Selena Gomez saying that “hashtags don’t save lives” about blm but then going all out for march for our lives and saying “ it’s not just a hashtag” says a lot about her character lmao. It’s very clear that these non black celebs only show out for certain people and movements. She’s rightfully being dragged on social media rn and turned off her comments because she knows she’s a hypocrite. Her captions are all like “ I don’t want this to be just an IG post anymore. PLEASE. ENOUGH. These people, families and CHILDREN suffered enough”. Bitch so did many black people. You think their families and friends aren’t suffering because they were unjustly killed? Fuck this fake ass, performative activism bullshit.

why are you guys fucking allergic to discussing male victims of sexual harassment and assault without tacking on some ignorant comment about how “if the victim was a woman it would be taken seriously” because FUCKING NEWSFLASH!!!! IT WOULDN’T!!!!! and the fact that victims are now going public after DECADES of abuse were covered up should prove that!!!!!

When Asian American men appeal for inclusion into white manhood, they also enact the same kinds of violent and misogynist tendencies that white men have been socialized to enact. White masculinity is a set of behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes based on the idea that one is inherently entitled to or deserving of things—including and especially women’s bodies. What, then, does it mean for Asian American men to complain about being “emasculated,” when the very notion of American masculinity itself is so steeped in violence against women’s bodies?

Thus, when Asian American men are given public platforms from which to speak on racial issues, they have often failed to include Asian American women in their general discussions of racism. Although numerous examples could be drawn here, one could point to online platforms such as Love Life of an Asian Guy, or Angry Asian Man, both of which have mounted remarkable forms of misogyny against Asian American and Black women despite their professed “feminist” and “anti-racist” positions.

On TV personality Eddie Huang, Mark Tseng-Putterman has noted that “in working to counter their racial emasculation, some Asian American men may seek to reaffirm their own masculinity in problematic ways – namely, by conflating masculinity with misogyny, and practicing “manhood” through the objectification, violation, and conquest of women.” He continues: “the popularity of pickup artist/dating coaches amongst Asian American men and the unfortunate tendency for some Asian American men to shame Asian American women who choose to date non-Asian partners…are examples of how attempts to counter Asian emasculation can become oppressive forces themselves.”

Listen this is why gerrymandering is such a massive, massive problem down here in the south.

Texas has been slowly becoming a Latinx majority state for decades. You wouldn’t know it by the way Texas votes because gerrymandering exists. Rich southern conservatives always win the votes because of this. (Lack of decent education doesn’t help.)

Worst of all, they try to teach us in school that the federal government bullies the state by making the state submit its redistricting plans for approval before redistricting can take place.

In reality, it’s because the gerrymandering would get even worse if the state was allowed to do as it pleased.

whateverthepoodle-deactivated20

Gerrymandering and voter suppression are why the south looks the way it does in elections. The south is poor and more diverse than a significant part of the rest of the country, and all of the marginalized people get thrown under the bus by the whole country and by both parties.

So yeah when you wish bad things on the south, you’re being pretty indescribably shitty because let me tell you, the south already has “bad things” happen in significant amounts.

Look at those colors! I’ve been to Mexico, but I only went to the touristy part of the Yucatan where I stayed at an all inclusive where I could get any kind of food but Mexican.

Needless to say, I’d like to go back some day…

When people tell stories about how their parents beat them, it’s always interesting to see their face change because they expected me to say “me too lol” but I instead say “I’m really sorry. You didn’t deserve that” Last time a co worker who also has West Indian parents was telling me in a joking way how he remembers being beaten with a belt because lied about his report card. As he was laughing it off and saying he deserved it, I just said “wow that’s awful hun. You didn’t deserve that.” And his whole face changed. Like it hadn’t occurred to him that it’s messed up that a part of remembering his childhood is remembering how badly it hurt to be beaten so badly at such a young age. Another time I had a friend, non West Indian parents, who talked about how she made a mess on a dress that her parents got her. It was really expensive apparently and she spilled red juice on it. She talked about how she was ordered to take the dress of and was beaten with a belt too without any clothes on. And she was laughing and said “I was a bad ass kid lol” and I said “no hun you were just a kid”. And she looked at me and immediately stopped laughing and just sat there like “yea…I was just a kid. I don’t know why they did that to me” My mom was raised in a household where she was beaten so badly….I just don’t understand how she is so loving now growing up in a home where she got so little love. They called it discipline, but once she became a social worker she began to see that it was abuse. That she grew up terrified of her parents, although they thought it was respect that my mom felt. It was fear. We have to get comfortable challenging what is often seen as cultural norms. We have to be a generation of people who are not ashamed to say “I would never beat my child”.

STATEMENT REGARDING YOM KIPPUR

The March for Racial Justice is committed to standing for racial justice with allies from across all races, ethnicities, and communities. We believe that none of us are free until all of us are free.

The March came into being as a reaction to the June 16 verdict rendered in the case against the policeman who shot and killed Philando Castile. The unbearable murders of innocent Americans continue unabated and the time is now upon all Americans who seek equality and racial justice to stand up and say NOT ONE MORE. The moment calls for urgent action, as so many of us carry fear with us every single day, as we see black and brown people being shot down with impunity by police and white supremacists inciting terror in our cities.

