white "people" said what?

WE ARE NOT WWW.GOOGLE.COM. This is a safe space for ONLY PoC to talk about our everyday experiences with racism, from blatant offenses to micro-aggressions. White ppl, don't message or submit to us.

Watching white women try to distance themselves from the violence white men commit as if they aren’t complicit in white supremacist violence 

[afronerdism]

White women are not only complicit in white supremacy but are active participants and upholders of white supremacy.

[simplystormie]

They give white men a run for their money

[ourqueenfelinefatale]

A lot of times they use white men to do their dirty work

[divestedblackwoman]

Y’all are fucking delusional if y’all think white women are worse than white men.

[russianspacegeckosexparty]

Uh oh, somebody is mad that we stated the truth 🤣 White women are just as bad and even worse sometimes.

[xmagnet-o]

Speaking from experience, white women have done more damage to me psychologically and emotionally than white men have. (I could even add physically in some situations)

White men straight up tell me if they don’t fuck with me, which is fine. Like…Thanks for not wasting my time.

White woman will act like an ally, gain your trust then turn around and unleash a full wave of bigotry, pettiness and sabotage. It even gets worst when they find out you’re a confident woc or refuse to play their games/by their rules.

[africanaquarian]

white women are worse from personal experience

[sunshinesmania]

They are worse because you expect them to know and understand oppression because they are women but solidarity is a fucking myth.

Over 250 #JewsAgainstICE have been arrested in the last month protesting what we see as impending genocide.

The 40 arrests today in NYC were at an action organized by @JFREJNYC.

[wahtdahel-blog]

Footage shows the devastating moment ICE agents broke through a man’s window and detained him while his two young kids were in the car.

Can’t believe this is actually happening. 

[seymour-butz-stuff]

When they say they have a judicial warrant and don’t have one, they’ve violated the law. In any normal functioning court system this would be grounds for immediately having the case thrown out. But of course ICE doesn’t rely on any court system at all now according to Trump’s latest executive order.

ICE is rotten from top to bottom and needs to be abolished. Replace it with an agency that respects the rule of law.

Garbagemen have far more dangerous jobs than they do, yet we’re supposed to accord these lawless scumbags respect? Respect is earned, not given. First they have to act worthy of respect.

[cocoacallalily]

If you are a supporter of this, keep in mind that you are supporter of people being treated as criminals for *being.* particularly if you’re ancestors immigrated here in the 20s-60s, you’re advocating for punishing people for doing the SAME things. For trying to escape persecution, political corruption, famine, etc the same things your grandmother’s mother left her country to escape.

This man was not *doing* anything. He was just *being* here in the States. And it takes YEARS to gain citizenship.

[endangered-justice-seeker]

this post is for all my white followers. just remember it wasn’t that long ago.

[hashtagloveloses]

Trump's threatened ICE raids are back on for this Sunday 7/14/19.

Protect your communities. Tell any immigrants you know to go to WeHaveRights.US for videos in their language.

[aceinthewild]

This is the one with the correctly translated Spanish infographic. Beware, there is a fake one floating around that does not match the English version, and encourages Spanish speakers to do the opposite of what this one reccommends and does not correctly inform them of their rights! Please make sure you spread the correct version! Reblogging the one from @AOC is always a good strategy.

In a Historical Move, As Illinois Legalizes Weed, They're Erasing 800,000 Marijuana Convictions

In one of the most sweeping criminal justice reforms to date, the state of Illinois will wipe the records of nearly 800,000 people whose lives were ruined by the war on marijuana.

Illinois — Starting with Colorado and Washington in 2012, the government’s immoral, violent, and destructive war on marijuana began to come to a grinding halt. Although measures for medical marijuana were enacted long before this, complete legalization paved the way for a revolution.

Sadly, however, despite this revolution, millions of people whose lives were ruined from weed arrests, were still carrying around these convictions on their permanent records, drastically stifling their career and home buying opportunities. Once those within the system began to realize this, measures were taken to help these folks clean up their records. However, this was a slow and grueling process—until now.

On June 25, 2019, Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed HB 1438 into law which ends cannabis prohibition and replaces it with a system to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and over. But the bill didn’t stop there, it also includes an automatic expungement process for those whose lives have been ruined by the state who kidnapped and caged them for possessing marijuana.

Unlike the previous measures in other states, which fell short by requiring people with marijuana convictions to file forms and requests within arduous bureaucratic restraints, HB 1438 is automatic. Now, people arrested for possessing this plant in small amounts won’t have to do anything to have it wiped from their records.

[jenniferrpovey]

I believe New York is moving in this direction too.

Please keep the momentum going.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[whitepeoplesaidwhat]

It may seem far fetched, but making a secondary blog for that sort of more adult, personal content would be a good idea, if you wish to express yourself in a more salacious manner.

That's actually where i thought i was posting it to, lol.

[whitepeoplesaidwhat]

I apologize for those posts, everyone.

Imma keep it a stack... we weren't hacked, i know it was me who posted them but i dont rememeber when. I feel like it was in the last couple days but idk. I will however be using less drugs in the future.

Really sorry about that.

[starlightandtears]

People think dogpiling by @ing accounts like staff or BuzzFeed is the way to be heard and I can tell you it isn’t because a social manager has no power beyond telling their manager “hey, people are saying this. What should I do?” and their manager saying either 1) ignore them and push content 2) I’ll let (upper) management know. Then the thing doesn’t get done until the people at the top decide to do something.

That’s why changes are a slow as molasses. The person blogging on the staff account has no power to change any of the things that need changing and honestly, social managers are the whipping posts for brands. Constantly wading through vitriol from the outside while becoming increasingly frustrated with the politics of the inside. Because at the end of the day, the people constantly reading “fuck you, staff! You’re worthless and I hate you. Please choke.” isn’t the assholes who cannot seem to effectively clean up this site. It’s an intern or a person low in the org who has to do the dirty work of keeping the brand in tact and create content. Often while underpaid and overstimulated.

Anyway, social media professionals should unionize. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

[ororomunroedontpullout]

What would then be the appropriate way to get your grievances noticed? What’s a productive way to voice grievances because yeah I know @ staff isn’t the best way but there should be some way? It’s not fair that teenagers needed to learn how to report child porn to the FBI because staff was completely uncaring until they got removed from the App Store. What is the proper way to go about rising these concerns.

[starlightandtears]

I honestly don’t know the answer to that beyond tighter boycotts and finding out who decision makers at the parent companies are and petitioning them/speaking at them directly. And even that is a dangerous gamble.

In a perfect world, companies like Tumblr would be more transparent with their “costumer service”. They could 1) establish social verticals specifically for customer service with multiple managers trained to make sure the issues in my OP are avoided. That’s what more traditional brands do 2) have an accessible email/virtual suggestion box moderated by a team who, as part of an internal system, would relay the necessary changes to the tech + community teams who would then be more transparent about the work they do.

Thats why I feel bad for whoever has to be on the frontlines of all this because I’m almost positive they’ve elevated people’s concerns. They can see you, I promise. I’m just willing to bet that they’re not actually allowed to do much of anything.

I’m not saying you should follow BuzzFeed’s Cocoa Butter vertical because I’m curating the content there now but I’m just saying…

The IG.

The Twitter.

[whitepeoplesaidwhat]

You know I just want to say. At one point I had sent some ignorant crap in your ask. I was embarrassed and made a fool of myself. I just want you to know that since that point in time I have started to shut up and just listen. Listen to what POC have to say. Thank you for calling me out. I know I still say racist and hurtful comments. Now when people call me out, I apologize and correct myself. I guess this is just a long way of saying thank you for putting me in my place.
