It's also my business standard.
If you really, truly, in your heart believe what you said in that “get over the word nigger” post, then honestly?
I think you’re a bit of a dumbass.
An ignorant dumbass with no grasp of history or racism.
Like, let’s recap:
Why is the word “nigger” still such a controversial topic? It’s 2013 people, stop being offended by a word and stop relating it to such negative ideas. MOVE ON.
(It’s 2013 yes, and guess what? ~*Racism still exists*~)
You’re right in one regard, though. I don’t know what you’re thinking, because I cannot possibly fathom how your response moves us towards equality, or illustrates anything but your own ignorance and privilege.
Because it was a dumbass comment.
What a tweest.
DONE.
I hate EVERYTHING.

Imagine Person A disappearing without Person B knowing. Person B thinks Person A is dead. Over this time, Person B goes blind. After many years, Person A returns and Person B hears Person A’s voice for the first time in years crying as they embrace each other
Korean designers Je Sung Park and Woo Jung Kwon have developed an invisible umbrella that will keep you dry by repelling rain. Consisting of a simple plastic stick that creates an artificial wind at the top, the ‘umbrella’ deflects raindrops before they hit you by sucking in air at the bottom. The intensity of this wind-shield can be varied depending on weather condition and number of people sharing the device—the length of the stick is also adjustable.

It’s about time someone took a stand against overweight people. It seems like every time I pass by a newsstand the cover of every fashion magazine is plastered with plus sized models pushing their bovine agenda on me. Hang it up, fatties. Your free ride is over and it’s time for you to go back to Fat Town so the good looking people can get a piece of that pie (if there’s any left).
I think this book will probably upset a few people, i think it will be looked at wrong by some people..
I’m learning to apologize for my metabolism

Students Told to Create a Business Plan for Enslaving Africans in London England
Students aged 13 and 14 were given imaginary tools including manacles, whips, thumb screws, iron brands, muskets and barracoons, and asked to devise a Dragon’s Den-style (a reality TV show known as Shark Tank in the US) business proposal for the capture and enslavement of African people. Lesson materials included direction on how to carry out a “slave raid” and manipulate “African Chiefs” through bribes and lacing them with alcohol. Perhaps the most debased suggestions were that the “best” aspect of being a slave trader was having “an affair with a beautiful African girl,” and that adult male “mixed race” offspring could be sent to Africa to “run the slave business” while his white father sailed to America.
Teaching the history of enslavement via a business plan model serves to erase violence, oppression and numerous traumatic events such as the systematic rape of black girls and women. The teacher/s involved in this particular lesson plan saw nothing inappropriate or offensive about their methods. Yet, it would be hard to imagine that these same individuals would sanction a history class on the Holocaust that required students to figure out how to exterminate Jewish people. But black genocide is somehow different, less painful, less abhorrent, and thus vulnerable to trivialization. In 1986, Susan Rice (presently the subject of unjust Republican opposition to her potential nomination for the position of Secretary of State) argued that:
The greatest evil in omitting or misrepresenting Black history, literature, and culture in elementary or secondary education is the unmistakable message it sends to the black child. The message is ‘your history, your culture, your language and your literature are insignificant. And so are you.’
The implicit message of this particular history lesson was not lost on one 13 year old black girl, who in a state of distress complained to her mother about the humiliation she felt during the class. The mother soon after met with two teachers who refused to acknowledge the harm caused to her daughter, and instead sought to justify the innovative approach of the class. They, and later a third teacher, argued that the class emphasized how the slave trade was largely “divorced from moral and social issues”, and that it had been taught for three years without objection.
wait wait wait
hold it right there
this is a perfect example of how color-blind racism is steeped in anti-Blackness.
they won’t teach the Holocaust the same way, but they will teach American chattel slavery in this manner.
they are human, so it’s a morality issue, but we are not, so no1curr.
ok then.
*blank stare*
Genocide as a murder game for children to learn business.
Because, that is how little all that death and suffering matter to these people. And I wonder if ANY, ANY, ANY other student or parent was concerned in the least.
White people always imagine hate means you have to work up anger and fixation - that it requires the energy of being upset, when in fact, their hate is that of the act of sociopathy - no feeling, the violence against POC, and Black people especially, is as normal and casual as tossing a tissue paper in the trash.
This is straight up white sociopathy
I’ve been so wrong
Fuck this talk about society making you racist
Something is straight up wrong with your DNA
no words.
I’m super excited for the new season of Adventure time. So much awesome.
It seems as though Simon Petrikov was alive, and (more importantly) already wearing the crown, before the bombs dropped. That would explain how he survived the hellfire to follow.
Also, do you think this means that the Lich King caused the Great Mushroom War, or was he simply a byproduct of it’s effects on the world, just like everything else in Ooo seems to be?
Either way, I’m super, super excited for this season to begin.
