Witness my undying love for the Croatian National Team that I express through memes. Also a long-suffering fan of Arsenal FC.

I don't think people point this out often enough but think about every single fucker that stormed the Capitol:

- An adjunct professor

- A lawyer

- A real estate agent

- A state legislator

- A CEO of a company

A LOT of these people, thorough their occupations, family connections, what-have-you, all had varying degrees of institutional power to inflict their menacing politics on people and harm them. Do you think a MAGA real estate agent is gonna help a black family looking for a good home at a fair price without regards to whatever the neighborhood is? Do you think that MAGA teacher or that MAGA university adjunct professor is treating his non-white students fairly? Are you sure that MAGA CEO gives a single fuck about creating a safe working environment or not discriminating against employees that aren't white? We all know the power of a racist legislator, but even a single racist, with the backing of the white supremacy system, can ruin a life pretty effortlessly.

White supremacy is a cancer. It infests and infects every aspect of a person's life. It is truly insidious.

I don't know how to wrap this up conclusively but maybe this tweet thread will sum it up better

[blacktabris]

People really need to get rid of the belief that it's only rural, poor, uneducated white men who are racist and capable of exhibiting the extremist views that are nurtured in our white supremacist society.

It's doctors and teachers and first responders and bankers - all sorts of fucking people who hold a lot more power than being in a giant pick up truck tailgating you on a dirt road. There's literally no escaping them. They made the system.

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..

ches

I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..

[shez-a-b0mbshell]

Reblogging for those of you who think Africa is only what the media and movies portrays it to be

[teddybearnova]

This fucks me up because it’s scary to think that we can be showed something all our lives and not even know it’s a lie

[2ollux-double-bulge]

And that my friend is the power of propaganda, indoctrination, and media

[the-collecting-turnip-deactivat]

Are these pictures of South Africa or of Africa as a whole? 

[fgsshinyhoard]

@the-collecting-turnip From top to bottom:

1. Port Elizabeth (South Africa)

2. Unknown

3. Nairobi (Kenya)

4. Pretoria (South Africa)

5. Aburi Botanical Gardens (Ghana)

6. Cape Town (South Africa)

7. Pretoria (South Africa)

8. Harare (Zimbabwe)

9. Windhoek (Namibia)

10. Windhoek (Namibia)

To @kushandwizdom this is a rather unfair portrayal of Africa as a whole since half of these are literally just South Africa.  So Instead to add to this post and better dispel the myth of Africa as the vast wasteland of poverty most people think, I found a much more mixed collection of pics from various countries.

Luanda, Angola

Agadir, Morocco

Lagos, Nigeria

Cairo, Egypt

Port Louis, Mauritius

Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire

Algiers, Algeria

Tripoli, Libya

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Tunis, Tunisia

So, there, a much better case demonstrating the various major cities around Africa showing it isn’t some technologically backwards continent, but actually pretty up-and-coming in the world of commerce.

I once was talking to my Ethiopian manager about ignorant people asking her dumb shit about her life before she moved to the states…

the worst story she told me about was when she told a fellow student (at a fairly prestigious university) about a concert she went to back home. The other student responded with “omg you have music there!?” 🤦🏾‍♀️

[cricketcat9]

Rebloging, because we need to see these pictures. 

As for stupid questions: “do you have grocery stores in Ecuador?”

[justgot1]

These are great!

A redneck neighbor once asked my mom (in the 80s) if they had cars in Peru. Sigh.

This is the product of poor world history in school & little current affairs coverage outside Western Europe, except for catastrophes, so all we see are the war torn, poverty stricken, disaster-affected parts on the news. And racism, of course.

[lettingitoutabit-deactivated202]

I bet most Americans who think that African countries are just completely poverty stricken have no idea what the US looks like in its poorest areas, not everywhere in the US is nice suburbs or unrealistically large apartments on tv

[for-southendgirls]

Los Angeles, California

Hartford, Connecticut

New Orleans, Louisiana

Camden, New Jersey

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

McDowell County, West Virginia

Flint, Michigan

Washington, D.C.

[pokemon-personalities]

Happy holidays to everyone whose holiday isn’t what they want it to be. whether it is illness, poverty, distance from loved ones or something else that’s making things tough for you this year, i hope that you can find peace and warmth. i hope that your year will end and start on a brighter note

[biglawbear]

[jlhgiyftr75587ityjgfhdsetljdse]

I am an old person and tumblr is the porch

[spokenitalics]

@ mutuals this is how i see us

[leclerc-xo]

Sat watching Sky Sports News and a segment about the World Cup comes on. The reporter points out that identifying as LGBT is against the law in Qatar and it then cuts to one of the directors for the WC talking about how they are ‘conservative and have their views’ but they are welcoming. He then goes on to say that public displays of affection are not allowed and they would hope people will ‘respect’ that. 

That is why we will never get anywhere in regards to footballers being able to come out. That is why campaigns such as Rainbow Laces feel somewhat hollow. Because so long as football continues to value the highest bidder for these things, no matter their abhorrent views, it is not possible. 

Fuck The FA for pretending that clubs waving a few flags and using some laces for one weekend a year is enough to make us believe there is ‘progress’ being made and fuck FIFA for being a corrupt piece of shit organisation.

I wish I didn’t like sports sometimes
