Sorry guys, I liked and reblogged something before knowing the mesh was from Salem. I scurved my ass out of there.

I guess they are back. It’s all good but I stand by my principals, never downloading anything from there again.

Why Can't My Family STFU and Listen?

I posted my support for Black Lives Matter on Facebook. Within 5 minutes, my Trump supporting aunt posts "All lives matter" to my post. Funny, that, since last I checked, people of color, Muslims, women, lgbtq people, and the disabled's lives didn't matter to Trump at all. Within an hour, my friends post MLK quotes like it's going out of fashion. Funny, that, since your 'alm' mess is the direct erasure of the narratives of Black people. Not to mention the whole tone policing thing that those quotes do serves solely one purpose. All of those posts do one thing; they say, "Well, if you were more docile, these things wouldn't happen." Funny, that, considering that Philando Castile did exactly what you're supposed to do and he was shot point-blank by the police in front of his girlfriend and his young daughter. Want to tell me again that MLK quote you hadn't heard until you saw it with his picture yesterday? Want to tell me again that "alm" when Black lives have been spilt for centuries to benefit whiteness? Europeans were too lazy to do their own work, so they exploited others who they saw as "other" to do it for them. None of this is 'new;' none of it is a product of the so-called 'race-baiting' that you pretend happens. When you see it this way, what you've done is exactly what the US has done since it's inception: created enemies. Why do you think we have the phrase "enemies, real or imagined?" It's because most of our enemies are a product of the imagination or of difference in religion, color, or political and economic philosophy. The police have done the same thing here; the media follows them in it; right-wing conservatives bask in it; left-wing liberals try to say they don't benefit from it (but they do--even I do--even the most Progressive white does). So, before you come at me one more time with and 'alm' post or an 'alm' comment, how about you listen a bit, read a bit of first-person narrative about racist encounters and the prison industrial complex and the school to prison pipeline, study a bit about white privilege and systemic racism, encounter true statistics about crime in the US, not manufactured ones for a tweet, and most of all, listen to Black people and their experience above all things. You don't get to choose whether a Black person is oppressed or not. You don't get to choose that. So, please, STFU and listen!! #BlackLivesMatter

I can't believe I'm saying this but there is actually one song where the voice for an UTAU fit's perfectly.

in which I rant in a paper for communications tomorrow

"Beyond religious beliefs, I believe strongly in common decency to people and being polite and respectful to everyone, whether it’s via my online interactions with friends there or people I come across in the physical world, something impressed in me mainly by my mom.. I also have very definite ideas on important issues in the world today, and one of my convictions is that NO ONE SHOULD BE LABELED AS A “RACE” SINCE RACE IS A TERM THAT CONFERS NO RESPECT ON ANY PERSON AND SORRY FOR THE SHOUTING BUT I JUST BELIEVE REALLY STRONGLY IN THIS and so you will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever hear me refer to any person whose skin is darker or is from another country as being part of that “race” I always refer to such people as “people groups” since it confers on everyone much more respect and gives them the right to be PEOPLE, which the word “race” does not deign to give. Sorry for being a bit volatile here, it’s just that this is one of my convictions that I believe so very very strongly about and this comes from my own decisions since I studied people from various countries such as Arabia and Mongolia and came to see through their eyes and I love them for it. And that’s how all people should be seen, through their own eyes."
