Debate Me.

How can I say something so controversial, yet so brave?

[queenstravelingdarling]

I screamed.

[controversiallybrave]

Literally. Stop caping for the ungrateful. Asian-Americans are one thing, but China can blast itself off into the 🌞

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

I don’t blame him- who the fuck wants to hug someone who killed their child in cold blood? Especially when it’s the police, who continue to murder black men and women without any repercussions. It blows my mind that we demand less accountability from the people who are supposed to be protecting us than from civilians themselves.

[riverpersonhatesabuse]

If whites and nonblacks demonize him for not wanting to forgive ihs child’s murderer  then they’re antiblack. Only “caring” black people so long as they’re subserviently forgiving to white racists is peak antiblackness.

[controversiallybrave]

I’ve been saying this shit for years and watching Maleficent 2 just pissed me off even more about this subject: the oppressed are not responsible for the feelings of their oppressor, and should not have to be the side who compromises to stop themselves from being killed off. Black people should not have to be kind to people who get uncomfortable with their existence.

In Maleficent 2, *SPOILERS AHEAD*

That bitch ass queen murdered like at LEAST. A third of the fairy population yet Aurora pulls that “I know you” bullshit to stop Maleficent from destroying her ass?! She really meant “know your place” 💀. THEN the fucking fairies actually proceeded to attend this death trap ass wedding with half their fucking friends missing cuz they’re DEAD but omg wedding and “not all humans”

MY ASS! That one dark fey guy had the wrath of generations in him, he would have AT LEAST killed Queen Ingrith’s dusty ass. Martin Luther King Jr got himself assassinated trying to be friends with his oppressors (because he was rising above his place) 😑

I’m not saying this as a parallel for my issue with white peoplebas a collective™️,

But actually I AM

It seems as if minorities do too well white people get threatened and try and put us back in our place. Look at the whole “white genocide” movement and their general hatred for any minority support group.

Don’t come for me w that not all white people bs pls, don’t be complicit

July 3rd, 11:59 P.M.: This country is a festering cesspool of corruption, ignorance, and violence. Every achievement is built on the backs of millions of dead. The Founding Fathers-

July 4th, 12:00 A.M.:

July 5th, 12:00 A.M.: -would shake their heads in shame if they could see the state of this nation.

[omghotmemes]

And thats a fact!

[onceuponamidnightdrizzle]

they also steal water from people

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

Yes! Serena & Venus got disrespected by the media, fans, & this country. Nothing was more embarrassing than Americans cheering against them & for foreigners i.e., Sharapova, Hingis, Seles, Clijsters, Graf, & Henin, but we know the “fans” will rewrite history i.e., Muhammed Ali.

how you like that #BlackGirlMagic all round?

Minimum Wage should be indexed to 2% of a city’s median rent.

And here’s why:

Housing costs are the single biggest financial burden facing Americans today.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development define being cost-burdened as spending more than a third of your income on rent. By that definition, over half of the households in this country are cost-burdened. Source

If we want people to be able to afford to live in cities and not get priced out, we have to make a two pronged approach. One is to build houses towards all incomes and price ranges, not just luxury condos. And the other is a robust wage floor so people can actually afford to live.

Fight for 15 is doing an amazing job and I love them, but we have to realize that is quite a few places, $15/hr still isn’t enough to live on.

Which is where the 2% comes in. It allows a minimum wage that is flexible with regards to the costs of living.

And it wasn’t plucked out of thin air either:

Rent should be a third of a persons income, or to restate the equation: income should be three times a person’s rent.

And since a full time job is 8 hrs a day / 40 hrs a week / 160 hrs a month.

So when you do the math, the ideal hourly minimum wage as a percentage of rent works out to around 1.875%, which for ease of calculation is 2%.

[crunchbuttsteak]

Example minimum wages under a 2% rent rule:

San Francisco: $67.40/hr

New York City: $56/hr

Boston: $55.94/hr

Los Angeles: $27/hr

Houston: $21.38/hr

St. Louis: $18.22/hr

Billings, MT: $17.16/hr

I. That puts San Fran’s cost-of-living issue into perspective.

This is how you introduce a fuckin villain in dnd

[controversiallybrave]

It just got weirder and funnier the longer I watched and I love it

[goobra]

this feels appropriate

[yeet-the-rich-byfalloutboy]

I’ll keep rebloghing posts like these until we stop shaming poor consumers for not going vegan or whatever and start pressuring COMPANIES with MONEY to start operating more sustainably

[thekuthicollective]

something that's been on my mind for a while is how a lot of people, mainly white women, think billie eilish's decision to wear baggy clothing n not sexualise herself is revolutionary but when it comes to brown / Muslim women using the same logic in which to cover themselves it's not considered so (and that's no shade, like I love billie but like)

[bakwaaas]

white women who choose to dress modestly are empowered, brown women who choose to dress modestly are oppressed. it’s actually very belittling bc it’s implied white women are smart enough to make their own choices about how they dress, but the muslim woman must be indoctrinated and can’t think for herself

[madeupmonkeyshit]

[pi-la]

[i-hate-chick-fil-a]

It’s a really shitty mask, like the kind you cut out of a magazine and you don’t even have any string so you just hold it up to your face and go “boo” for a second until someone rips it because you look stupid and you’re acting stupid.
