This white woman’s shocking account of police brutality reveals the importance of the #BlackLivesMatter movement

Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black — and she ends the letter with an important call to action.

The public needs to hear more stories like this as well.

[lennybaby2]

Wow. This is horrifying.

[the-sarkai]

Cops are drunk on power. Add any ism to that, you have a bunch of abusive, gun wielding, trained to kill, non empathetic, killers running around.

[alexandra-erin]

This woman got hauled out of a window, beaten, stripped, tortured, and humiliated, and she still is able to understand how white privilege saved her life.

It’s a breezy summer day and the rustling from the leaves outside sound like whispers from my small apartment. I’m sitting in front of my laptop, silently studying the 1.6 billion faces speaking simultaneously in front of me. It’s Monday, the day of the weekly conference call between all Muslims. We have been required to attend this Skype meeting from the the tender age of fetus, but I had never spoken in one of them before. 

That changes today. 

“Hey guys, what if…” I start to say. 

Nobody hears me, but I refuse to be silent. How could I show my face again on Tumblr if I couldn’t even save my mayonnaise friends from death? How could I expect to earn their respect? Anon was right; why hadn’t I done this before? Thousands of lives had paid the price for my ignorance, but not anymore.

“What if you guys….. stopped killing people.“ 

Suddenly, silence. 

1,643,398,023 pairs of eyes are on me. My heart is in my throat as the ISIS leader gives me a blank expression. 

A single tear rolls down my cheek. "Please.” I say with a broken voice. 

He is moved. 

“Aight”.

My fingers are almost shaking as I carefully type in the ten digit phone number I have had memorized my entire life. The buttons on my home phone seem to glow a bit more dull, and even the ringing of the phone from the other end seems to be agonized, almost as if the world is telling me to hang up. But I refuse to give up; I can’t let my lily-white friends down. Not again.

The phone rings once. Twice. Three times. Still no answer. Just as I am about to hang up, there is a click.

All I can hear is heavy breathing.

“Hello….” I say quietly, my voice shaking. “Is….. Is this Muslim?”

There was a long silence before I heard a voice answer “ya lol”.

“I was thinking………..” I begin cautiously. “Maybe murder is…………bad.”

“Habibi, I…..I don’t understand. What are you trying to say….?” The voice seems shaken.

“What if…….world peace is good and killing people is…………not good”

He lets out an audible gasp. “Are you saying ISIS is…….bad?”

“Maybe death is…….not good.” I continue. My heart is racing. I remind myself that I am saving thousands of lives, and inhale.

The silence from the other end of the line is almost deafening. He seemed to be thinking, as if he had never considered this idea before in his life. Truly I had opened his heart and his mind. This…. This could end terrorism.

“Muslim….Please.” I whisper.

I hear a tear roll down his cheek, with my Muslim Communication Hearing™ and hold my breath as he finally breathes out his next words.

“Kk.”

So I got on my Kindle for the first time in over a year (over 400 days ago) and I just realized that this is my old account that I abandoned around the same time. Sorry for the hella late reply to the anon asker

[allaboardthejujutrain]

Ok so there's this guy that approached me to study in one of my classes, we exchanged numbers and met up a few times in the library. He's sweet but I'm just not interested and hes made it very clear he likes me and asked to get coffee. I know it's harmless but I just don't want to give him the impression that I want to pursue anything. I'm @ a point where I just want to focus on me/school/my art, etc and kind of want to cut things off. Hes beginning to get rly clingy but idk how to do it nicely.

I'm not entirely sure that this was meant to be sent to me, but I'll try to reply to the best of my ability.In situations like these, honesty is oftentimes the best way to go about this. Telling him how you really feel is probably your best bet of getting him to stop. If that doesn't work, then you have every right to not do it nicely, even if you're trying to avoid that.Sorry if this isn't really good advice; I've never had to deal with something like this before, but you can do it!

when u murder innocent people in a mass shooting and are still portrayed as a victim of mental illness and a rough childhood rather than a terrorist :)

The Devil’s Kettle waterfalls in Minnesota have one side that pours over a ledge and continues, and another side with a deep hole that vanishes into nowhere. Researchers have poured in dyes, ping pong balls, and logs, but nobody can figure out where it goes. Source

I hope somewhere there’s an underground civilization that’s getting really annoyed by all this random crap in their water

I’m actually concerned for boys who complain about how different girls look without makeup. Like did you think eyeshadow permanently alters a girls eyelid? Are you frightened when people change clothes

[weetbixgod]

Babies have no concept of object permanence

That’s one of the sickest burns I’ve ever read.
