Where was I the day folks were getting free educations…… cars…….cable….. internet……..food……..rent????? Shhiiiiiit. I miss all the good stuff.

I can get all this shit for free?  DAMN, and I JUST got me a job, too!

I think they’re referring to things like shelters, scholarships made specifically for POC, Food Stamps, Medicare/Medicaid/CHIPS, and other such things. I have no idea how you can get free TV and internet, or a free car though.

…uh.

Let me show you why you’re a fucking idiot piece by piece, okay?

1) 76% of scholarships go to white people. Only .01% of all scholarships available exclude white people from applying. 

2) Shelters only allow in PoC? What shelters would those be, hon? Because last I checked the reason that shelters are so saturated with PoC is because MOST WHITE PEOPLE HAVE A FUCKING PLACE TO FUCKING LIVE

3) More white people get ALL kinds of government aid than black people. So…WRONG AGAIN!

but do go on

Bolded the important stuff.

[Image: A screencap from the show Best Friends Forever of the character Queenetta, a lovely, fat 9-year-old Black girl wearing jeans, a bright pink jacket and a bright yellow shirt with butterflies with her hair in pig tails, standing on a front stoop of a building.]

WTF Is Wrong With NBC: New Show To Feature Sassy & Ghetto 9-Year-Old Queenetta

Daija Owens stars as a young Queenetta in NBC’s latest sitcom “Best Friends Forever.” A soft-spoken Daija portrays a sassy and ghetto 9-year-old who clashes with her two  white neighbors who have watched her grow up into the stereotype that she is.

In the trailer for the April premiere, Queenetta tells her adult friend that she better let go of her khaki pants now that she is back in the dating field; oh, and that she needs her nails done (conveniently drop a Drake lyric here). 

Queenetta, rolls (her eyes, necks) with the best of them. Her character would be cute if it didn’t depict black females as the loud, sassy, in-your-face, angry type-of-person the media commonly portrays us as. 

All this show does is prove that there can’t be a central character in a major production without he or she falling prey to a company’s lack of sensitivity and limited scope of black people. 

Not only is Queenetta’s name offensive, she clearly has no parents in the trailer (we all know there can only be one black character in these situations). 

Take a look at precious Queenetta: here.

I can’t with NBC. I really can’t.

white people collect your folks.

When are there going to be shows on television where a Black or Brown kid in an urban setting isn’t reduced to a stereotype-ridden joke or a sob-story lesson for white consumption?

Plus, how creepy is it that this girl’s precocious understanding about sexuality (a nine year old giving man-pulling advice to grown white bitches) is used to comic effect for white grownups? Is anybody not seeing how fucking horrifying that shit is?

Oh. my. god. 

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME!? 

I am beyond disgusted here. This is so fucking wrong. Okay, fellow white women, we need to go get our people, we need to make sure NBC knows this isn’t acceptable, and we need to make sure we understand why this is so gross. 

This is abusive and exploitative of the young actress, as the commentary above has said so well. 

And all of this for a shitty, not even funny, disgusting comedy about wacky white women and their wacky white women problems which are actually very boring and silly and forgettable.

We are all Trayvon Martin, we are all discriminated against for what we are somewhere. I am a white woman. While being white and wearing a hoodie may not get me stares… what about being a woman? There are still places in the world that a woman has no voice, some that can’t even walk down a street without a male escort, places where women and children are still sold into sexual slavery. My female ancestors fought for the right to vote, the right to be heard, the right to have a voice, fair pay, and to be recognized as an equal person with the white males … I am WHITE.

I am a FEMALE.

I AM TRAYVON MARTIN.

Yes, you are *like that*

Dear Fellow White People, 

I’ve noticed that when PoC (particularly the many wonderful WoC here on Tumblr) talk about their lived experiences and things happening to them and their communities, especially things inflicted by white people, white patriarchy, or general whiteness there are a great deal many of us who’s first and most vehement response is, “Not all white people are like that!”

As someone who is trying to come get her fellow white folks and herd them onto the clue bus so that PoC don’t have to waste time with you, let me inform you (as they have so often informed you) - if your first response to reading about someone else’s pain is, “But I’m not like that” then, actually, yes you are exactly like that. 

They’ve been telling you this for a while. A long while. But you’re not getting it. And you’re showing your ASS or acquired selective sociopathy, which is what I like to call the way whiteness causes you to dehumanize non-white people.

