I just think it’s really interesting that once I became more visibly Jewish- wearing a tichel or kippah on a daily basis, wearing my hamsa, learning Yiddish- I was immediately faced with (misdirected) transmisogyny- being called transmisogynistic specific slurs, being followed and harrassed off buses, being followed and watched in women’s bathrooms, etc.

It goes to show that transmisogynists and terfs base their ideas on what womanhood is on a white, European, racist, antisemetic, patriarchal caricature of womanhood, and not actual womanhood, which is intrisic to each women, normal or cis.

[j-uwu-ish]

Hey people w morals! Could you reblog this so I have non terfs in the notes and spread awareness? Thank you kindly!

what does the revolution must not be televised mean?

[dynastylnoire]

He just casually gave us like 20 gems. It’s the graceful intent of black poets that keeps oral history of our people going.

[carrionthird]

[Transcript:

Well, you know, the—the—the catch phrase, what that was all about, “the revolution will not be televised,” that was about the fact that the first change that takes place is in your mind. You have to change your mind before you change the way you live and the way you move. So when we said that the revolution will not be televised, we were saying that like… that—that—that the thing that’s going to change people… is something that no one will ever be able to capture on film. It will just be something that you see and all of a sudden you realise, “I’m on the wrong page,” or “I’m on the right page but I’m on the wrong note. And I’ve got to get in sync with everyone else to understand what is happening in this country.” But I think that the Black Americans have been the—the only real die-hard Americans here, because we’re the only ones who… who carried the process through the process, that everyone else has to sort of like… skip stages. We’re the ones who marched, we’re the ones who carried the bible, we’re the ones who carried the flag, we’re the ones who tried to go through the courts, and—and—and being born American didn't—didn’t seem to matter. Because we were born Americans but we still had to fight for what we were looking for. And we still had to go through those challenges and those processes.]

So you want to talk about racism in the alt music scene?

Okay. Then let’s do something constructive about it.

Note: I personally think looking toward a celebrity / rock star / influencer / fandom BNF for performative allyship is a waste of time. I think there’s a lot of nuance lost in generational and life experience gaps and I’m not going to engage in that conversation.  

What I want to do instead is focus on what I can do for myself and my local community to take active steps in making the alt music scene are more inclusive and less racist space. I’m a big believer in building up and supporting your local music scene as much as possible, so the (totally not comprehensive, but def a starting point) list I’ve curated below will reflect those core values I hold for myself.

BROADLY, QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:

What POC artists are you listening to? Are you buying their albums? Buying their merch? Requesting their songs at your local radio station? 

YOUR LOCAL MUSIC SCENE:

When shows return post-pandemic - will you go see any local POC artists? 

Are you able to use your contacts to help these artists books shows? 

Maybe request the local music club to book certain bands? Show promoters will listen if there seems to be enough interest for them to make money on ticket sales/door fees. (You can usually google your local music venue + booking to try and find this information)

College music stations - if you’re in a college town - there’s a great opportunity to get involved (esp if you’re a student) with helping curate what music gets put in rotation.

Are you able to host a show? House shows are the ULTIMATE music scene DIY - if you’re in a position to offer up your house/space as a venue for bands to come and play, why not make a point to seek out POC artists and have them be part of the line up? 

SoFarSounds.com is another great avenue for the house show route.

Maybe it’s just because I’m Jewish but I do truly believe that life gets ten times better when you learn to complain cheerfully

[lesboevils]

hetalia is violently antisemitic and racist

[lesboevils]

if you like hetalia in 2021 im going to assume that you are a white supremacist hands down

[dominateeye]

[lesboevils]

some of the people commenting on this don't remember people cosplaying nazis in front of the holocaust museum and it shows

[coffeemiso]

the anti-korean ideologies written into hetalia and aot also must be brought to western attention; i know the west is largely not educated about eastern history, but the writers of these franchises are outright japanese nationalists making light of or supporting japanese supremacy or japanese colonization of korea, which japan routinely ignores and refuses to pay reparations to korea for japan’s period of colonizing and enslavement. lack of education is no longer an excuse when korean and jewish people continually try to educate and hold you and the franchise responsible for antisemitism and nationalism, you've just surrounded yourself with a community that will not just make excuses for right wing propaganda, but build a fandom off it and sway impressionable teenagers
