Good article with a headline intentionally misrepresenting the point maliciously.

I remember some YouTuber tweeting like “TV shows are too political these days old shows like Fresh Prince didn’t have all this sjw bullshit” and like the first episode will and uncle phil talk very sternly about malcom x

[mirukaiam]

If anything, sitcom shows even from Disney esp if they're black were bold in your face political about societal issues

[dont-at-m3]

ima just leave these here

[kujoestars]

Frankly popular media has always been political since the dawn of civilization when telling stories became a thing.

[maid-of-timey-wimey]

If you think “media used to be unpolitical”, at least one of two things is happening:

1. You weren’t paying attention

Or 2. What was “political” then is now “common sense.”

[tachyon-at-rest]

Or 3. You are white enough that you have no struggles and can’t acknowledge the struggles of others. 

[akria23]

The humor is black humor in its form. It’s completely built off our relation to racism. This was common sense to us. Every joke takes into account the history and our continued everyday struggle. The cop brutality is a prime example. He says nah I’m not putting my hands down he has a gun and next thing I know I can end up with 6 ‘warning’ shots in my back - If anyone remembers Mike Brown was an unarmed black man that was shot 6 times by a police officer and ended up dying which then ignited a new form of police brutality (it happens every couple of decades where there’s a undeniable incident and other people cannot shit there eyes to our reality and then it goes by into denial state until the next big act happens) now mind you, the fresh prince ended many years before this case so they’re not referencing Brown himself but it just stands to speak on how relative it is.

For some reason people tend to think police brutality was someone new complaint we just created (literately had people go that arguement with me) when it’s been a reality for blacks all along.

The fresh prince was literally created to speak on these topics…The character Will was used to inform and speak on these topics and his cousin who hadn’t been as exposed to the realities of black struggle because of money was used as a sound wall for the audience. They used the concept of these two different young men to speak on both the subtle and the overt. Just like the younger female cousin was made young so she could grow into her womanhood and they can speak on those topics that women are most constricted over (sex, body control / image, respect, etc).

But that’s a lot shows from the 90’s - they weren’t there just to entertain but to also enlighten you. I def would say shows in the now are less up on actually speaking on important things. They promote that they are but….🤐

Stop telling girls they have to be super heroes and not princesses. Stop telling girls that wanting to be a mother or a homemaker isn’t a real job. Stop telling girls that makeup isn’t art. Stop making fun of girls who like being in a relationship and looking for love.  STOP telling girls that femininity is bad. I thought being a feminist and being a woman’s rights activist was about giving women the freedom to choose. Stop the internalized misogyny. 

[badass-bharat-deafmuslim-artista]

there is nothing wrong with liking pink, glamour, bling, or diamonds. there is nothing wrong with having long hair or wearing frilly cute dresses. there is nothing wrong with wearing high heels or short skirts. there is nothing wrong with giggling and blushing. be who you are, be what you want to be, wear whatever the fuck you want, and don’t worry what anyone else think of you! and they can go eff themselves if they make fun of you or look down at you for being ultra girly. 

[rimshaisnothere]

Well it's not about whether women can like these things. In society these things aren't really frowned up tbh. Men would much rather prefer women being girly than what women can do. I think let's stop limiting women in anyway shape or form. However let's acknowledge in society liking make-up being girly and wearing revealing clothes is very much pushed upon women to the point that women obsess over being seen feminine

CHINA IS TAKING OVER AFRICA 🗣🗣🗣

[shante-erika]

How so

[thelovergirljasmine]

China is legally, financially colonizing the entire continent by taking over Africa’s infrastructure.

[sailorguardianwannabe]

They’ve have done so by making loans to African countries that they KNOW won’t be able to pay them back. Once the country defaults China exacts repayment by taking over an aspect of their infrastructure. They took an airport and an electric grid in Tanzania and a port in Kenya

[thelovergirljasmine]

Yes! Thanks Queen 🤗

[nyaakos]

China "gifted" the African Union a headquarters building and then allegedly had it bugged

The alleged data theft might put a strain on the relationship between China and African countries

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.

Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.

I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.

When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.

So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

poor people deserve things they want, too. it is unfair to expect poor people to only buy things they “need”.