The appropriate response to someone’s pain is empathy. The minimally decent reaction when told you might - however involuntarily or unwittingly - be involved in causing that pain is to think, “Well, gee, I don’t want to be part of that. How can I make sure I’m not doing that?”

If you are a white person who’s pushed back the pervasive, sociopathic influence of whiteness just enough to start asking such questions, then be aware that you still don’t deserve a cookie. Because that’s the bare minimum requirements of not being a total and utter douchewaffle, okay?

When you lay down your very life to combat whiteness, then we’ll talk about maybe a half a cookie or something. Until then, just realize that on the Test of Humanity, that response gets you a couple of points above the pass/fail mark. You pass, but you could be doing so much better

As for you others? 

You are like that. You are once again prioritizing your feelings above their very lives and realities. That’s what makes you EXACTLY like that. Because that’s the essence of whiteness and racism - to place yourself, your feelings, your wants, your needs, your comfort, and your view of the world far above those of anyone else and then do all that is necessary to make sure you never need do any different. 

Because when someone makes a post like this about the n-word slur and white people who use it and then act afraid of Black people in public settings? The correct response (or at least the minimally decent one) is, ”Wow. That’s very true. Do I do that? I better make sure to eradicate the n-word from my vocabulary and thinking as a white person. I should make a point to learn about that word and it’s harmful use against Black people and communities so I can be more away. Maybe I also do the head down thing in public. I should go read more about it so I can learn how it’s harmful and ways to do better. Oh, hello there Mr. Google. Can you help me find some things that have already been written on this topic?”

That’s the response you need to be giving at the very least. And if you aren’t, if you’re not even trying to give a different once besides “We’re not all like that! Stop generalizing us based on your completely correct observations about how a VAST NUMBER OF US WHITE PEOPLE HAVE ACTED!” - then yes you are EXACTLY like that.

Black teen shot and killed in mostly white gated community he lived in while going to a convenience store to get snacks by a Neighborhood Watch official who said he looked suspicious

Via Global Grind: “17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a Neighborhood Watch captain inside his own gated Orlando, Florida community where he was living with his father, stepmother and little brother, according to the family’s lawyer. Martin was shot after returning home from a local convenience store, where he bought snacks including Skittles candy requested by his 13-year-old brother, Chad.

According to the family’s lawyer Ben Crump, the family is calling for the Watch captain’s arrest, saying Martin was “on his way home and a Neighborhood Watch loose cannon shot and killed him”…”.* Was the teen singled out and shot because he was black in a white neighborhood? Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss if race was involved on The Young Turks.

HE HAS A NAME: Trayvon Martin, Shot & Killed By His Own Neighborhood Watch (DETAILS)

I know Tumblr doesn’t like hearing about this but when people talk about “white privilege,” part of what is meant is stuff like the ability to exist beyond the confines of your home without the fear of being killed due to your race or ethnicity.

And white people have the nerve to feel “discriminated” against. And white people have the nerve to say we live in a post racial society. And white people have the nerve to call us reverse racists. My anger towards white people will never ever be enough.

I agree that SOME white people make stupid claims about post-racism, but no one helps the argument by going “My anger towards white people will never ever be enough.” What gives you the right to generalize about an entire race based on the actions of some? Doesn’t that sound a bit familiar to you? I feel like minorities, of all people, should understand that it’s not right to judge someone based on the colour of their skin. There are white people who understand white privilege, such as myself and many others I know. It frustrates me when PoC make generalizations about me because I’m white. You have every right to be mad at our society, furious, actually. But do not make judgements about me based on my skin colour, because I do not do so to you.

So that thing where there is a good time not to speak & to shut up and listen? This would be one of those times. In a world where we die for being black and our killers not even be arrested, why the hell would we think some random white person is safe because they say so? Like, what the hell kind of logic is that?

I’m sorry but what the fuck?

A Black woman decides to share her horrible, traumatic experiences with her Tumblr followers and stupid ass, disgusting white rape-apologists

first: do her the disrespect of the reblogging the post for everyone to see and critique

and second: Call her a crazy,…

The best part? When she was told that she should have gotten psychiatric help. Like that shit’s not expensive. Like anyone can just go and get psychiatric help. I remember reading a recent research piece about how black and Latina girls have rather high rates of bulimia, yet are less likely to get help because they can’t afford it. The reason why eating disorders are seen as a middle class white girls problem? Because they’re the only ones who can AFFORD to get the help.

