The purpose of religion is to control yourself, not criticise others.

Native Americans have endured years of misrepresentation by the media. Whether in TV, film, print or online, the stories we tell — or refuse to tell — about indigenous peoples have not only enshrined harmful stereotypes, but fueled centuries of land graft, state violence and containment. It’s happening still. Already this summer, there have been multiple stories of government harm to Native land.

You know what Black Man doesn't get enough credit for being excellent?

Lewis Hamilton

The first ever, Black, Formula 1 Driver.

From his wiki:

In his first season in Formula One, Hamilton set numerous records, while finishing second in the 2007 Formula One Championship, just one point behind Kimi Räikkönen. He won the World Championship the following season, becoming the then-youngest Formula One world champion in history before Sebastian Vettel broke the record two years later. Following his second world title in 2014, he was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He is the only driver on the current grid to have won at least one race in each season he has competed to date, with McLaren from 2007 until 2012, and with Mercedes since 2013. He has more race victories than any other British driver in the history of Formula One and is currently 5th on the all-time wins list, with 39 wins.

I know we give Serena, Venus and our Olympians a lot of support, but this man is out there breaking barriers. More credit to him, especially in an elitist racing circuit as F1.

$80 Billion

That’s the expected cost to taxpayers over 10 years from Obama’s proposed free tuition plan, the White House admitted Friday.

[geeksofdoom]

That’s about the cost of 8 months of war in Iraq. Seems like a much better investment of my tax dollars to me.

[tashabilities]

I bolded

[seananmcguire]

It’s amazing how 80 billion isn’t worth mentioning when it’s about killing people, but is suddenly a huge, horrifying barrier when it’s about improving lives.

[chocobroh]

I’d still pay for it this. I’d be the one good thing my taxes would be going towards. Cause it sure ain’t going to infrastructure or schools at this rate »

[linaevelovesyou]

#is this number meant to scare me? #80 billion over ten years #so 8 billion a year #divided by the total number of tax payers in america #in 2013 there were 242 million taxpayers #so going off that number#it would cost the average american taxpayer $33 a year #wow so scary what a horrible way to spend $33

amen. this is, what, dinner and drinks at a mediocre sit-down restaurant for two? I’d spare it.