My grandfather used to tell me: if you only have 20 kr left, you buy grocery for 10 kr and flowers for the other 10 kr because you need a reason to live as well.

anyway animal rights activism will be inherently disingenuous and indeed actively harmful unless y’all recognize that 1) not every country has industrialized the consumption of meat to the extent that the west has 2) you absolutely need to prioritize human beings over animals given that basic humanity isn’t even afforded to a large fucking portion of the human population 3) your experiences are not universal and humans have been living off the land sustainably for literal millenia 4) capitalism is your enemy not poor people & people of color 5) stop fucking making slavery/holocaust anaologies. those are actual human beings. thanks

If you guys didn’t see some white girl posted a montage of her colonizer experience in Hawai'i and has been getting dragged for days now lmao I’m not gonna link it cause it’s just her and some other haole girls she met her literally dancing on graves and sacred places and showing off her dirty hair.

But I did a little thread on why these romanticized ads of our home harms us (not super in depth but touches on some important points). And I was a lot nicer about it cause I actually do care if you come to visit and I’d actually prefer that everyone leave us alone forever but colonizers gonna colonize and settlers gonna settle 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Images: a tweet from user @WatkinsLondon that says: “This year I packed up my life into a tiny suitcase and moved to a little rock in the middle of the ocean. I fell in love with Hawaii, I fell in love with these people. But above all, I fell in love with being alive”.

This tweet is followed by a tweet thread from user @angelcurlsss that says:

“That stupid video of that haole girl who moved here for 4 months is just showing how fucking ignorant the general population is about Hawai'i and what has happened/is happening to Native Hawaiians.

1. HAWAI'I IS AN ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED SOVEREIGN NATION.

2. Native Hawaiians (Kānaka Maoli) used to make up 100% of the population. It’s estimated we make up about 20% of the state’s population now.

3. Hawai'i was once the most literate nation in the WORLD, about 91-95% of the kingdom by 1834.

4. ‘Olelo Hawai'i (native Hawaiian language) was illegal to teach in schools until 1978, but didn’t get taught again in schools until 1987. People don’t understand how recently they had their colonial policies forced on us. 1978… my mom was born in 1973. She could’ve been beat just for speaking her native tongue on her native land.

5. Despite making up less than a quarter of the state’s population, native Hawaiians make up about 60% of the prison population (mostly nonviolent crimes).

6. Native Hawaiians also make up most of the homeless population. Hawai'i has the largest population of homeless people per capita in the U.S.

7. As of 2018, the average price for a single family home in Hawai'i is $795K. There are no regulations for foreigners owning land.

Including (but not limited to) these facts and statistics, native Hawaiians are one of the most disenfranchised communities in Hawai'i. Our own ‘āina. When people treat our home as a playground for their own selfish needs, they change everything here except the price of living. Native Hawaiians and locals are leaving Hawai'i by the dozens. They recently estimated it to be 11 locals leaving PER DAY.

I don’t care if you want to come visit. Our home is beautiful and I don’t blame people for wanting to see it. But I do care when you poison our land, romanticize our lifestyle, fetishize our people, and cheapen our culture. Unless you’re coming to pour money into our communities and work for our betterment and sovereignty (I know you’re not) you bring nothing of value to Hawaiians. Please come and enjoy, but don’t forget when it’s time to leave.”

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.

Repeated Rapist and Former Baylor frat president Jacob Anderson indicted for sexual assault will serve no jail time, not be registered as sex offender and only has to pay $400 fine

Anderson was accused of raping a 19-year-old woman at a 2016 off-campus party his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, threw under his leadership as frat president. During the party, 

Anderson took the woman, who was intoxicated after receiving a drugged drink from him, outside to a “secluded part of the grounds” where he then sexually assaulted as while she was gagged and choked. The victim lost consciousness during the attack, at which point Anderson left the scene, leaving her nearly choking to death on her own vomit.

Anderson was initially brought up on for these alleged crimes, and charged him with “unlawful restraint” instead, for which the office recommended three years of probation, a $400 fine, and counseling.

This is the 3rd case in which this same judge has been lenient towards sexual offenders.
