cool. another black child died in a hate crime

rabbitkinglune777

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

apparently the murder happened in 2023 after doing some research but the murderer has been found not guilty.

black children get murdered and become victims of hate crimes every fucking day. this is ridiculous

rabbitkinglune777

im posting this here despite the website being extremely white centered, I want people to understand how in this country it's basically ok to murder and victimize black people, especially women and children in the name of "self defense" and white America will reward you for your antiblackness.

why is pjackk back unbanned?

💬 1 🔁 0 ❤️ 60 · reference post about the "phantom report bug" · this post is not rebloggable because i need to be able to update it and ed

^^^ i spent all night and yesterday compiling information about a "phantom report bug", where people are getting emails from tumblr support about TOS reports they did not file. pjackk was banned off one of these phantom reports, i told tumblr support about it, and now he's unbanned. i think @garaks-padded-bra was also banned erroneously off a phantom report, so hopefully that will get reversed soon as well

PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR PHANTOM REPORT EMAILS. if you spot any, even if theyre old, tell me about them so i can add them to the list (linked above), and report them to tumblr support. POLITELY. tumblr support wants to fix this.

We do not combat racism because it’s fun. We do not point out misogyny for giggles. We do not speak up about transphobia for laughs. We do not stand against bigotry for our amusement or the opportunity to feel superior to others, it’s because if left unchecked; it will claim lives. Just because they’re commonplace, spread throughout society and casually thrown about by the average person, doesn’t mean it’s beneath the effort of correcting. Indeed, it is because it is commonplace, that it deserves diligence. The best weapons aren’t always the loudest, it’s the ones you don’t perceive as a weapon.

i want to study at a kiwi university

i will spell trail mix as scroggin and wear jandals on my feet. i would watch footrot flats on TVNZ all night while drinking a lemon & paeroa with a sheep. i'll have a mince pie every day that's worth 11 stupid dollars somehow. i would go to the wop wops every night. i am also more likely to meet JAFAs, Lorde, the director of Shrek and Sirocco the Horny Bachelorparrot.

i wish i was kiwi :(

Hello! These are my prev tags!

I unfortunately can't seem to find the exact article I was thinking of, but I've attached a couple of ones that are relevant and expand on a similar sentiment.

Names matter, so we need to find the right ones.

We're obsessed with the term but there is uncertainty about who qualifies.

The Spinoff article gets more into the politicisation of the term and how it's been ill defined and weaponised against many groups, not just against Māori including under the current government.

But it's something that was discussed throughout my history courses as an undergrad and when I later tutored them in postgrad! I recall a Māori lecturer also railing against the term, particularly when it's used to portray the positive achievements of Māori as a national collective "win" that everyone can get behind, yet are conversely labelled and identified as "Māori" whenever something negative happens. This was also expressed by Tāmati Coffey several years back now (not to link a Stuff article 😒)

"If the individual attains success, Māori are escalated to 'Kiwi'. Because it's a positive story."

There's also a lot more to unpack (that these articles briefly touch on) around the history of colonisers fashioning an independent identity from that of England by utilising Indigenous flora and fauna, therefore actively attempting to Indigenise themselves, especially as second-generation settler colonial families overtake the number of first-gen colonists. This appropriation obviously has further implications when trying to assert land rights or claim Terra Nullius as in Australia, but I'm trying not to digress too much.

Hopefully this is a good start!

thank you so so much for all of this!!! I'll give these a read [:

usamerican soldier STUNNED into silence when he learns that his willing and paid participation in the murder and neocolonization of foreign people is a huge red flag to everyone with a conscience

usamerican civilian stunned to learn that justifying and defending this willing and paid participation (even tho it's the only way to go to college/get a job/whatever nice thing that is apparently worth more than other people's lives and freedoms) is an equally huge red flag fr fr fr

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?
