[Note: When J. Elliot refers to her being classed as one of ‘your people’ in relation to black people of color, it’s based on her reputation of being an outspoken, anti-racism ally].

- Jane Elliot on the Oprah Winfrey Show panel on racism in 1992.

[odinsblog]

White people get deeply offended hearing black people speak this truth, so maybe hearing Jane Elliot say it will cut through the white fragility: White people’s default setting is racism. Because America’s default setting is racism. That doesn’t mean they cannot unlearn it, but anti-Blackness is so ubiquitous in Western culture that unlearning racism is not something that just magically happens because you think you’re a good person. It’s not something you attain and then forget about. It’s a perishable skill.

Nobody becomes “not racist” by repeatedly declaring “But hey, I’M not racist” on social media. Becoming “not racist” is defined by conscious choice, coupled with actions—like listening to black people, calling out racism, and not saying or doing racist things—that prove you aren’t racist. Being “not racist” is something that needs to be worked on CONSTANTLY.

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

Reblog if you:

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it

[renthebarbarian]

Reblogging this from my iPhone, ironically.

[st-r-trk-fangasm]

Reblogging from my 2011 macbook pro that has threatened to die for years.

[nitrozeusbitches]

Honestly I liked how user friendly iPhones were but I got tired of all the crap they kept pulling with updates and “unrepairable” problems. I moved over to an android when I got my new phone and honestly I havent gotten a single useless update so far. The only problems I’ve had are that the screen scratches really easy which is kinda my own fault for not getting a screen protector, and I no longer have iTunes so I dont really have any music on my phone but that a small price to pay honestly

You’re not reading this by accident. This is your confirmation. You’re going to make it. No matter what it looks like right now. God is going to renew your faithfulness. So hold on, be strong and don’t give up. You are next in line for your miracle.

You see how she explained how race is a social construct (it is) while ALSO SAYING THAT RACISM EXISTS AND IS FUCKED UP? You see how she did that? Don’t mistake this for colorblindness because it clearly isn’t.

Terry Crews came out and admitted he had been sexually assulted by someone in the film industry, and is now being blacklisted. I have been a fan of his since Idiocracy, and will continue to support all of his work.

So when you wonder why people don’t come forward with their assults, this is why.

[commandtower-solring-go-deactiv]

Where are all the bitch men who ask about male sexual assault when the focus is on women but are dead silent when men are actually at the focus.  

[atomic-darth]

It’s almost as if Men’s Rights Activists don’t really care about men’s rights. Hmmm….

🤔

[rafawriter]

Yep….

[motherfickle]

This misses the really powerful piece of the story: Terry Crews was the one who chose not to do the movie. One of the producers told him, essentially, that he could either do the movie and be drop the sexual assault charges, or continue with the trial and have “troubles”. Terry dropped out because he felt standing against abusers was more important than his film career.

It’s bullshit that he was threatened in the first place, of course, but his response was ballsy. I admire him for it.

[rorykurago]

Reblog to support Terry Crews and men like him.

i love terry crews!!

Kim Porter complained of chest pain prior and her doctor didn’t do a thing. Now she is dead.

I really believe they are trying to kill us. This is why we need to keep pushing our brothers and sisters into the medical field and encourage them to stick with it, because they can be the difference between life and death for us.

Search around for black doctors, especially my ladies. I got mine! And I know for sure I’m having a midwife if and when I decide to have a baby.

[afronerdism]

I have personally experienced how doctors ignore symptoms in black women. I have almost potentially died Several times because a doctor ignored symptoms. I can see how it happens. Be safe out here. Be vigilant about your medical care. Demand better

[thelovelybones124-deactivated20]

I didn’t need to see this in my mental state rn but it’s very true. They don’t listen to us. They don’t help us. I wish I could find a god doctor who actually cares, I wish we all could.

[enlighteneddiva07]

We need better black doctors, because I definitely spazzed on a black female doctor for trying to rush my husband when he was trying to explain his chest pains.

[kravemychocolatekurves]

As soon as I read the details of what happened I immediately thought about how the doctor didn’t tell her to go to the E.R or come see her. She was sick for a week or so and expressed to them that she wasn’t feeling any better. How could that not been a warning sign that something terrible wrong was about to happen. You’re a medical professional and ignored the biggest sign.

[e-wifey-deactivated20201128]

people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language

[yellowjuice-deactivated20190512]

saw a variation of this conversation on twitter earlier

[brainstatic]

I just want to state for the record that this is completely uncontroversial among linguists. It’s the first day of sociolinguistics class.

[laineylewxlove]

I majored in Communication Disorders to become an Speech Language Pathologist and am currently and Assisstant. When we were in class we were taught about this as well as other dialect. Under no circumstances do you treat a client for what is considered a dialect. So as a speech therapist when I hear AAVE I move on. It is a real language with real rules.

Thats why it was outrage in the speech community post Katrina when teachers began to recommend students for speech, when it was simply the New Orleans dialect.

[dontwantthenextcommanderiwantyou]

“It is a real language with real rules.”

[whereikeepthefanficstache]

Y’all a random ass blog tried to make me look stupid because I don’t know my dads language👀

And every day I’m still interrupted because of my accent or whatever. Nah man there’s basis in me and even my speech is invalidated

In case you wanna read the article this quote is from: http://rolereboot.org/culture-and-politics/details/2016-05-daughter-know-ok-angry/

[cygnaut]

Adaptable girls find socially acceptable ways to internalize or channel their discomfort and ire, sometimes at great personal cost. Passive aggressive behavior, anxiety, and depression are common effects. Sarcasm, apathy, and meanness have all been linked to suppressed rage. Troublesome behaviors, such as lying, skipping school, bullying other people, even being socially awkward are often signs that a teenager is dealing with anger that they are unable to name as anger.

Girls, taught to ignore their anger, become disassociated from themselves.

Anger is so successfully sublimated that girls lose the ability to understand what it feels and looks like. Is her heart racing? Does she feel flushed or shaky? Does she clench her jaws at night? Is she breaking out in hives? Does she cry for no reason? Laugh inappropriately during difficult conversations? Fly off the handle over something that seems inconsequential? You can see where I’m going here…those crazy girl hormones, right? Better to just think of it as a phase.

For too many women, however, the phase never ends. It’s lives spent never expressing anger at all and believing that they don’t have the right or ability to do so without great risk.

[gimmeur-tots]

Ok this is important. I feel like this all the time.

[daftqunk]

I really feel this. A conversation I had with my psychologist last year after I described what I thought was an anxious reaction to somehow who’d hurt me calling me randomly after over a year. My heart was racing and I was shaking and felt hot all over and was on the verge of tears, and she said. “That sounds like anger. You’re allowed to be angry.” And I became very aware that I had not been able to identify my own anger and even know what it feels like up until that point.

It’s called the foot-in-the-door method. First, you propose something that is slightly outside of allowable norms: denying gay people wedding cakes on grounds of “religious freedom”. Then, you slowly ramp up how extreme your demands are, coercing the other side to giving a tiny bit of ground each time, until you’ve shifted the entire fucking playing field. Conservatives are also very fond of the door-to-face method, which is demanding something completely outlandish that you know will be refused, and then asking for something less ridiculous by way of compromise, again resulting in a gradual shift in norms until views that were once considered moderate or reasonable become unthinkably liberal by destroying people’s sense of standards. The combination of these methods is called the “foot-in-the-face” method, which sums up where this whole thing is headed quite nicely.