And let’s forget that a lot of Americans don’t have health insurance because they don’t qualify or couldn’t afford it (especially back when this mess happened to her), so it’s very easy that psychiatric help wasn’t available. So being a young child not knowing HOW to cope, while dealing with racism and bullying, even bullying ABOUT her rape, WHAT WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO DO?

And as someone pointed out, that shooter who killed those kids in Ohio, black kids btw, was getting all types of sympathy. HE SHOT KIDS. KILLED THEM. She didn’t kill anyone, and yet is getting ten times the hate THE WHITE BOY WHO KILLED THREE PEOPLE did.

Oh, but there’s no racism behind this.

I’m really sorry I have to say this.

quetzalcobra:

And I don’t mean that I’m sorry to say this or I feel bad about saying this, I mean that I’m sorry some of y’all are so fucking stupid that it comes to the point that I have to say this, but here it goes:

You are not a Black person (or any other POC) trapped in the body of a white person. Seriously. And you know what? Being an actual biracial woman who also happens to be visibly White, I think I probably know what I’m talking about. If you are biracial, great, say you’re biracial. But you’re not, you just really want to be special and I guess being Otherkin is out this year.

Thank you! The entirety of this nonsense of being transracial has just…I don’t even know where to begin. It’s so very obvious that it’s built on white people wanting to appropriate the very SOULS of people of color to make themselves feel better or more special because they have exotified and othered PoC’s/non-white folks to the point that they feel - as quetzalcobra so brilliantly puts it - that they can’t be special unless they claim that identity.

Ugh. I am so over people who claim to be transracial or transdisabled or whatever else, because it shits all over so many other people and just proves that it all comes back to privileged people wanting the pleasure of completely and utterly owning the selves, souls, and identities of the people they oppress.

Cultural Appropriation: Dreadlocks

dumbthingswhitepplsay:

curiouslycool:

racismschool:

Are Dreadlocks really cultural appropriation?

YES

Here’s why:

Dreadlocks originated first with Jamaican Rastafarians and then in Indian Sages and Yogis. Specifically it was started by holy men. These men renounced all of their worldly belongings (Including combs) and as a result their hair started (and remained) to turn into dreadlocks. In the beginning, it was actually something very beautiful to show that you’d given yourself and all that you possessed to GOD. 

Then, it turned into something ugly. When these holy people were seen by others, they were looked down on. Seen as less than because as they gave up all they had, that also meant they gave up their money. They were the poorest of the poor and the dreadlock became a sign of being poor, dirty and less than human.

This was an extremely spiritual symbol. It was not a fad or something people did to show their love of weed. 

As time went on, the Indian culture did not see anything terribly interesting about the dreadlocks. However, Jamaicans as well as those in the Caribbean thought otherwise. They believed that the dreadlocks were part of a religious lifestyle and actually considered the hair to be holy and powerful.

Dreadlocks are believed to have made it to the USA during the time of slavery. Both Black slaves as well as Indian slaves were captured and both brought this holy symbol and belief with them. 

For the ignorant that want to get dreadlocks because they are Bob Marley fans or because they “Like the Rastafarian lifestyle.” I say, FUCK YOU. Many of you believe that the “Lifestyle” you like so much is about “Relaxing and smoking weed.” Nothing could be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, if Bob Marley was any kind of representation for your wanting the locks in the first place, you know absolutely NOTHING about Bob Marley.

He was a truly spiritual man. His hair, his lyrics and the way he lived his life were representative of this. (Yes, he did some questionable things. That isn’t what this post is about though) For you to take a spiritual symbol and chalk it up to your love of weed, is not only appropriation, it is down right disgusting and cruel. There is this gross misconception that just because religion is a weapon, an afterthought or something to reference during political debate in this country that it is the same in others. IT IS NOT. Your actions are shameful and mean. You are acting disrespectfully and you have chosen to do so with no forethought or concern for who you are hurting.

This “Hair style” that you are choosing to believe is about sticking it to your parents, smoking weed, “loving” Bob Marley (even thought you clearly know nothing about him) or even about “Love and peace” is SO MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT. It is just not bigger than that TO YOU. It isn’t “That big a deal” TO YOU. That is how you know without a shadow of a doubt that you are in fact a bigoted cultural appropriator. You just don’t give a damn. Privilege and entitlement reign supreme. 

I have no respect or kindness for those that chose willful ignorance. It took me less than three seconds to find this information on Google. I don’t mean, it took three-ish seconds guys. I mean, I timed myself and found page after page after page of this information. I mean, I timed myself and withing those three seconds, I found more than one page that answered every single question I had. What is your excuse? You are CHOOSING to be a racist, bigoted, cultural appropriating piece of garbage. It is not okay.

