John Boyega Silences Critics With His Best Response Yet

The 'Star Wars' actor makes us happy time and time again.

“I’m grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. A confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man,” he said. “I’m proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me. I wasn’t raised to fear people with a difference of opinion. They are merely victims of a disease in their mind. To get into a serious dialogue with people who judge a person based on the melanin in their skin? They’re stupid, and I’m not going to lose sleep over people.”

“I just don’t get it. You guys got every single alien in this movie imaginable to man. With tentacles, five eyes. Aliens that, if they existed, we’d definitely have an issue,” he said. “We’d have to get them to the government and be, like, ‘What are you?’ Yet what you want to do is fixate on another human being’s color. You need to go back to school and unlearn what you have learned.”

Well I guess he told them!

straight boys are weak and pathetic, queer girls walk into the ladies changing room and see ten women naked, do they stare? do they say something inappropriate? do they make them uncomfortable? no because they have the common fucking sense to recognise when a situation is sexual and that people deserve the most basic level of respect to not be harassed, yet here we are banning shorts and low cut tops in school because straight boys are weak and pathetic

[floozys-deactivated20180908]

98% of white people did not own slaves–move along

[swaggerernationalsocialist]

And I’d be willing to bet that 1.6% is too high a number considering plenty of blacks, native americans, and other non-whites owned slaves too.

[lovingtradition-deactivated2016]

The arab-african slave trade had more white slaves from eastern Europe than all Africans sold to Americans by African slave traders.

[pryathis]

Not to mention the majority of the “white” families in america were still in europe when slavery was prevalent.

[ima-fuckingt4ble]

Interesting

[wedontneedsocialjusticewarriors]

I knew most people didn’t own slaves but… 1.6%? That’s quite a small number to judge every single white person with.

Featuring: A historically accurate post that won’t get notes because it doesn’t support the narrative that it is acceptable to hate white people for slavery.

[grannythots-deactivated20190917]

I actually didn’t know that. 

Also, it was touched upon, but not all slave owners were white. American =/= white. 

[moved-to-schyphe-deactivated202]

You guys are so ignorant, it’s painful. Yes, only 1.6 of you owned slaves. But what about the rest of your ancestors who did nothing to stop slavery? Who made us use “colored” bathrooms? Learn your fucking history. Also, you know, the effects of slavery are still obvious in America today, with minorities going to college less, and being poorer.

[justareallyrudewitch]

And here we see the strawman, hard at work in his field of misconceptions.

[moved-to-schyphe-deactivated202]

You didn’t get bored of trolling yet?

[pepperandbacon]

This is actually so much more ignorant of a post than you even let on, Shark (can I call you Shark?)

A relatively small amount of people owned slaves for the same reason that a small amount of people today own large farms or factories, for the same reason that a small percentage of people own a mansion. Slaves were a labor force or for personal servitude or both, and neither was necessary or affordable for the average person.

But in order to get to the people who “did nothing to stop” slavery (and supported it tacitly with consumption), you have to go by the people who captured people, brought them here, sold them, oversaw and brutalized them in plantation fields, availed themselves of labor, captured and reported escapees, upheld the myth of white supremacy… You didn’t have to own a slave to be complicit in slavery. 

And all of that’s before slavery ended. Y’all love to pretend that when black people are fed up with white people we’re just “mad about slavery.” Like we’ve gotta reach back centuries for grievances… why, when you’re pulling shit like this today?

But I mean this whole thing is moot because According to the actual 1860 Census results (which OP didn’t link to) that statistic is a fucking lie anyway.  The “less than 2%” is the lower end of what’s commonly said in reference to Confederate soldiers, and even that is intellectually dishonest bullshit.

This is a post about race literally cosigned by an actual nazi and you anti shits are piling all over it like ants drowning themselves in syrup, so that tells us plenty (that we already know).

-Michael

(PS) few people bothered to touch on this, but black slave owners  made up less than 1% of slaveowners, many owning 1 or a few slaves by virtue of purchasing friends or family members.

[reproductivejusticeandliberty]

Gotta love it when anti-sjws/anti-fems align themselves with Nazis. Just keep showing your true colours, y'all. -V

[honey-tea-stuff]

it was done at school. And a teacher might’ve seen part of it happening. THAT. Really pisses me off. This makes me so sick

[gehayi]

Chris Plaskon walked up to Maren Sanchez at 7:15 in the morning on the day of the junior prom and asked her to go with him. When she said no, she was going with her boyfriend—which he knew already—he stabbed her in the neck.

