Black-Owned Metaphysical & Spiritual Supply Store Directory 🕯🌿💎💸✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
One of my New Year’s resolutions is to buy all of my magick supplies - candles, herbs, crystals, etc. - from Black-owned businesses this year but I couldn’t find a comprehensive list anywhere.
So, I’m starting a list of online stores, so I’ll know where to go.
Bystander intervention is seen as one of the most powerful tools in preventing on-campus sexual assaults—but a new study shows that white students feel "less personal responsibility" to help their black peers.
You’re at a house party off-campus—perhaps you’re coming out of the bathroom after finally breaking the seal or you’re walking out of the kitchen, drink in hand—and you notice a black woman who looks much more wasted than you do, being led into a bedroom by a relatively sober guy. Being the good feminist you are, you register that the situation looks suspect. What do you do?
According to a new study, white women aren’t likely to intervene and help. The study, published in The Psychology Of Women Quarterly, posed a similar scenario to 160 white female undergraduates. The students were randomly assigned whether the intoxicated woman in the story had a “distinctively black name"—LaToya—or an ambiguous name—Laura, as a control.
When asked to report on their intent to intervene and how they viewed the situation and the potential victim, the white undergrads said they would be less likely to help when they perceived the woman who was at risk of being sexually assaulted was black, because they felt “less personal responsibility.” Secondarily, they also “perceived that [the black victim] experienced more pleasure in the pre-assault situation” at a slightly higher rate than the control group. (The control group given the scenario with the non-racialized name uniformly perceived the victim to be white.)
“We found that although white students correctly perceived that black women were at risk in a pre-assault situation, they tended not to feel as personally involved in the situation,” the researchers at SUNY Geneseo, Jennifer Katz and Christine Merrilees, said in an interview with PsyPost. In other words, “despite their shared status as women, white female bystanders in the current study may have felt that a Black woman’s plight was not as personally relevant because race has a more powerful effect than gender on intent to intervene and feelings of responsibility to intervene,” they write in the study.
Previous research has found that white people, in general, are less likely to help black victims. A 2008 study on racial bias in helping behavior troublingly found that “as [a situation’s] level of emergency increased, the speed and quality of help white participants offered to black victims relative to white victims decreased.” When the victim was black, the white participants also viewed the situation as less severe.
Not to be atheist on main but the entitlement of some Christian missionaries in this day and age is astounding. After all the international trauma and destruction they’ve caused spreading their mind poison to various groups of people throughout history, namely my own African American ancestors via slavery and the indigenous Americans, they’re STILL seeking people out to continue the cycle like the year is 1818 instead of 2018. Here’s to hoping they get an arrow to the jugular from now on if they keep trying it and that’s that on that. 🍻
In Mormonism it’s basically required you go on a mission and it’s weird if you don’t please don’t hurt them they’re not trying to enslave people and sometimes they barely even understand what they’re doing. There’s lots of stories abt missionaries going out with no faith in their own religion.
Just shut your door on them if you don’t want what they have.
How about yall tell those brain rotted zealots to stop proselytizing people they think they can exploit instead of telling the rest of humanity to turn the other cheek. Ignorance or a lack of understanding is no excuse (which is a lie, they know what they’re doing) for their continued manipulation. They can go on a mission on THESE NUTS.
