INCREDIBLY CONCERNING SPIKE IN ANTI-BLACKNESS IS HAPPENING RN.

Some of yall may have heard some of the shit that has been going on right now. I'm gonna give a quick run down of some of the stuff that has been happening. Note, this is not all, and it may never be all as much as I will try to update this.

(I am going to try and compile and briefly explain these as much as I can. There may be misinformation. Please inform me if I got something wrong.)

(This will also be updated with additional information and new topics added.)

1) Racist Chinese Dolls.

There are these dolls in China that are being called "Natasha" baby dolls. These dolls are not only very obvious caricatures of black people, but they are being advertised as a "stress relief" in which the people who buy these abuse it in various ways.

This links to a video of a compilation of the various "uses" of the doll. There are more in the replies of the tweet. (Another link to the same tweet just incase)

2) The Mocking, Abuse, and Dehumanization of Black Children.

Apart from the aforementioned doll, there are apparently people going around mocking, abusing, and dehumanizing black children.

Some people have compared black children to the doll.

Others have been going into African countries and have found ways to mock, abuse, and dehumanize black children for clout.

(Source 1 + Full Video) (Source 2)

There are more videos surfacing.

3) Black people are going missing.

Black people, especially children and teens have recently been going missing at an alarming rate. Some of these same people are turning up dead, deaths being ruled as "suicides."

While it generally unknown why many of these people are going missing, many suspect that their disappearances, deaths, and even lack of coverage is rooted in anti-blackness.

The following is a list of black people that have been reported missing as of recently. Please note that this is not a complete list (it may never be completed due to the fact that many of these disappearances will still occur as time passes) this may contain inaccurate information. Please inform me if that is the case.

By the time you see this, some of these people may have already been found either alive or deceased. This post will be updated overtime.

It is also heavily encouraged that you reblog this with more links to recent cases of missing black people if you are aware of any that aren’t included on this list.

You should be outraged for Murry Foust. He was missing for 28 days, almost a month. And he wasn't found by the police, or a police organized search party. No. No, he was found by an independently led group.

And of course, the police are claiming "no foul play" in Murry's death.

We need to be angrier.

Hey yall I just wanted to come on here and bring some attention to what’s happening at the detention center (really a concentration camp) Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. There is a hunger strike going on right now to protest the abhorrent conditions within the camp (allegations of torture, maggots and other bugs in the food, etc) and protests happening outside the camp. ICE is not allowing any politicians to come in (as is their right) to see the conditions of the camp. I would urge yall to do your own research, but if you want videos of some people who are actually there, here are some tik tok accounts you can go follow: @ bethanyquilter/ @ whoiskingtrivv/ @ Status Coup News/ @ L.A. TACO

And here is a video explaining what’s going on in more detail than I provided.

With everything else going on in the world, it can be hard to keep up with stuff going on at home, but ICE is still out here terrorizing innocent people. We must keep our eyes on them, and keep fighting.

Feel free to add more sources or info to this post, should you have any.

Edit: a vid about ICE denying politicians entry, and the lies they’ve told.

Happy pride months everyone!

I want to take a moment to remember that pride started as a protest, I know it gets redundant but it is true. Gay men fought for the very little we have, lesbian did too, trans people fem and masc, people with contradictory label ( as far as I'm aware), non gender conforming people, people with nothing, sex workers, they fought against hatred, governements and the police for the very own right being taken from us all around the world. By all means celebrate but remember to fight for our community, every single part of them. The disabled, physically and mentally, the people who have to result to sw to live, those who have been injustly convicted of crimes for their identity, POC people because we would be NOTHING without the black women and men who fought at stonewall and at the previous protest that culminated to it. This pride, like many, I do not feel the joy I should feel because I see everyone's right being stripped away from their own right, the USA, UK, EU, India, Ghana recently and many others have become increasingly more and more conservative and it will continue on. Don't go to pride that hosts cops or political parties, be aware of the petition around you, donate to go funds me if you can, don't let people use the oppression we suffer as a way to make you hate on population being genocided. We have been here since the beginning of humanity and if we have to keep on fighting to have the right to exist then we must do that.

Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.

[theconcealedweapon]

When a son is violent toward his mother, I refuse to see it as "violence against a woman by a man". The power dynamics are massively different.

When a man is violent toward women, he's usually taking out his trauma on someone who played no part in causing it and who is just a convenient scapegoat. He's the one with power, and he's violent because he knows he can get away with it. But when a son is violent toward his mother, it's much more likely that he's taking out his trauma on the source of it. He knows that the vast majority of people will side with his mother. He knows that it's not something he's allowed to do. He does it because it was considered okay when it was done to him and he's had enough.

Whenever a parent is violent toward a child, society considers it justified if the child did so much as talk back. And I refuse to hold children to higher standards than their parents. So when a child is violent toward their parents, I'm going to give the child the same free pass that parents get.

When parents are abusive, eventually children will fight back. And since they're regularly reminded that they have zero proper channels to fight back, I fully support their use of improper channels.

If you're so sure that violence is wrong, start with the violence parents inflict on their children. That happens regularly and parents openly brag about it. Until that stops, I refuse to give a single fuck about violence inflicted on parents by their children.

Parents are angry because children are starting to fight back against abusive parents instead of calling it "tough love".

[when-a-robin-chirps]

As someone who've seen a mother try to justify her abuse ( mental and physical ) on her son because he was hitting ( “because boys are violent” ) big on that.

It is disgusting to try accusing your own child of abuse when he's simply acting like you are.

roald dahl was antisemitic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife. hp lovecraft was racist as fuck. anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think orwell’s homophobia bleeds into one of his books so uh keep an eye out for that

the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people

[gremlingyaru]

roald dahl was also racist. seuss was ALSO also racist. and these people are dead and we aren’t supporting them by consuming their work but their CHILDRENS BOOKS reflect this. so consume consciously and don’t give racist books to kids and not read it critically with them (and if you don’t it better be bc you know they’ll be able to do it on their own)

[when-a-robin-chirps]

Heavy on the reading critically with children! I offered my little siblings my old history books and while reading them with them I found there really were a lot of bad things in it ( namely calling natives indians ) and since we did it together I got to talk it out with him. It's crucial that children learn to not take everything at face value in books and to think of them critically! It will be an essential skill they'll be able to carry into adulthood. You cannot trust their school to do with them.

[transmasc-theory]

If you look at nearly every study quantifying social oppression- rates of suicidal thoughts or attempts, rates of being subjected to conversion therapy, rates of rape and domestic violence, rates of avoidance of medical care due to discrimination, I could go on- trans men are among the worst off in the entire queer community.

But unfortunately, one study that failed to prove statistical significance suggested that trans men who are employed full-time might make a whopping ten cents an hour more than trans women who are employed full-time, so you see, my hands are tied and I have no choice but to declare trans men a privileged class within the LGBT community. What do you expect me to do? Acknowledge the flaws within that one study on full-time wages? Acknowledge that even without flaws, the study would still be only one measure of social oppression experienced within the queer community and thus it might be worth looking at other ways transmascs are disadvantaged? That's crazy talk! This one study in front of me is the only one that matters!

[when-a-robin-chirps]

The study is faulty at best. It does not show the median, we know it's on 7000 LGBT full times worker but we don't know what they work in. The study fails to tale into account LGBT men with the exception of trans men. It puts every nonbinary person in the same category including two-spirited people (?!?). AAPI are shown to earn more than white worker yet no one's gonna tell (rightfully) that they have privilege over white people. And not only that but once again IT IS ABOUT THE USA. A study solely based in the US, made by people living in the US, cannot be showing a world wide wage gap. Let's stop acting like one study based in one country on a very small amount of the LGBTQIA+ community who are seemingly abled considering they can work full times, represents the widely different reality of LGBTQIA+ people accross nation.
