Follow the broken road

Hey, lovely people. I go on crazy obsessions over shows, movies and books so my fandoms change. Supernatural, GOT, HP and Merlin are here to stay though. But anyway I love a good laugh and inspirational posts.

It’s really important to know that trespassing and vagrancy laws in the US were more or less made up entirely for this purpose. Until we hit on the idea of rent-a-prisoners as replacements for slave labor, it wasn’t illegal to just hang out in public not doing anything, or wander through someone’s yard on your way somewhere else, or to camp on public land. The very first known enslaved black person in the US was an indentured immigrant named John Punch. We know his name. Indentured labor at the time was either a financial arrangement people either entered into willingly or was a sentence for a crime. Punch and two white men were laborers who attempted to flee their service and were caught. The two white dudes had their sentence extended by one year. Punch was sentenced to a life of servitude.

It started with prison and it’s come back to prison. It’s still prison. This is still happening. It’s not over.

If this picture doesn’t make you want to vomit I don’t know what to do with you.

I just realized that the specific reason the 80s and 90s anti-racism preaching in the media failed is because it was entirely focused on emotions and bullying and self esteem, and now everyone thinks the only thing that racism affects is people’s feelings.

but in reality, personal emotions about one’s self are the FINAL, smallest, most individual, personal step in what racism does. it ALSO does so much astronomically more than that, and anyone who’s experienced it knows that on some level. it’s institutional; it’s woven inextricably into the fabric of not only our country, but our global system, too. and people are utterly blind to that.

popular culture still suggests that racism is wrong JUST because saying racist stuff hurts people’s feelings, and not because it’s a cultural attitude that informs every level of how our society operates; there is little awareness that racism is about ACTIONS, actions with no conscious intent behind them, not beliefs, which are intangible.

and now that the alt-right has popularized the idea that feelings are objectively stupid, there’s no longer ANY reason not to say racist things. because who cares about hurting other people’s FEELINGS? that’s the very last, smallest, most individual, personal thing you can possibly care about! 🙄

that’s why people are convinced nowadays that a public figure with wide-reaching influence can say racist things unapologetically without “being” racist. because to them, “being racist” isn’t the same as ACTING RACIST. It’s some internal belief—some character flaw—that only crazy people have, and if you’re ironic enough about it, there’s suddenly no harm in being openly racist for laughs.

when the truth is, ACTIONS MEAN MORE THAN BELIEFS. virulent racists are created and enabled by an almost unfathomably massive system of laws and conventions and tradition and lies that people tell themselves and each other. on a global scale.

people think racism is a thing people believe but somehow NOT a thing people DO.

Imagine taking courses to write effective headlines and then see people who don’t know shit trying to be snarky online.

Guys. For the billionth time. Headlines need to give as much relevant details as possible while still being short enough to be read at a glance or almost, and get people to read the rest. Unless the article is about someone well-known enough that we can safely assume the reader will recognize them, first names do not go in headlines. 

It is not about refusing to write the names of minorities in headlines. It is literally the first thing you’re taught when it comes to writing them.

[curlicuecal]

On the other hand, just look how much funnier headlines could be if we adopted this policy

[chelonianmobile]

Seriously, do people think the headline is literally all that exists? There’s a whole article underneath it, you know!

I love this. There’s another one where they go to a wine tasting and give people a glass from a $20 bottle and they hate it, then a glass from a $200 bottle and they love it. But then they reveal that both glasses are actually from the same $20 bottle.

You have no idea how much I want Rhodey to be Carol’s link to the Avengers, when she eventually shows up in A4. Imagine Tony, Cap and Thor are already on the offensive, ready to fight, and she’s prepared to kick their asses, when Rhodey’s like, “Wait, that’s Carol!” By then, she recovers all of the memories that the Kree took from her and she knows he’s the same young pilot she used to have a competitive rivalry with, but that he was also her friend (maybe more). On Rhodey’s part, he never knew what happened to Carol. She simply disappeared one day and no one at the Air Force had any answers.