To that end, it was and is important to us that the march be held on a day that has symbolic and historic significance to the black community. The first date proposed was September 9th which is the date of the Stono Rebellion, the largest rebellion of enslaved people in the US. The National Park Service informed us that the National Mall in DC was not available for 9/9 but was for 9/30. This day has resonance because it is the anniversary of the Elaine Massacre of 1919 in Elaine, Arkansas, during which more than 200 Black men and women were killed in cold blood by a mob of white citizens and law enforcement. Many of the Black victims had recently returned from World War I where they fought for our country. They died standing up for their rights and the rights of their communities. They were murdered in what was the largest state-sanctioned massacre of black people in US history.

The organizers of the March for Racial Justice did not realize that September 30 was Yom Kippur when we were factoring in these and other considerations and applying for permits.

Choosing this date, we now know, was a grave and hurtful oversight on our part. It was unintentional and we are sorry for this pain as well as for the time it has taken for us to respond. Our mistake highlights the need for our communities to form stronger relationships.

After the horrifying events of the past weekend in Charlottesville, and the remarks by the President suggesting that “both sides” are to blame, we understand more than ever the need for unity against those who hate us in our many identities. We have learned from our Jewish friends that Yom Kippur is a day of making amends and of asking and receiving forgiveness. We hope that our sincere apology will be received with compassion, and that we will build a stronger relationship among all our communities as a result.

While we continue to move forward with plans for the main march in Washington, DC on the anniversary of the Elaine massacre, we are working on ways to include the Jewish community on Saturday 9/30 after sundown and/or on Sunday 10/1.

We will be seeking a permit for the sister march in New York City for the afternoon of Sunday, October 1 and will share that information as quickly as we can. Many other sister marches are now being planned for Sunday, October 1 as well and we will keep everyone informed as those additional marches and rallies as they develop.

Our goal is and has always been to bring those committed to racial justice together and we are doing all we can to honor that important goal. We will continue to seek the thoughts and advice of religious and community leaders as this movement grows, and we will face those moments where fellow citizens register their concerns honestly and realistically. As we share a big world with many people, all with their own rights to their freedoms of speech, expression and religion, we will always do our utmost to consider all points of view.

We are marching in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters who are observing the holiest of days on the Jewish calendar. Holding fast to Jewish tradition is also an act of resistance, in the face of growing anti-Semitism. We recognize and lift up the intersection of anti-Semitism and racism perpetrated by white supremacists, whether they wave Confederate flags, don swastikas, beat and kill people on the streets in Charlottesville, deface Holocaust memorials, or threaten and harass members of our communities and our religious and community spaces. And we recognize the need for all of us to work together in the face of an administration that condones widespread oppression of all those most vulnerable among us.

This is a long-term struggle and our relationship to each other transcends one day and one march. As we learn from this planning mis-step, we are working with Jewish leaders to make racial justice resources and prayers available for Yom Kippur observances in Jewish communities as well. We hope that on that holy day, Jews in synagogues across our country will pray for racial justice - lifting up black and brown people, Jewish and non-Jewish - in hope for safety and wholeness. Spiritual sustenance is an essential part of this work for justice. We’re committed to working together with the Jewish community throughout the year and every year until true justice for all of us is won.

The March for Racial Justice August 15, 2017

I can’t speak for @eshusplayground and other Jews of Color who were upset about the scheduling choices, but I consider this to be a step, or several steps, in the right direction. In addition to making “racial justice resources and prayers available for Yom Kippur observances in Jewish communities,” I think it could be beneficial to make materials addressing antisemitism, particularly as an intersection of racism and white supremacy, available at the D.C. March.

This is good, but I dont like the framing of the commemoration of a mass lynching that happened in 1919 as antisemitism because Yom Kippur fell on the 30th in 2017…I think there needs a discussion on antiblackness in a lot of spaces because this should never have been framed as an intentional attack on another community and speaks to people’s tendency to devalue the loss of black life and frame black people as always having an ulterior motive. Black Jews were right to be concerned, non black people were not. The fact that people immediately went the hostile route, compared us to Nazis, and didn’t bother to research the date and show it the reverence it deserves will forever leave a bad taste in my mouth. People forget that white terrorism has always made victims of black people and a lot of people have not learned our history, so they think these dates show up out of nowhere. People really need to do better.

sorry, may i ask why you think it's a weird poll :/?

As a Chinese/White girl who is white passing in some instances like Chloe, I think it's really weird to "poll" people on whether or not they could tell she is Chinese. I feel like it reduces us to looking a certain way/or passing some test, and plays into that weird game where people like to guess "what we are". Basically, it doesn't really matter if people can tell because she is Chinese and white no matter what anyone thinks and she has made that very clear.

