please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.
Recently I have discovered a scale that can rank the severity of genocide of a race. And while reading it, my mind was immediately drawn to the current affairs that was happening in America. This post may seem offensive, but it only seems so as it is confrontive and made by an outside viewer.
I am not American and I look at the current state of a country I have never even set foot in and compare it to a random scale I have found, and I am disgusted.
Anyways here is the picture and I will show evidence explaining why I believe things need to be changed.
Originally the photo had ‘7’ circled but I believe we are beyond that point.
10 Denial
For many years if a reporter or any person that has asked Donald Trump the question if has had/have an agenda against other races he would respond with,
“I am the least racist person that you’ve ever encountered,” - this particular phrasing is from A Vox.com article on Trumps history, (link below with other sources).
This is the same man who made an electoral speech by saying that he would built oh, so famous wall to block of the American-Mexican border. This is also the man who called Mexican Immigrant people, ‘Rapists’, ‘criminals’ and wants to make a ban on all Muslim people who wish to enter the country.
Yes, I know there are cases where a minute minority of a particular race has entered the country with bad intentions. But what about the people who are already in the country with bad intentions? I mean the white supremicists, who take it upon themselves to hurt other Americans.
Trumps has also made jokes about the TRAIL OF TEARS!!! I am not Native American, I do not claim to know the pain what their community feels or their ancestors felt in this particular topic. But from my standpoint I can fairly say that is disgusting, disrespectful, appalling, vile, repulsive and completely disregarding to generations of people who were deeply affected and still are. This is not acceptable from ANYONE!
9 Extermination
If you need evidence of extermination, pull out a textbook and read.
When America was first invaded, they took the land and slaughtered the natives.
When America had slaves, they slaughtered the misbehaved.
When America tried to ‘free’ their slaves. They slaughtered each other.
When World War 1 had taken place America help slaughter soldiers
When World War 2 had taken place, they also had camps for the Japanese.
When America bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, between 150,000 and 256,000 people and still affects the Japanese population to this date.
Did people forget America Napalm attacked people during the war had killed aroun 100,000 people?
Did people also forget the First International Eugenics Congress was in New York?
How about the fact it took until the 1950’s before African Americans had rights? Or that many people had died trying to make sure that happened?
When America looked at the peaceful protests and responded with violence.
When America’s own CIA set up and sold crack into black comminities to make their voices have no strength?
When America went to war in Vietnam, leaving its own people mentally broken and the populace horrified. And ignored the soldiers in the end?
When America went to war with Korea?
The war with Iraq? Iran? Afghanistan? What about those wars?
America was built on the blood that it spills.
8 Persecution
Before the Civil arights movement African American people were being tortured and killed just because they didn’t have a law to protect them. They had laws against them.
Please remember the killing of Emmet Till, they kid killed and tortured so horribly they recommended to have a closed casket. His mother said no. Show the world what it is doing to our children.
Tell me that was a justified killing. He supposedly ‘Wolf whistled’ at a woman.
Today man are raping and sexually assuring women in thousands with no punishment. (This deserves its own post).
Please remember the Central Park 5, who were cleared of charges, the case has been settled due to the DNA evidence clearly showing that it wasn’t them. Trump still stays on his opinion that they are guilty.
Persecution through the means of falsely advertising theories as facts is constitutionally wrong.
In one drawing, five people are lying in a cage covered in blankets
In 1931 about 1 million Mexican Immigrants and American Mexcian people were forcibly deported from America for stealing American jobs. Does this sound familiar?
In Mexico there is a long time battled drug war that is forcing people out of the country out of fear for their lives and their children’s lives. When they are denied access to The US they forcibly put in the town Reynosa. A key town in the drug wars. Endangering them once again. They fear death, torture, rape, and kidnapping.
Recently there have been reports of parents being deported back to Mexico and their children being ripped from them. These children are then ‘adopted’ or taken to be held in detention centres. The children in the centres are being forced to sleep in purposefully adjusted cold room with insufficient blankets, no pillows, no bed and in rooms with dozens of other children facing the exact same scenario.
The kids were asked to draw their experiences and every single one of them drew bars, and prison like conditions. The republican Congressman Jim Hargedon said “These are not concentration camps— no they’re not.” He also said they “can leave”. NO THEY CAN’T! Only if they make eligibility or ‘bail’ can they leave. How are they not camps?
I’m only at 7 and this is already a long list that I am actually already fuming over. Because the only people who would sit down and read this, are the ones who don’t need to see it. I will make multiple posts. Until it is everywhere. I’m done being passive.
Reblog this, like this, and comments on this to help me explain why we need to change. Stop being passive, it’s time to take action.
In a landmark ruling, an indigenous tribe from the Ecuadorian Amazon have protected their land from numerous oil companies seeking to use it for oil drilling. The Waorani people of Pastaza protected half a million acres of their territory in the rainforest, bringing their case before a panel of judges…
Hey. I’m Rab. I’m trans, queer, and DISABLED. However, I’ve been working full time as an online independent contractor, although I make no more than $5 an hour. I have nothing. I’m trying so hard, but I’ve run out of: Money, Food, TOILET PAPER, and I have no way to get to interviews to jobs that will pay me a decent wage.
I’m also in the negative $200 dollars just from trying to get bills paid without the money to pay them.
I don’t know what to say other than please help me. I’m so tired. I’m so, so, so tired. And hungry. Donation links are below, but I also do art and tarot readings! ( @rabbiedavis for art and @rabbietarot)
I’m sorry that I haven’t been around, but this is still going on. I still need help with rent, I think. I was hoping I’d have it all this month just from myself. The past several days I’ve just been doing interviews and trying my hardest to not commit suicide. I’m really sorry. I’m trying so hard to pull myself up from the dirt.
