[gahdamnpunk]

She said “Bet!” 😂😂

[pajamboree]

my favorite thing was this guy said all this and not once did the word “native americans” crossed his mind

[indigenousandangry]

Natives rarely cross white peoples’ minds. Ya’ll know this.

There should be a White History Month in America. That way we can teach all about the things White Americans have done in history, like:

Cherokee Trail of Tears

Japanese American internment

Philippine-American War

Jim Crow

The genocide of Native Americans

Transatlantic slave trade

The Middle Passage

The history of White American racism

Black Codes

Slave patrols

Ku Klux Klan

The War on Drugs

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

How white racism grew out of slavery and genocide

How whites still benefit from slavery and genocide

White anti-racism

The Southern strategy

The rape of black slave women

CORE

Madison Grant

The Indian Wars

Human zoos

How the Jews became white

White flight

Redlining

Proposition 14

Homestead Act

Tulsa Riots

Rosewood massacre

Tuskegee Experiment

Lynching

Hollywood stereotypes

Indian Appropriations Acts

Immigration Act of 1924

Sundown towns

Chinese Exclusion Act

Emmett Till

Vincent Chin

Islamophobia

Indian boarding schools

King Philip’s War

Bacon’s Rebellion

American slavery compared to Arab, Roman and Latin American slavery

History of the gun

History of the police

History of prisons

History of white suburbia

Lincoln’s racism and anti-racism

George Wallace

Fox News

Cointelpro

Real estate steering

School tracking

Mass incarceration of black men

Boston school busing riots

And so on. No fear of running out of topics: there is more than one a day! I am sure my commenters can come up with tons more, probably some big ones that are not coming to mind at the moment (I did not list slavery, the abolitionist movement, the civil war, Reconstruction or Lincoln since they are, in fact, covered in history class, however poorly).

whitewashing history..When the movie uses a white woman to play the part of the real life 1st black wife of Johnny Cash..

[bahamianqueen94]

Wow! I didn’t know she was black

[sale-aholic-deactivated20190809]

I didn’t either.

[myblackside]

YOOOOOO!

[thehalfricanhoodpoet-deactivate]

Wow

[hi-imkingdavid]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW

[ahhh-marrr-reeee]

INT THAT SOME SHIT 

[hi-imkingdavid]

I’m still in disbelief. I’m doing research on this now to see how they even got this off

[momworries]

Woooooow!!!!!!!!

[thehoppaz]

She was clearly black passing as “Italian American” for privilege and marriage during Jim Crow. The movie ignores backlash over her race and how it could have led to him leaving her for June. The movie doesn’t even show her with him at the courthouse when the “negro wife” propaganda photo was taken but has them breaking up shortly after. Even if they didn’t truly believe she was black, they could have casted someone that other whites would mistake for black and put their relationship in better context. take it how you want, but whitewashing never the less

[dynastylnoire]

And for the folks in the notes, you can be racist and still be relationships with black people.

Though per his daughters he wasn’t and told the alt right etc. To no longer use his music for their events

[mysouthernsass-deactivated20190]

That’s wild.

[krxs10]

The Police Union in Missouri just declared “Darren Wilson Day” on the anniversary of Mike Brown…..

[thischichere-deactivated2017021]

This can’t be real😒😩

[krxs10]

it’s hella real and disgusting

[maxknightley]

lmao the “unintended message” is still loud and clear, friendo

[scum2000]

what the fuck

[onlyblackgirl]

Tf does he need a day for? Murder?

[mayagaster]

TIL the Missourri police celebrate Murder Day every year

[virtuheaux]

Anyways, I hope all the fucks who okayed this, die painfully.

[schizotrichia]

The OFFICERS who endure similar situations? Are you goddamn shitting me? That fucker straight up murdered someone. The only thing he ENDURED was his own consciously committed criminal act. Meanwhile, an innocent boy is DEAD. What about what Michael Brown endured? What about what his FAMILY endured? Fuck everyone who enables crybaby criminal white men and their false martyrdom. Fuck them forever.

[gabidabidoo]

Wow. I have no words.

When I look at you, life begins to make sense. All the past dips, all the earthquakes and disastrous heartbreaks only exist to writing this story with you.

The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself - this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc - and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.

[deliciousstomach-deactivated202]

Never heard a truer thing in my life.

[bogleech]

holy shit wait you mean being just morbidly terrified of doing anything wrong ISN’T necessarily the same as being “well behaved?!”

[themuditaendeavour]

Convenient children =/= healthy children

[absolutely-walnuts]

Convenient children do not equal healthy children

Whenever I come across a trainee in customer service (like a cashier, or a sales rep), there is usually a senior/experienced employee with them doing the training and they always apologise for the trainee. “Sorry, they’re learning.” And I always respond with, “That’s good! We all have to learn.”

Even when I got a new phone and had to wait five hours for them to process the purchase (it was on a contract so there were a lot of forms and regulatory steps to finalise), when the trainee went to the back and I was alone with the store manager, I made a point in how impressed I was with the trainee’s performance. The relief on her face was prudent and they were extremely grateful for my patience.

We don’t discourage children from learning. We don’t lambast them when they can’t perform a task that an experienced person can do. Humans aren’t born with the inherent ability to work a credit card facility. We are born to learn and develop skills that help ourselves and each other.

The only decent thing we can do is be patient and encourage each other to become the best at what we do.

A couple things I've learned since being pregnant and thought I would pass that wisdom to you lovely folks.

Don't bring up miscarriage. Just. Don't. Not yours or someone you knew or how you hear they happen. Stop.

Don't ask if she's getting enough protein/vitamins/whatever. I promise you she's doing enough research on her own. Your opinions aren't needed.

Don't comment on weight gain. I promise you, we know we're gaining weight, and aren't totally comfortable with it yet. No OMG you're starting to get a bump! No OMG maybe it's twins! Again, just don't.

Don't touch her belly without asking first! She may not want you touching her belly!

Please for the love of God do not tell her your birth horror story. You all have them. I gained SO much weight! I tore completely open! Girl. We're already pretty terrified. Keep it to yourself until after babe is born.

Don't comment on the baby name. We don't need your opinion. We don't need to hear a story about so and so that you knew with that name. We've put a lot of thought into it. Thanks.

Alright! PSA over. Good luck!

And when you choose a life partner, you’re choosing a lot of things, including your parenting partner and someone who will deeply influence your children, your eating companion for about 20,000 meals, your travel companion for about 100 vacations, your primary leisure time and retirement friend, your career therapist, and someone whose day you’ll hear about 18,000 times.
