could do, TOGETHER”
Billie Eilish callout to white privilege
Jane Elliot speech on white privilege and conscious silence towards racist attitudes and behaviours
A Guide to White Privilege by Courtney Ahn
Privilege is when you think something is not a problem because you’re not personally involved
cherryemojigirl via TikTok on white privilege
Comparing whites’ privilege and black people’s lives
Whites protesting for haircuts // Black People protesting for THEIR LIVES
You don’t need to be Black to feel outraged
Ava DuVernay’s call to action
Major proof of media being white-controlled
6 years ago it was still the same, nothing changed
It’s not only America. It’s a plague affecting the whole world. (example)
Don’t go for #AllLivesMatter, your life matters, Black people’s lives are not being treated as human lives, they’re being murdered with bare hands or shot for doing something that would cost a 1-day-in-jail max for a white person. That’s to that we need to focus the support and solidarity and protests and asks for justice, because they’re the ones being killed and mistreated, not whites. #BLACKLIVESMATTER
#SAYTHEIRNAMES
Sandra Bland whose mugshot was taken when she was already dead
Layleen Polanco (black transgender woman, 27, found dead in police custody)
Breonna Taylor (shot 8 times in Louisville in her home, March 13, 2020)
Tony McDade (black trans man, killed a few days ago in Tallahassee)
Marsha P. Johnson (black trans woman who fought for LGBTQ)
Willie Simmons (serving 38 years for a 9$ robbery)
Malik Williams (man on wheelchair, shot 86 times on Dec. 31, 2019)
Nia Wilson (murdered by a white supremacist)
#JusticeForFloyd, #JusticeForAhmaud, #JusticeForBreonna
George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tamir Rice, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Samuel Dubose, Sandra Bland, Walter Scott, Terrence Crutcher, REGIS KORCHINSKI-PAQUET, Tony McDade, Ira Latrell, Christopher Mitchell and many others who don’t deserve to be forgotten.
It’s not Black People vs. White People. Black People are fighting for their rights to BREATHE and LIVE day after day without the fear they could be the next. Put yourself in their shoes: it’s not whites and blacks, it has to be people AGAINST racism. It’s JUSTICE, it’s EQUALITY, RIGHTS that Black people deserve as they’re humans like all the other people and have nothing less than them.

So so helpful
Dunno if I’ve reblogged this.
please drop the self promotion and your performative activism. we don't need white people using their own voices. we need white people to amplify black voices. streaming video games for clout ain't activism. it ain't progressive. it's self serving.
half the stream was dedicated to promoting black content creators, discussing the movement and how to help, and explaining why the riots are necessary.
i also had two of my black friends come on during the entire stream specifically so it wasnt just me talking from a white perspective.
i recognize that it may look performative on the surface, but it wouldnt have gotten the same turnout if i wasnt promoting it as much as i could.
ok but sokka was the original disaster bisexual.
I want to _____ you.
reblog and see what your followers say
Interesting..
I’VE LITERALLY HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO YOU PEOPLE
I was just reblogging for the above post I didn’t think I’d get any
apparently you guys want to do a lot of different things with/to me
Okay, guys. Go ahead. I know what’s coming.
oh oh do me!
