Abdul-Jabbar: ‘More whites believe in ghosts than believe in racism’

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar appeared on ABC’s “

The May 4 Sunday news shows sought outside-the-Beltway perspective for talking about American race relations, booking stars from the basketball and music industries to analyze racist comments made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Guests included Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am and former basketball stars Kevin Johnson (now the mayor of Sacramento, Calif.) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Abdul-Jabbar, who worked under Sterling for three months as a Los Angeles Clippers coach in 2000, offered his thoughts on the controversy last week in a Time op-ed, saying Sterling’s racially disparaging remarks revealed in a leaked voicemail were not a surprise given other discrimination over recent years.

Abdul-Jabbar, said racism remains part of American culture.

White people rate his claim Mostly False.

The female ‘confidence gap’ is a sham

Women’s lack of confidence could be just a keen understanding of just how little society values them, writes Jessica Valenti  (via guardian)

If you think this isn’t the damn truth you should know that a few years back, my campus newspaper ran an article that said fat women should be grateful for rape because it’s the only way they’ll ever feel worthy of a man’s attention.

I shit you not.

[englishistheartofbullshit]

yeah, I’ve been told on multiple occasions during casual conversations that I’m not pretty/skinny enough to be raped, so that’s a thing

[lacigreen]

this disgusts the core of my being.

Let me tell you something about today. Today was the hottest day of the year in New Jersey, I woke up sweating despite air conditioning because it was 95 degrees. Now, i did what any logical person would do and I put on my favorite pair of shorts so i wouldn’t be sweating throughout the day.

        Even in my shorts i was sweating my balls off but I went through half of my day as normal, no boys stared at my ass or tried to grope me in public yet when i went to the the cafeteria a teacher told me to go to the office because he finds my shorts inappropriate. I head down to the office to find a group of girls wearing shorts and skirts sitting in a small room in the office, we where all ordered to call our parents or to change into the clothes they had offered us from the school store. These items of clothing included sweatpants and a large heavy sweatshirt. I obviously refused to where those because it was 95 degrees and when you are sweating the key to cool down is NOT to put on more clothes. They told me I would have to stay in that room the whole day if it came down to it.

      I was able to leave the office when my friend gave me a pair of yoga pants. The man who made me go down to the office brought down several other girls as I was leaving, at this point they didn’t care how long the shorts where they just sent everyone who was wearing a pair down. They warned me that if I put my shorts back on they would right me up. 

     I put them back on anyway because just walking down the hallway in those yoga pants made me faint, dizzy,and extremely hot. Thats the main issue, it is hot enough for people to pass out in school but to the school system they would rather a girl suffer from a heat stroke then to have a boy become  turned on. My shorts don’t say “COme fuck me in the middle of class” they say,”Its warm out”

The sexualizing of innocent students is not okay

Risking students health is not okay

and tHE LACK OF FEMINISM IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WILL NEVER BE OKAY

Today was literally horrible

I hate our school so much

I can’t reblog this enough omg

[aphotographersparadise]

Okay so it has been exactly one year since i made this post and just as the weather is increasingly hotter, the amount of times this is reblogged also increases. The fact that I get so many positive messages and notes helps affirm my beliefs that one day issues like this will lessen (because they really shouldn’t be issues in the first place.)

But i did write this in a hurry, left out a few important factors, and i have received about 50 hateful/life threatening messages because of this post. So naturally i feel like i should add onto the story:

95 is extremely hot in NJ so don’t say that i’m complaining, people have died in that sort of weather. and i regret wearing that shirt but i should have added into the post that I took off the shirt to become more comfortable  and asked to put it back on because i was wearing a tank-top underneath and that against school policy too. 

"five dollar foot long" with an arrow pointing down, that was what one dude-bro tanktop said about a week after i posted this. He did got get in trouble. There was also a group of boys recently who wore short shorts like they wear in some 1980s movie, they did not get in trouble. So don’t say things like "girls just get in trouble because they are the only ones being inappropriate.”

It isn’t healthy to force impressionable girls into fearing how they look or what they wear. That’s why i said “sexualizing.” As many tumblr post say, you should tell boys not to look at girls instead of forcing girls to change

The schools dean of behavior literally went over the loudspeaker and said “all girls wearing shorts come down to the main office” Yea, it isn’t focused at girls AT ALL!

I’m almost done! As the last photo says, “this should not be our biggest problem.” I was sent down and held at the office becuase i didn’t have a change of clothes. This rules was meant to prevent distraction in the school place but I was unable to get any school work done that day! And if i would have decided to wear the sweatpants they offered i would be distracted by my body’s uncomfortable heat  throughout the day.

Thank you all I know this post is long but so is the history of the patriarchy. Think before you send hate, but if you are still angry enough to send send me hate

i’m ready

I need feminism because most men’s restrooms still aren’t equipped with baby changing stations. As someone who was married to a man who had sole custody of his young son, I’m hyperaware that feminism means EQUALITY, not female superiority. Feminism should and does support a man’s right to be as much of a parent to his child(ren) as any mother is allowed/expected to be.

[avocadamnit-deactivated20161008]

This is a constant problem for Mr. Tea and myself. We’ve got twins, so even though I can change one kid on the change table in the ladies’ room, he’s left standing sort of awkwardly in the lobby with a messy child while I change one, come back, and get the other.

Nobody’s suggesting that men aren’t parents, so the lack of change tables goes well beyond ‘gender role reinforcing’ and straight into ‘ridiculous’.

Ok so i don’t know how many of you saw my embroidery set from last year showing women in film statistics, but to tie in with International Women’s day over on Screenqueens and the learning I’ve done in the past year, I’ve added a couple more.

An awesome, catchy video at perfectly captures how pop culture is often times very narrow and takes the vantage point of a select few. Change pop culture to embrace all races and ethnicities!
