My absolute favorite thing on this site is when people who post nonstop about how people who aren’t white, straight, and cisgender are all whiny babies and then hop they musty asses on a post talking about how “if you don’t treat us whites better, you won’t have any allies”.
You’re an ally? Because your archive full of recent pronoun jokes and “nazism is just an opinion” posts say otherwise.
It’s not a d*mb analogy when it’s essentially the same thing. The argument a person has never been to their homeland and continent therefore they cannot learn and practice such customs in those areas is a fallacy. No one ever makes these arguments about white people who live in America but are quick to say they’re Irish, Italian, Czech, Russian, and other European ethnicities. Everyone knows African-American culture and Nigerian cultures and religions are separate from one another, but they also can and do overlap.
poc solidarity is such a sham. like these people so ugly. they don’t even care about celebrating their heritage they just heated black people are celebrating theirs. talkin bout can we have asian/native/latin history month like those don’t exist, see if you wasn’t spending time being a dickhead you’d know those exist and you’d give a shit about them and be investing energy into celebrating your shit and spreading awareness instead of trying to throw dirt our way. then get found out for just being an overall terrible human being and try to move the goals posts talkin bout can we make those months a big deal, like go ahead, what is stopping you? like for some reason other minorities really think black people gotta carry the burden for everybody. nah. fuck outta my face.

Omg that rhino trying to frolic and bound like a creature 1/3 its size. It is so beautiful and innocent. You’re a lamb, you’re a gazelle, you’re a graceful butterfly little rhino.
Pay attention to the inherent, instinctual reaction to play victim when caught being criminal, shady or otherwise wrong. White people will use this tactic to the death and have always found themselves humanized by this tactic and society at large.
Born in Guangzhou, China, Bow-sim Mark started seriously training in Wushu during high school, specializing in Tai Chi and Northern Shaolin. At the time, women who studied martial arts were almost unheard of. However, her talents caught the attention of the Great Grandmaster Fu Wing Way, one of the most decorated martial artists in China and founder of Fu Style Tai Chi. He ended up taking her in as his private student.
In 1984, Mark won a gold medal at the first International Tournament of T’ai chi ch’uan in Wuhan City. In 1995, she was named Black Belt magazine’s Kung-Fu artist of the year. Before Mark immigrated to the U.S., she was already famous all over China not just because she was a talented female martial artist, but because she was also better than most men in her craft.
“Everything is harder for a woman,” Mark told NextShark with some help in translating from her daughter Chris Yen. “If a man has to work at 100% to excel, a woman must work at 150%! Not just in martial arts but in any field in order to be taken seriously.”

After teaching at her master’s school for 10 years, she emigrated to Boston, Massachusetts in 1975 where she became one of the first people to introduce Wushu to the West.
“There were only a few Chinese kung-fu schools in Chinatown and mostly karate schools around the suburbs,” Mark said. “My school was the first Chinese ‘Wushu’ school and at the time, Wushu was not known yet in the West.”
As a successful martial arts master who’s had students open up schools themselves, Sifu Mark broke down what makes a good teacher. She notes that while there are many styles of Tai Chi, all tai chi can be judged by six characteristics and six requirements:
“The characteristics are that the movement should be circular, relaxed, calm, continuous, and done with intent and energy. The requirements are that the spine is naturally straight, the shoulders and elbows are sunk, the chest is empty, the movement originates in the waist, the pelvis is at a natural angle, and yin and yang are clear.”
I saw a black man on social media say white women have never enslaved black ppl. I hope he's kidding or we've done a poor job teaching black history for years. Or I think bm purposely ignore ww's hand in racism and white supremacy.
