“The thing is, women have been oppressed for so long that it’s not even about equality anymore,” Walcott said loudly, casually adjusting his man bun.

Indian Giver

You’re an Indian giver in the way you love: Everything you give, you take away.

What is an Indian giver?

[nizhonibird]

A person who gives something and than wants it back.

[full-time-n8ive-deactivated2017]

what did the Indians want back?

[marrymejasonsegel]

[prokopetz]

More specifically, the term “Indian giver” arose from a series of incidents in which European colonists would borrow food and supplies from the local First Nations, then turn around and go “oh, we thought it was a gift” when the locals later tried to collect on the loan.

Modern history books like to bang on about “cultural misunderstandings”, but if you look at contemporary records, it’s clear that there was no misunderstanding - the colonists totally understood that they were being extended a loan, and simply didn’t want to pay it back.

The myth that Native Americans liked to swindle people by giving them gifts and later claiming that the gift had actually been a loan - hence, “Indian giver” - thus developed in order to retroactively justify the colonists stiffing the locals when those loans came due.

(In the interest of clarity, interest-bearing loans were not commonly practiced by North America’s First Nations at the time, though they did exist among some groups; in this context, the term “loan” simply means “I give you something you need right now, and you give me back something of equal value at some specified or unspecified future date”.)

for my best friend, killer-tomatoes- 

RESPECT TRANGENDER KIDS. We exist, and i bet if you knew the statistics of suicide within the community, you’d change your mind on whatever bias you have towards us. Pronouns do matter, there are trangender children,the word “tranny” does offend us,no we are not just gay people, the only fact is that if you believe these things is: you’re an ignorant person.

White privilege is being a 21-year-old loser who plots and kills 9 people in their church and when you are confronted by the police, armed, you survive without incident. Later, when you’re escorted to the police station, you are not handcuffed and you even have a bulletproof vest for protection. Meanwhile, the media is already infantilizing you and blaming your actions on anything other than you, even though you planned this attack for 6 months. No one is asking why White men are so violent when 87% of mass killings in America have been committed by White men and nobody’s calling you a terrorist when your very intent was to cause terror.

Tears ran down the faces of activists at the vigil for African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church Massacre in Charleston, SC. The mass shooting of nine innocent people in South Carolina has rocked the nation. This act of terrorism is being investigated as a racially motivated hate crime. Black Americans are being gunned down and murdered at an alarming rate.

Seeing it on a map is scary. No wonder why white people can’t stay in their lanes. They can’t even stay on their own continent. They have boundary issues.

You guys know that there’s over 50 countries and more than half of them have nothing to do with teritorial expansion of other continents? Like have you ever heard about Czech colonies? Or Polish? Or, dunno, Lithuanian?

"Your generation is lazy and apathetic!"

My generation is sick of corruption and inequality. My generation is beginning to pour out into the streets to fight. My generation is going to change the world; a world which you let fall into a pattern of oppression and unscrupulousness because it fed you small comforts and commodities that you exchanged for silence. Take a seat.

Over 87,000 people are calling for Charleston to remove its Confederate flag 

After the massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, left nine black people dead, all the official flags throughout the state flew at half-mast. All but one: the Confederate flag. The symbol of slavery remained full-mast, defiantly flying high at the S.C. State House. Now nearly 100,000 people are fighting back — but sadly, it will take great effort to get it removed.
