What has the Black Lives Matter Uprising Accomplished?

[jstor]

Institutionalized racism

It’s taken us too long to post this on Tumblr, we’re sorry. We’ve compiled a syllabus that is free to all that addresses institutionalized racism and how it’s caused historic, pointed harm at the Black community in the U.S. Understanding history is key to understanding the present, and in order to make real changes, we need to fully understand the racist history of the U.S. Black Lives Matter.

#BlackLivesMatter

And for all the "all lives matter" & "I don't see color" people: of course everyone's life matters. It's just that some people's lives are much more endangered than others. (You don't respond to "Save the rainforest" with "All forests matter.") If you can't see that, you are choosing not to see it. Being "colorblind" is just another aspect of privilege. Take a minute to consider things from another lens.

taylor is my safe space, like when I’m sad i play taylor music, when I’m happy i play taylor music, when I’m anxious i play taylor music, when I’m happy I come on tumblr to talk to taylor, when I’m sad I come on tumblr to talk to taylor. Thank you taylor for being my safe place I could’ve never imagined music or a person to impact me that way but I’m so grateful <3

I went to a workshop and we were practicing interview questions. The judge asked me which famous female I admire the most and I went on a solid 1 1/2 min rant about how much I love and admire @taylorswift

(side note: you're given 1 1/2 mins with each pageant judge and I used the entire time talking about the queen herself 😂)
