People saying Larry should’ve brought Soul Food are missing the point that it’s an INTERNATIONAL Potluck. Soul Food is the product of West Africans making do with what little they were given by their enslavers. More over, because those recipes have been copied by American corporations to fill their chain restaurant menus, it wouldn’t be an out-of-the-ordinary or enlightening experience for the people attending the potluck. Going to Europe and then only eating McDonald’s isn’t immersing yourself in the culture

As for those saying he should’ve used a DNA testing service like 23 and Me or Ancestry, be mindful that the test only locates the general region (Eastern Europe, Scandinavian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, etc.). Even if the test could accurately pinpoint the exact country in Africa, there are often multiple distinct ethnic and language groups present---many of which are spread across national borders---because today’s maps were drawn by European colonizers based on access to resources and NOT according to the ancestral territory for any one ethnicity

[djpaige13paige]

Basically if you get this message, don’t click on it, instead tell the person that you received that message. That way they know that they were hacked.

If I ever send you any message, especially if it has a link, message me back about the message before you click on the link. I will understand because things like this^^ can happen.

This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more.

[arithanas]

This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. It’s a fear tactic, alright but—

The first one in the left corner: It’s a first communion rosary, and it’s not cheap.

The black one in the first line: That’s a widow rosary and it’s old.

The white one in the second line:  is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I haven’t seen that since the 70′s.

In the third line, multicolor one: It’s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministery’s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80′s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. It’s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different.  The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, that’s a 50′s rosary, probably a quinceañera one (or it’s maybe older, from the 40′s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings).

The fifth one on the fourth line: It’s a quinceañera rosary with Ignatius’s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young. The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesn’t look new. The fifth one on the fifth line: That’s a 90′s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date. The fourth one on the last line: That’s a first communion rosary from the 30′s. It’s delicate and most probably silver. The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But those  I described are much more.

Those are mother’s rosaries.

Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, that’s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families. It’s not a fear tactic. Call it like by its name. It’s dehumanization.

I wonder why the Evangelicals aren’t outraged by this instance of the federal government actually repressing Christians and denying their right to worship...

I just looked this up and HOLY SHIT IT’S REAL?

[itsalburton]

Fandoms were a mistake

[socialistexan]

I think now, more than ever, we need to remember these wise words from Terry Pratchett. Satire is meant to punch up, to ridicule those with the most power, not to punch down at those that are hurting or oppressed.

People that punch those who are weaker than them or already hurt are bullies, especially if you're doing it for a laugh.

[socialistexan]

I always come back to the example that edgylords love to use as a shield: Mel Brooks.

These status quo warriors always whine about how Muh EssJayDoublueEws or whatever would keep Brooks from making a movie today because "they don't get satire." Well, let me tell you, I spend a hell of a lot of time in leftist and social justice oriented circles, and plenty of people in those circles, myself included, love Mel Brooks.

This might catch a few people off guard. How could I enjoy Brooks's work with my ideals? Because Brooks knew how to use satire to punch up.

Take Blazing Saddles, the go to example for the "it's just a joke" crowd. I've seen this movie more times than I can count, it was one of the first rated-r movies I got to see, so trust me when I say I know this movie backwards and forwards. I think these people think because certain words are used in this movie, it would be ran out of town by a pitchfork wielding mob.

Here's the problem though, Brooks only uses those words to show a character is either 1) evil, 2) stupid/ignorant, or 3) both.

The main villain uses a slur to demonstrate that, hey, this is a bad dude, this is a bad guy. The residents of Rock Ridge use slurs against Sheriff Bart to demonstrate that they are ignorant, and you'll notice they stop using it once they're on his side.

The movie goes out of its way to show that the racist people in Rock Ridge that used slurs against Sheriff Bart are stupid because of it:

The very first scene, the Railroad one, goes to great lengths to show the ranch hands/cowboys, the people who would be heroes in a traditional Western and the archetype worshiped by the cultural right in this country, to be idiotic henchman that believe in wrongheaded stereotypes ("y'know, the Camptown Ladies!") while the railworking black men are cunning and intelligent. If that scene was made by any of these selfproclaimed satirist chuds, the cowboys would ask the the railworkers for a song and the railworkers would burst out into a lively rendition of the Camptown Ladies in an over the top minstrel-show style and that would be their satire.

I really hope you can see the difference there.

These are people that think that Eric Cartman and Archie Bunker are meant as relatable role models rather than over-exaggerated jabs at those with social power.

This only a snippet of Brooks's work, I recommend (if you have the time) to watch Lindsay Ellis's video essay on why Mel Brooks isn't the Edgelord God people think he is:

[itsalburton]

Satirical comedy was Mel Brook’s way of dealing with all the shit he experienced during the Holocaust. Turning Hitler into an effeminate, laughable wimp (the polar opposite of what Nazis want to be) and making his party look like a bunch of incompetent dumbasses (rather than the “efficient, logical protectors of the Noble White Race(TM)” they think they are) was both healing and profitable

And before any motherfucker tries to call him a self-hating anti-Semite because he sprinkled a few Rabbi jokes into the mix, remember that Jewish comedians are well-known for self-depreciating humor---as opposed to mocking other groups using the old, stale-ass stereotypes that a majority White audience actually believes to be true. Not to mention how the Rabbi jokes went along with the laughable Nazis, almost like he was asking the audience “Is THAT what these people really thought/think Jews are like?” before then showing the Nazis getting their asses humiliatingly kicked and the Jewish characters living happily after after

[candycourse-ofcourse]

the maps coined a new term to call themselves

P.E.A.R,aka  “pro-expression, anti-repression"  was a term coined by well known pedophile 4-lung stay safe y’all,and block these sick freaks

[ashlake]

theyve also been using the pear emoji along with the acronym to identify each other

[frottinq]

Because “MAP” was too blatant and lets you know what their real intentions are when you explain that acronym. This one, you have to actually delve into why they call it this. This is literally them trying to rebrand pedophilia a second time because the first time wasnt good enough.

The man gets sexual feelings for his teenage stepdaughter, cheats on his wife with her, divorces wife and marries her when she’s 18, produces and directs movies that feature teen sex, comes out of his hole to support sex predator Harvey Weinstein, then claims he’s “done what many #MeToo women dream of” because he hires young women to be a fucking creep towards

In case you didn't know how evil Jeff Bezos is, just this week:

1) Whole Foods, which is owned by Amazon owned by Bezos, cut health care for its part time workers

2) The Washington Post Express, which hired 20 journalists and 75 distributors for short printed newspapers to DC commuters, closed this week with less than 24 hours notice. Express was owned by The Washington Post which is owned by Bezos. Unlike WaPo, Express journalists were not Union and received no protection.

The richest man in the world can't be allowed to keep buying everything he wants. His reckless pursuit of profit for himself is going to start fucking over every worker in this damn country if he keeps snatching up businesses. He could pay for healthcare out of his own pocket, he could have personally given Express workers severance, but he won't. We can't live in Bezos's economy; we'd all be killed.
