This researcher programmed bots to fight racism on Twitter. It worked.

And a particular kind of bot worked best.

his findings

1. white racists (like you “good” whites’ uncles, grandmas, neighbors, and friends) only change their behavior when they are confronted by other whites with more status. 

2. when Black people confront the racists attacking us, they just pile on harder because they get a kick out of knowing they’ve gotten to us.

tl;dr - just like Black people have been telling you for decades, it’s up to whites to end racism and you can’t do it by remaining friends with your cousin and grandma who voted Trump because “fuck political correctness”.

Some Trump voters are already feeling buyers’ remorse

[wilwheaton]

Oh, that’s too bad. It’s almost like you’re really stupid people who got conned.

Silver lining, though: all the racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia and Islamophobia you voted for is still there! And as a special bonus, you helped put the least qualified person to ever seek the office into the White House!

Dear White People,

Just because you fuck a person of color doesn’t mean you cant be racist. Strom Thurmond fucked a person of color and that still didn’t stop him from speaking on the congress floor for 24 hours and 18 minutes just to stop the civil rights act of 1957 from being passed.

These difficult conversations are more important than ever. Here’s how to overcome the roadblocks.

Men, we need to have a conversation about this microaggression towards black women

There is no reason you should disrespect a woman because she doesn’t do what you want her to do.

There is no reason you should try to embarrass her because she turned you down.

There is no reason you should make her feel bad about herself because she didn’t stroke your ego.

We need to start putting men like this in their place. I am so serious. I’m tired of hearing these stories about how women were called derogatory terms, assaulted, and even murdered because your feelings were hurt. This has to stop. Now. We’ve got to attack this from its roots.

With Trump’s election and the threat of fascism, Twitter user Raphael Bob-Waksberg reminds us of Martin Niemöller’s words after WWIII:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

“Planned Parenthood confirmed that yes, people are putting their money where their tweets are. Of 160,000 donations made to Planned Parenthood since the election, 20,000 have been made in Mike Pence’s name, according to a spokesperson. That’s 12.5 percent of all donations.”

loves it

[lemonstars]

From what I’ve understood, making them IN his name is a bad idea—Planned Parenthood donations are tax deductible, and he may end up with a tax write-off.

From the PP site: “Your contribution to Planned Parenthood Federation of America is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable.”

When donating, select the box which says “Yes, my gift is in honor or in memory of someone special.”

Making them out to Mike Pence in the “IN HONOR” section still gets a notification to his office, while not running the risk of giving him any tax deductions. Plus, you’ll get a deduction for yourself.

Repost to save your conscience

[reverseracism]

So, Kanye just admitted that he would've voted for Trump, that racism isnt a big deam. As back girl myself,I just wanna know, why do we continously make niggas like Kanye and Lil Wayne the center of black culture ?

.

[cocoafasho]

Srsly, why?

[closet-keys]

This string of tweets.. I don’t want to pass it off as fact, like things will go exactly as they describe, because I don’t think they will, or I don’t want to believe they will. But I did want to share it because the concept of the obedience test is real and people really do need to take this shit seriously. It’s terrifying. And we can’t afford to downplay that literal nazis are being accepted into powerful positions in United States government as nothing more than “controversial.” We can’t afford to not be outraged at this. We can’t afford to not react.

god it’s so annoying how delusional ass conservatives act like millennials are “offended by everything” for standing up to things like blatant racism and sexism, meanwhile there’s a conservative outrage every time starbucks releases a cup without “merry christmas” on it
