I was rewatching igot7 and roommate because I was curious about how much they’ve changed over time and WOOOOOOOW

Within two years it’s like JB and Jackson are two different sets of people. They’re both much quieter and while thats not a negative change it still signifies a change that could be due to negative reasons. Or am I wrong?

Idk I just feel like Jackson specifically doesn’t smile as much (and if it’s a result of being overworked it’s no wonder).

It always strikes a chord within me when he mentions how his members are like his family because of how much he likely misses them when he’s alone on a variety show either in China or Korea itself. He’s brought up a couple of times how he tries but isn’t successful in building relationships with the people he’s meant to appear close to; it has to hurt him. (It makes me wonder how close he actually is to people like RM or Jooheon, though thats because theres a lack of interaction. One of the only people I saw him be close with outside of his members was Youngji not just because of their screentime together but because they both mentioned each other multiple times, so I’m kinda bummed they seem to have went their separate ways as it seems)

Anyway this is just me rambling and hoping that Jackson is truly happy and that he gets to enjoy time with his members.

I’m over this White Feminist™ idea that naked equals empowered it’s a lot more complex than that.

It is just unconscionable that this could be allowed to happen and all I hear in national news outlets is about well off folks some billionaires trying to gain more power. Clean water is a basic human right! It’s a damn shame some go without. #Hate it!

I hate white people so much

A GoFundMe account set up to benefit Walker’s family had raised more than $80,000 by Thursday night.

I’m so tired of y’all trying to justify cops who shot #KorrynGaines. I’m tired of y’all not listening.

Korryn Gaines was NOT using her child as a shield.

She was scared to lose him. She was trying to protect him. Because cops don’t care if the victim is 5, 23 or 50 years old just as long as they are Black.

How come a SWAT team in bullet proof vests couldn’t disarm a tiny woman without killing her when they successfully managed to disarm this guy ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

OR THIS GUY ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

OR THESE GUYS  ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ ⇓

There are plenty more examples and guess what’s one common thing about them?

THE COLOR OF THEIR DAMN SKIN.

Korryn Gaines shouldn’t have been unarmed for you to #SayHerName if you consider yourself pro Black.

You can’t be pro Black if you’re trying to justify the oppressive force!

Injustice in America #DavontaeSanford

Davontae Sanford might’ve been a man when he was exonerated, but he was no man when he was wrongfully framed, forced into a confession and convicted for a quadruple murder he did not commit.

He was just a boy — a black boy, completely blind in one eye and developmentally impaired — who was found by police wandering in a Detroit neighborhood in his pajamas the night the murder took place in a nearby drug house.

^^^^^^^Vincent Smothers, who was later found guilty for the slayings, was barred from confessing at Sanford’s trial.

He wasn’t bloody. He didn’t have a murder weapon. He wasn’t covered in gunshot residue from the dozen bullets he would’ve had to fire to kill four people. He wasn’t seen going in and out of the house by eyewitnesses. He wasn’t known as a local thug who’d kill you if you crossed him.

He was just young and black, in the wrong place at the wrong time. Only 14 years old, Davontae Sanford, after being picked up by police in his pajamas and taken to a local precinct, was interrogated for two days without an attorney or any family present. Finally, Sanford confessed. Any child under so much pressure would’ve considered the same thing.

Think back to when you were 14 years old and imagine what it would be like to spend every day of every year for nine years in prison for murders you didn’t commit. When I was 14, I barely had my first real kiss, still loved playing video games and had sleepovers with my buddies. From ages 14 to 23, I was assaulted, had three spinal surgeries, recovered, graduated high school, moved to Atlanta to attend Morehouse College, met the love of my life, got married, became student government president at Morehouse, traveled to Africa for the first time, earned my college degree, got my first real job as a school teacher and became a father. Those nine years might’ve been the most formative years of my life.
