Sexual misconduct accusations in Hollywood summed up in one shocking infographic

An ongoing, updated list of all the entertainment industry figures who have been accused of sexual misconduct since the Harvey Weinstein news broke on Oct. 5, 2017.

I hadn’t even heard several of these before now, which sadly means some people’s stories are getting a bit lost in all the noise. It’s important though for us to hear them and to treat each new story with the same care and support for the teller, with the same disgust and disdain for the abuser. It’s too easy to let one story slip through the cracks. And then another. And then another. That’s part of how we ended up here in the first place. For each person who comes forward, there is no letting it slip through the cracks, and opening up about it takes incredible courage. Whether their abusers are Hollywood elite or someone we’ve never heard of, whether they’re the first ones to come forward or the fiftieth, we have to be sure that each and every voice is heard.

•9/11 was coordinated by the Bush administration •The laws written 15 years ago where pushed and backed by the kkk •Black people explored the world before white people where civilized and whitewashed history

[tastelessfashion]

•Christopher Columbus ain’t shit.

*The father of modern gynecology experimented and tortured black women during slavery for his findings. *The government was successfully sued for the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. *The CIA introduced crack/cocaine into inner-cities across the US *The US had been sterilizing many WoC *In the Tuskegee experiments, the US gave STDs and other diseases, including syphilis to unknowing black men. *Japan was already in line to surrender when we bombed Nagasaki and Hiroshima *The US created the Taliban

• Native Americans had to register to become American • Black Panthers once watched over the police to prevent unjust arrests and beatings • Native American children were massively murdered when schools got too full • Black people were in zoos • There were Asian concentration camps during WW2

[thesavingera]

*The World’s largest Great White shark ever recorded in history fed off of slaves thrown over the ships *Gay white plantation owners used to rape the slave men in front of the slave’s wives, children, and friends. They used this method to deter the slaves from revolting or any other unwanted acts. *Plantation owner would make a “deal” with the hardest working male slave to bore 10 children and he will be set free. Creating the stereotype of black men leaving and abandoning their children. *Harriet Tubman’s first husband, a freed man, tried to discourage Harriet’s mission to free as many slaves as she could he threatening to tell her over.

We were taught that about Abe but this is some important info

Male slaves would have their teeth removed - the front two to mark them as slaves if they escaped and the back ones for sale

one of the reasons for landowners to back the revolution was that England had abolished slavery and wanted to bring it across to the colonies - one hundred years before slavery was abolished

the US has been responsible for almost every major conflict of the last one hundred years and interfered in the others almost always for drugs or oil

the great depression was entirely caused by the newly developed aggro farming of the 1920s

the US accidentally sank several ships of Jewish refugees in WW2 including one mostly full of children

•in Africa the white men that were there to “collect” the slaves would give tribes guns. This was in order to have tribes turn against each other so the “weak” tribe members would be sent to America.

•During the Armenian Genocide, families would potentially be spared if the oldest daughter had her face and arms tattooed with blue X’s. These blue X’s signified that the Turkish soldiers could do anything they wanted to her. [I met a woman that this happened to, while she ended up having a husband and children and had some sort of happiness in life. It was hard to look at her. Not because of the X’s but by what happened to her because they were there.]

[gold-epoch]

*Southern black people were convicted of “crimes” (walking by the railroad, looking a certain way) after slavery had been abolished and forced to do hard labor like working in mines for weeks without seeing the sun where they had to drink stagnant water sitting at the bottom of the mines, being whipped and killed if they ran away. A lot of black people were put in jail during the cotton season when men, women, and children were whipped and killed while working in the fields.

*Southern black people were enslaved in this same time period (after slavery was abolished) through imaginary debt that white people claimed that they had and they couldn’t pay it back because the person that they were “indebted” to set all the terms.

*The literally “Constitution” of the Confederacy says that the point of their nation is slavery.  Don’t listen to people who say its about states rights.

*A lot of Republicans switched from being Democrats bc of the integrated military, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts because they didn’t want to vote in the same party as black people. The literal founding of their party is racism.

- Native children were rounded up by white people and put into boarding schools where most of them were brutally beaten and raped repeatedly while also being banned from seeing their parents ever again.

- White men would rape their way into native bloodlines just so they could be “legally entitled” to land, money and livestock that was reserved for natives.

-Native reservations were purposely established in places that were uninhabitable (i.e. poor soil, sparse food & water etc.) This was a way of forcing assimilation.

-Many cultures of PoC recognized more than just 2 genders before white supremacy came in with that basic shit.

-Ghandi also beat his wife

-America has a very long history of wartime sexual violence

Black Women Who Made History That You Probably Never Heard Of, Get Familiar With Them

Each February, we take some time to remember the great minds of Black Americans who made a significant impact through their work.

The success of Black Americans are especially significant because of the high barriers to entry and obstacles in their path as a result of slavery, and discrimination.

While leaders like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. are typically highlighted as major figures during Black History Month, what about the other crucial visionaries that paved the way for American success and freedom?

In the spirit of uncovering Hidden Figures, we put together an extended list of Black women you may have never heard of.

Here are their stories and the history they’ve made.

Source

These are some great, beautiful and strong black women of American culture and history! And during Black History Month we need to celebrate and honor all of them!

Because black women have played and always play a significant role in our life!

Teach your daughters about the influence of black women in our history as they grow up!

I won’t stop reminding you this fact. This is horrible. The way they’re treating these people is horrible. The situation they are in is a nightmare. I just can’t stop thinking about what it feels like to be without water for 3 years. Three years of struggle, fear for your kids and fear that nothing will change. This is extremely frustrating.

Flint’s population is 60% black. Imagine the same thing happening in a predominantly white city. I can’t.

since american news sources have been spreading misinformation through racist and speculative headliners, i want to put it out there that the shooter who killed six people praying at a quebec mosque last night was NOT a moroccan muslim man (the moroccan man was later confirmed as a witness). the shooter was terrorist alexandre bissonnette, a known far-right leaning white nationalist, and this was very clearly an anti-muslim hate crime. please make sure you aren’t spreading lies that will hurt others, and keep the quebecois community in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
