please also take a moment to read about amaria diljohn, the fourteen-year-old black girl who was murdered in toronto yesterday when a public city bus driver ran over her and drove off, leaving her on the road. the driver has not been charged. please spread this. please talk about this. i know canadian issues aren’t often widely discussed on tumblr, but it’s important that this becomes widely known so the driver is brought to justice.

amaria’s family has also set up a donation fund to pay for her funeral - details are here.

STOP STRIPPING BLACK CHILDREN OF THEIR CHILDHOOD

A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL IS A CHILD

NOT A WOMAN

NOT A YOUNG ADULT 

SHE IS A CHILD

A GROWN MAN GRABBED A CHILD BY HER HAIR AND SLAMMED HER FACE INTO THE GROUND

THAT IS EXCESSIVE FORCE

THAT IS ABUSE OF POWER

THAT IS CHILD ABUSE

STOP ENABLING OPPRESSORS TO CONTINUOUSLY ABUSE THE OPPRESSED

Within the global economy, Black transatlantic cultural forms such as hip-hop and RnB as well as Jamaican dancehall music, are highly lucrative cultural commodities. Due to its commercialisation, hip hop is now accused of producing hegemonic representations of globalised Blackness. Paul Gilroy describes African American popular music and culture as ‘being reduced to the role of soundtrack to the new imperium’. Here, Gilroy seems to be making a rather sweeping point that cleanly implicates African American music and culture as part of the axis of globalised US imperialism. He too holds African American culture to account for creating a generic US-centred form of Blackness that has become the ‘lingua franca for bored and disenchanted youth everywhere’. As a result Gilroy warns us that ‘many young Black Britons have no idea that their social and economic predicament might differ from the position of African Americans trapped in an environment where rigid segregation remains an unspoken norm’. Gilroy is suggesting that many young Black people in Briton have access to unique and distinctive historical experiences that can not be fully articulated, in any meaningful way, by simply imitating commodified US representations of Blackness.

My rapist:

My rapist was found not responsible of raping me by my school. Even though he told the disciplinary hearing that he heard me say he was hurting me but that wasn’t a clear no to stop. Then the text messages used as evidence stated I had been drinking, so my rapist was aware I was not in the right state of mind to even give consent. Both of those facts prove rape happened. But my school wouldn’t over turn the decision and now I caught wind he might be filing a complaint against me for harassment because I shared the letter I wrote him and my account of what happened on my site Lmbanks.weebly.com . My school is knowingly letting rapists walk around this campus which is potentially unsafe for the rest of the female population.

This is gonna get boosted. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure of it.

[pintobeanx]

Thank you so much. Guys the school I go to is south Alabama and tonight I will be addressing it in a video on my site blog tonight @ Lmbanks.weebly.com

[tcurtar]

Wow what the Fuck

[kingrudegyalchina]

boost

[wallflawerr]

What’s the name of the school? What’s the rapists name? Who is the admin? When did this happen?

[pintobeanx]

His name is in the files I released on my website. The schools name is university of south Alabama. He’s an alpha and his line brother who raped me openly admits to thinking having sex with drunk is just taking advantage of an open opportunity and will tell a girl that if he wants to have sex and she comes over it doesn’t matter if she wants too or not, they will be having sex (he told me that in text message and I still have it )