"this is kinda a weird “poll” :/" lol wut why

not gonna respond to an anon that starts off with "lol wut"

This is important.

fandomshatepeopleofcolor

can i run a poll? how many people could tell, just based on appearance, that chloe bennet was of east asian heritage? and how many people assumed she was monoracially of an east asian race, not mixed with white or anything else (even though she is)? reblog and tag (or just reply with your race and your answer), here i'll start: as an east asian i could tell right away she was also east asian and didn't even see any whiteness in her despite being mixed.

Ok I’ll go next. I could totally tell she was not white and I’m mixed latinx.

Romani have been brought as slaves over to America by Columbus (x), we have been put through 500 years of slavery in Romania (x), we have been shipped over as slaves to work in the colonies during the American slavery (x), we have been put through a genocide in WWI by the Turkish and a second genocide, a holocaust, in WWII where 1,5 - 2 million of us have been killed by the Nazis which was close to 80/90% of Europe’s entire Romani population (x, x, x)

We are still segregated in housing and education. Get our property demolished and have to fear eviction. Can’t get jobs because of anti Romani prejudice. Can’t get proper health care and Roma women have to fear forced sterilizations. (x, x, x, x, x) Some of the ghettos we are forced to live in are literally so grim that they are being locked away behind a wall (x, x) and people are trying to make money and organize “Romani Safaris” and turn those ghettos into human zoos. (x, x) European politicians want to put us through a Genocide (x), and want to forbid us from refer to ourselves under our real name, Romani, because it is too close to the name of an European nationality- making our language illegal. (x) There is an immigration ban on us in Canada (x), and America treats us like fictional beings while dehumanizing and fetishizing us in the same breath. Latest of that being Fox News racist segment. (x, x)

But none of this is known.

Non Romani know that we are the people behind the slur “Gypsy”, but a lot of them don’t know what our real name is unless it’s explained to them, nor do a lot of them know that Gypsy is a slur. The other things non-Romani think they know about us - that we “don’t send our kids to school”, “don’t want to work”, that we “are witches/devil worshippers”, that we “steal and beg for a living” - is nothing but racist assumptions and stereotypes as well as left over Nazi propaganda. Yet that seems to be what asserts itself in the minds of non Romanis when they think about our people.

How much longer. How much longer until our culture will finally stop being overshadowed and misinterpreted by stereotypes and we finally get to be treated as equal.

American propaganda works so well that we still have people out here thinking it was totally fine and justified that the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japanese civilians, killing well over 100,000 innocent people. It works so well that, even though the United States is the only country to ever use a nuclear bomb in warfare, people think that the United States is still the only qualified entity to invade other countries in order to stop them from having nuclear weapons. It works so well that you can read all about every war crime committed by the United States all around the world, with little to no government censorship, and that STILL doesn’t make people rise up in anger. It works so well that you can read accounts of the CIA or FBI literally trying to brainwash Americans into total subservience and people STILL won’t resist.

Americans put the Soviets to shame in how effective their propaganda is. It’s not even close.

Choosing to end a war and therefore ensuring fewer casualties isn’t basic morality lol.

kropotkhristian-deactivated2019

The idea that the atomic bombs were necessary to end the war and that they ultimately somehow saved lives is American propaganda. It’s not historically accurate. It was made up out of thin air by the United States to justify their actions. The Japanese had offered to surrender after Germany surrendered, prior to the bombs being dropped (although not unconditionally). They would have surrendered unconditionally after the Soviets invaded Manchuria whether or not the bombs were dropped. You’re literally parroting American propaganda as if it is historical fact on my post about how effective American propaganda is. Thanks for proving my point.

neutrino-supremo

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were major civilian cities.

The US had intelligence on the positions of major Japanese military and guerrilla fighters. Although Hiroshima housed a considerable number of soldiers, neither city was considered significant. The whole point of dropping the bombs was to ensure fewer Allied casualties - by inflicting a death toll so horrifyingly destructive that Japan would have no choice but to back off, or risk the continued mass genocide of civilian workers, women and children.

As said above, the Japanese had tried to negotiate terms of peaceful surrender through the Soviet Union in June/July of ‘45. Though the sincerity/commitment of the Japanese cabinet was questioned by some, America fully expected Japan to issue a surrender by November. Without the use of further force.

The bombs were a warning to the Soviets, passed off as a poorly justified method of ‘assurance’. The drop was designed to assert America’s dominance - the final blow to a staked sign reading “I’m in charge, you answer to me”. That’s why they went atomic - it was a new power, untapped by any other nations and determined to be the most destructive force available. Not only in terms of firepower, but in the scar it left on survivors.

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki wasn’t to stop the war - it was to ensure that Allied Forces, America specifically, came out of it on top.

IT’S ABOUT TIME…… #JusticeForBianca

yourshipsaregross-blog

Plaster his ugly mug everywhere so you know what he did

weavemama

And if anyone isn’t caught up with what happened, he shot Bianca in the middle of a highway because their cars were too close to each other and he didn’t wanna merge into another lane. That’s it. Her life was worth some stupid car altercation. He didn’t even bother rolling down the window to talk out the situation, it all happened so fast. She was driving back from freshman college shopping. She had a bright future ahead of her and it was all taken away by some enraged embarrassment to the world. I hope the courts make the right decision when it some to his punishment, he deserves life in prison.
