Things They Don't Teach You in School

•Lincoln believed white people were the superior race •Gandhi hated black people •The CIA brought illegal drugs into the country •Ronald Reagan was the devil •White people mutated from the Dravidian Albinos and would be nothing without POC

[pastelpapi]

•9/11 was coordinated by the Bush administration •The laws written 15 years ago where pushed and backed by the kkk •Black people explored the world before white people where civilized and whitewashed history

[tastelessfashion]

•Christopher Columbus ain’t shit.

[nico-incognito]

*The father of modern gynecology experimented and tortured black women during slavery for his findings. *The government was successfully sued for the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. *The CIA introduced crack/cocaine into inner-cities across the US *The US had been sterilizing many WoC *In the Tuskegee experiments, the US gave STDs and other diseases, including syphilis to unknowing black men. *Japan was already in line to surrender when we bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima *The US created the Taliban

[sweetmintchocolatewitch]

• Native Americans had to register to become American • Black Panthers once watched over the police to prevent unjust arrests and beatings • Native American children were massively murdered when schools got too full • Black people were in zoos • There were Asian concentration camps during WW2

[thesavingera]

*The World’s largest Great White shark ever recorded in history fed off of slaves thrown over the ships *Gay white plantation owners used to rape the slave men in front of the slave’s wives, children, and friends. They used this method to deter the slaves from revolting or any other unwanted acts. *Plantation owner would make a “deal” with the hardest working male slave to bore 10 children and he will be set free. Creating the stereotype of black men leaving and abandoning their children. *Harriet Tubman’s first husband, a freed man, tried to discourage Harriet’s mission to free as many slaves as she could he threatening to tell her over.

[wildlyunlikelybabe]

We were taught that about Abe but this is some important info

[athenadark]

Male slaves would have their teeth removed - the front two to mark them as slaves if they escaped and the back ones for sale

one of the reasons for landowners to back the revolution was that England had abolished slavery and wanted to bring it across to the colonies - one hundred years before slavery was abolished

the US has been responsible for almost every major conflict of the last one hundred years and interfered in the others almost always for drugs or oil

the great depression was entirely caused by the newly developed aggro farming of the 1920s

the US accidentally sank several ships of Jewish refugees in WW2 including one mostly full of children

[palaiasaurus64]

•in Africa the white men that were there to “collect” the slaves would give tribes guns. This was in order to have tribes turn against each other so the “weak” tribe members would be sent to America.

•During the Armenian Genocide, families would potentially be spared if the oldest daughter had her face and arms tattooed with blue X’s. These blue X’s signified that the Turkish soldiers could do anything they wanted to her. [I met a woman that this happened to, while she ended up having a husband and children and had some sort of happiness in life. It was hard to look at her. Not because of the X’s but by what happened to her because they were there.]

[gold-epoch]

*Southern black people were convicted of “crimes” (walking by the railroad, looking a certain way) after slavery had been abolished and forced to do hard labor like working in mines for weeks without seeing the sun where they had to drink stagnant water sitting at the bottom of the mines, being whipped and killed if they ran away. A lot of black people were put in jail during the cotton season when men, women, and children were whipped and killed while working in the fields.

*Southern black people were enslaved in this same time period (after slavery was abolished) through imaginary debt that white people claimed that they had and they couldn’t pay it back because the person that they were “indebted” to set all the terms.

*The literally “Constitution” of the Confederacy says that the point of their nation is slavery.  Don’t listen to people who say its about states rights.

*A lot of Republicans switched from being Democrats bc of the integrated military, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts because they didn’t want to vote in the same party as black people. The literal founding of their party is racism.

[blacksleepingbeauty]

- Native children were rounded up by white people and put into boarding schools where most of them were brutally beaten and raped repeatedly while also being banned from seeing their parents ever again.

- White men would rape their way into native bloodlines just so they could be “legally entitled” to land, money and livestock that was reserved for natives.

-Native reservations were purposely established in places that were uninhabitable (i.e. poor soil, sparse food & water etc.) This was a way of forcing assimilation.

-Many cultures of PoC recognized more than just 2 genders before white supremacy came in with that basic shit.

-Ghandi also beat his wife

-America has a very long history of wartime sexual violence

Let’s give a round of applause for bisexual trans men, one of the most underrepresented groups ever. Trans men are always assumed to either be gay or straight but, bisexual trans men exist and deserve to be noticed.

I hate my curly hair so much I'll brush it for like an hour and itll he smooth as silk but in literally like one minute there's at least 10 knots wHY

ADFADGSFDGKSFG 

BECAUSE IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE BRUSHED!! 

STOP BRUSHING OUT CURLY HAIR 2k19!!!

I hate this, because almost no one knows it. No one tells kids with curly hair how to actually take care of their hair.

You can’t treat curly hair like straight hair and expect the same results! You can’t! It doesn’t work! Curly hair gets its own routine! 

Okay, look, here’s the deal.

Your curls are… curls. They are MEANT to go together into a GROUP. They are not like straight hair which just hands out in one big… thing. Curls have groups.

By BRUSHING it, you are splitting those good-curl groups into separate strands, which, on their own, are STILL trying their goddamned best to curl, but now that they are away from their friends, they are only clinging haphazardly to each other as best as they can and creating tangles!

Here’s what brushed curly hair looks like:

Here’s what well-treated curly hair that has CURL-FRIENDS is supposed to look like (curl size may vary):

See how the curl is NOT only one strand of hair? It’s a whole group!

You know how you get those nice curls?

STOP BRUSHING.Give your curls back their curl-friends!

Okay, here’s the deal - you sit down. You look at this chart. Figure out your type of curl. (guesstimate)

And now you go to this website and you read about what curly hair actually needs to thrive, and you change your routine, and you promise me that you will NEVER disappoint your curls like that again!!!! 

Basics:

1) Curly hair is damaged by heat, lack of moisture, and sulfates in shampoo. 

 - No blowdrying - use a cotton towel or t-shirt to scrunch your hair and get extra moisture out, and allow to air-dry

 - Turn down the shower temp while washing hair. I mean it.

 - Try to find a better shampoo.

2) Curly hair NEEDS moisture, and it NEEDS leave-in conditioner.

 - Use lots of conditioner.

 - Use leave-in conditioner

 - Try to use water spray over chemical setting sprays. 

3) Curly hair does not need to be brushed, only combed with a wide-tooth comb.

 - Comb the hair through with your fingers while in the shower and detangle while you have conditioner in. 

 - Comb again with a wide-toothed comb after the shower if needed

 - If you need to, use a twist of some sort to keep hair out of the way, but don’t squeeze it too much - give it room to breathe!

More tips from smarter people probably exist but that’s the basic stuff.

PLEASE be nice to your curly hair.

URGENT DO NOT SCROLL PAST

Just as we were about to renew the lease on our home, my husband lost his one and only contract (He was freelancing…), making me the sole breadwinner of the family…. three of our four children live with us today!!!

Unfortunately, we will have to move to an extended stay by the end of this week.

We have until THURSDAY, JANUARY 31st, 2019 to raise $1,500 

to cover movers, UHAUL expenses, and first month’s storage costs (All of our belongings do not fit in the new place), and half of security deposit for the new place (We are able to cover the other half.)

Any and all extra will go towards groceries and other living expenses…

You can help one of three ways!!!!