Which means, does it not, that he came to school carrying a knife, prepared to murder her if she said no.

This wasn’t about a sixteen-year-old being unexpectedly set off by rejection. He brought the murder weapon to the crime scene. And he made sure to ask her very early, when few people would be around.

I don’t know what his motive was—but it wasn’t the prom. He had the means and he created the opportunity.This was premeditated.

[iron-sunrise]

There’s something very, very wrong with this article.

[serafinacastaway]

No.

Why are they discussing how “great of a kid” he was? How he was strange, but never dangerous? How no one saw it coming even though he was obsessed with her for two freaking years.

He brought a knife with him to school that day.

He brought a knife with him that day, knowing good and damn well he would ask her to prom. He knew, when he brought that knife with him, that she would turn him down due to being in a relationship.

You asked a girl in a committed relationship out on a date, and then got angry and “snapped” when she acted on the fact that she was in a committed relationship and said no, instead of miraculously going against it and saying yes to you.

But we all know he didn’t really snap. No, not when he packed the murder weapon on you ahead of time. Not when he cornered her during a low traffic time. Not when he knew she was seeing someone. Not when he knew she’d say no. No, he knew what would happen, but felt so entitled to her and her body that when she dared to say no, he felt justified in taking her life so that no one else could have her.

But the media talks about his model family? How he was strange but funny and happy and a class clown who enjoyed making others laugh? How he was a nice guy? How devastated his family is?

His? The attacker? The murderer? The one who felt so entitled to someone just because he liked her that he felt justified in stabbing her because she dared to tell him no?

What about her? What about her family, who has to live day in and day out with the fact that this boy felt so entitled to their child that he felt entitled to determine whether she lived or died? What about them, who have to move forward without seeing her because some rude, selfish, evil thing couldn’t take the word no and planned to kill her as soon as he heard it? What about them?

You don’t get to stab an innocent girl in the neck and have the media humanize you. I don’t care if you were a little depressed now and then, I don’t care if you have ADD. No one cares that you seemed to be a well adjusted, cheerful kid and that your actions were “so unexpected.”

You MURDERED someone for refusing your advances.

The media needs to STOP humanizing this evil, dangerous, selfish thing. It’s what’s wrong with the world.

[spookyram]

Why is anyone trying to defend this monster what is wrong with people?

[yepski-deactivated20210409]

Kinda messed

[failisuck-deactivated20151124]

I was inspired by several articles about the Tampon Tax recently and some of the protests against the categorization of tampons as “luxury items,” so I made this up. It’s funny because it’s true.

[profeminist]

Tampons are a “luxury item”

[gehayi]

Once I worked as an intern in the state capital. One of the representatives I worked for was this middle-aged guy. And he hated the tampon and napkin machines in the women’s bathrooms. Hated them. He insisted that they weren’t necessary.

I found out why after I’d been working there, oh, about a month. My period started suddenly, as it sometimes does, and I asked to excuse myself to go to the ladies’ room. He wanted to know why. I told him.

He started ranting about how lazy women were. How we wasted time. How we were so careless and unhygenic, and that there was no call for that. He finished by telling me that I certainly was NOT going to the ladies’ room and that I was just going to sit there and work. He finished this off with a decisive nod, as if I’d just be told and there could be no possible argument.

“If I don’t go,” I said in an overly patient tone, “the blood is going to soak through my pants, stain my new skirt that I just bought, and possibly get on this chair I’m sitting in. I need something to soak up the blood. That’s why I need to go to the bathroom.”

His face turned oatmeal-gray; an expression of pure horror spread across his face. He leaned forward and whispered, “Wait, you mean that if you don’t go, you’ll just keep on bleeding? I thought that women could turn it off any time that they wanted!”

I thought,  You have got to be kidding.

Several horrified whispers later, I learned that he wasn’t. He actually thought a) that women could shut down the menstrual cycle at will, b) that we essentially picked a week per month to spend more time in the bathroom, i.e. to goof off, and c) that napkins and tampons were sex toys paid for by Health and Human Services. I didn’t know the term then, but he believed that tampons were dildos. Which was why he and a good number of his friends considered them luxuries.

And that’s how, at twenty, I had to give a talk on menstruation to a middle-aged married state representative who was one of my bosses. American politics, ladies and gentlemen.