Racial-based hate crimes still make up like 49% of all hate crimes, period. That basically means that there is NOTHING as dangerous in this world as being non-white. Anti-black hate crimes make up nearly 3/4s of all racial hate crimes.

There’s just nothing in this world as dangerous as being black. Nothing at all.

And that’s got studies behind it.

It’s not like I needed statistical confirmation of this because I already knew it, but damn. It hurts more when you read it like this.

I think that’s what’s necessary though. For not just non-black people to see it, but for us to realize that none of this shit is in our minds or imaginary or oversensitivity or overreacting.

It’s fact.

Exactly. Because there are some mornings when I wake up and I just DO NOT WANT to deal with the bullshit I know I’m gonna have to face and for just one quick second I start to doubt whether it’s really as bad as I think it is. And then I get the proverbial slap in the face that reminds me it’s not as bad as I think it is. It’s worse.

YES. There have been days where I am so tired and angry and confused and wondering what more I can say to get these white people to understand, and wondering if there is really just something I am somehow missing, maybe I’m overexaggerating, maybe it is just me.

But, it’s really not. I have to live my life in fear of whiteness.

At the same time though? I’m so much happier than I ever was when I was seriously black-hating. Even though I have less friends, even though I’ve pulled away from all the things I used to do…I have much more self-love right this moment than I’ve had since I was a small child.

Sex positivity and other lies on Tumblr

madamethursday:

[Original post snipped. See it here]

 I agree.

And truth be told, I prefer non-white women for most of my sexual exploration.

It’s erotic, exotic, and quite frankly, the majority of white women I’ve been with have major daddy issues.

The Mexicans just yelled and threw stuff/tried stabbing me.

I can handle that. Because the rougher you are physically, means the rougher sex will be.

Where the hell am I going with this?

Anyways, I agree with everything posted, and added my own thought process down here.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. 

This is racist as fuck. I cannot even begin. I just do not even know. WHAT THE FUCK MADE YOU THINK THIS WAS OKAY?

Oh my god, this is the most disgusting possible response to what I wrote. Just FUCK NO. You - a WHITE MAN - do not get to sit there and say that women of color are “erotic and exotic”. That is disgusting and gross. It fetishizes and dehumanizes women of color just like white men have been doing for centuries. Just no. 

I don’t even know where to being with how much wrong is packed into this response.

Also? “The Mexicans”? REALLY, ASSWAFFLE? “The Mexicans”? So all of them? All people who identify as Mexican got together and threw stuff and tried to stab you? Because if so, yay on them and I would like to help and support them in that endeavor.

You’ve got to be shitting me with this shit. 

I now feel extremely bad for any women of color who have had your disgusting racist ass inflicted on them and hope that you never get the chance to spring your fail on any more.

I’m about to write an post, as well as a guest post to a well-known external blog about this, and if need be, I will submit it to my local news organization for review, and I need for you to understand that before I proceed. This is not something you will be able to explain away or cover up. There is already a blog post that is spreading across tumblr about this, so it’s not like no one is going to hear about it. It’s already out there. Your staff has made a mistake.

You recently removed a blog titled deathtoallwhitepeople from your servers. This is understandable, and was expected, as the entire reason it was created was to point out the hypocrisy in how certain users are well-treated at the expense of others. However, you appear to have missed all of the following blogs:

These blog titles are equally reprehensible, equally offensive, and violate your Terms of Service in the same way. I can’t imagine why they are all allowed to remain.

I also need to point out that the 1st Amendment protects private citizens against governmental censorship. It does not provide protections against the actions of a private company, like yours. You  have the option — the power — to do something about this, to stop such hateful terms from being used against a group of people who are being harmed and oppressed by them. You’ve already chosen to use that power, and therein lies the hypocrisy: you didn’t protect the free speech of the person or persons who started the deathtoallwhitepeople blog, or protect other people of color from the death threats they reported to you.

In doing what you have done, you let all of the people who were involved, along with anyone who is reading and reblogging the related posts, know that you care for the so-called 1st Amendment rights of white persons, but none for the rights of people of color.

I am disgusted by your actions, and ask that you treat your members the same — that you remove blogs that use the word “nigger” in their title, and do not allow anyone to use it in their URLs in the future.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Everybody, please, reblog the shit out of this.

mimi is out here makin moves!!
