“But everyone was racist back then! All our favorite historical figures were racist compared to today’s standards! It’s not fair to judge them based on contemporary ideas!”
Let’s debunk this favorite derailment spawned from the headcannons of the White History fandom.
1. “Everyone was racist…
Everything said here ought to be said more often. It is stupid of me that I didn’t see it so distinctly before, how the average black person has to feel about all these lionized figures in U.S. history - as a Jew, learning that someone was an anti-Semite thoroughly marrs everything about them.
“The truth is those male feminists are often seen as being way more brave, and way more valuable than female feminists. I’m kind of tired of that. Because the truth is that as a woman, being a feminist is much more difficult. You’re accused of being crazy. People might even stop being friends with you if you speak out too much. You’re told you should be an “equalist” instead. Because ‘liberation’ is a dirty word (like feminism); it has to about ‘equality’ rather, because
men feel threatened by the word ‘liberation’.” —

I think that male feminists are considered crazy by some people, and/or that they’re insincere, really just trying to look good to women. I wouldn’t comment on how often this is so compared to any tendency for people to think of female feminists as “crazy.” Men don’t risk losing friends if they speak out a lot about our society being patriarchical?
Wtf Favour, now I might be talking to myself when I talk on here. If you read this, woudja fuckin let me know if you visit my blog.
I see what you mean about my eyes being nice. I spent like an hour brushing & flossing, pacing all the while (lol, that might be some of it, some of why I take so long, I’m stretching/exercising while I brush & floss, always pace while doing it) in this bathroom that had some natural light in it, a couple different mirrors. I see that my face isn’t ugly/has some nice features. Lol, maybe I even see that I have, LOL, nice eyelashes. It is ugly in spots though. The way I was looking naked this morning, at the moment my body is above mediocre (I did skip all but breakfast yesterday [lol, maybe I shouldn’t say “at the moment,” I fuckin just ate 9 jalepeno & cheese bagles…LOL, I fuckin swear]). Alright, point is, I’ve been shamefully wasting some decent shit, and I’m pathetic if I don’t find a pretty girl here at girl-packed college when I get healthy. …Damn, lol, rereading, this sounds a bit sorry, I shouldn’t post this :)
Popular Seattle Teacher Forced Out for Teaching Kids About Racism →
takepart.com
The battle at Seattle’s Center School raises the question—how should schools teach students about tolerance and discrimination?
===
wooowww. so how come a teacher leading an anti-racist discussion should have to warn parents beforehand that white children may find the conversation “distressing,” yet teachers talking about slavery, christopher columbus, andrew jackson, the mexican-american war, etc, in the usual apologetic or glorified manner, don’t have to warn parents beforehand that children of color may find the conversation very distressing???
“The Courageous Conversations curriculum developed by Glenn Singleton invites teachers and students to deliberately push beyond polite conversation.”
I don’t know, I aint freakin saying that something other than “polite conversation” doesn’t have a place and doesn’t enlighten…but is it the most effective way to teach the general populace about racism? …”An alternative arts intensive public high school” - ya it’s fucked up that they shut the class down.
I always laugh when
people say that can’t relate to an all-black show or they can’t relate to a woman protagonist. PoC, women, etc. have been relating to white characters and male characters forever. Why don’t you have the capacity to relate to characters unlike you?
whoop, damn
“
Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like:
Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn’t you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn’t want to be mugged?
And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don’t even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn’t help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.
Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn’t it.
Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.

Me, On The Screen: Race in Animal Crossing: New Leaf →
jetgreguar.tumblr.com
I’m sitting on my bed for the third day in a row.
I’m waiting for 5PM to hit so that I can finally close my 3DS. I’ve been ‘tanning’ my avatar in the latest entry of Nintendo’s long running Animal Crossing series, New Leaf. I put ‘tanning’ in scare quotes because the method doesn’t match my intention. Yes, I’m doing the the thing the game calls tanning, but my objective isn’t just darkening my avatar’s skin tone, it’s being able to see in the screen what I see in the mirror
This was a long read with a lot of good points, but in my opinion, skin color in games is as trivial as skin color in real life. At least, it should be trivial. People are people, regardless of skin color. They can be good, bad, neutral, smart, stupid, of moderate intelligence, whatever! Their skin color doesn’t make them who they are. And the same thing goes for characters in video games.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for 100% character customization across the board, but if something like the color of your character’s skin is preventing you from enjoying a game like this, then maybe maybe you should double-check your priorities a bit.if this is all you got out of that post then I don’t honestly think you read the damn post
No, they clearly didn’t read the post.
Dumbass.
“This was a long read with a lot of good points, but in my opinion, skin color in games is as trivial as skin color in real life. At least, it should be trivial. People are people, regardless of skin color.”
shut the fuck up
“This was a long read with a lot of good points, but in my opinion, skin color in games is as trivial as skin color in real life. At least, it should be trivial. People are people, regardless of skin color.”
shuuuuuuuut the fuck up

shuuuuuuuut thhhhhhheeeeeee fuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkk uuuupppppp
Damn. I was gonna get this game but i definitely won’t now. To the retarded motherfucker that says color don’t matter? STFU. GTFO. Its easy to day that when white’s default. And i’m guessing you probably White as fuck
-_-
Only read part of the article. (how you gonna use that word Fav?)
This idea that you “have” to forgive people in order to move on or whatever is complete and utter bullshit. You don’t “have” to forgive anyone in order to live a life that’s fulfilling to you.
lmao its always the crustiest and wackest of white boys who are quick to say that they dont date women of color like theres a long ass line of fine black women at their door desperate to ask for their cool ranch dorito stained hand in marriage

This was unintentional I swear to GODS. But it fit yeah?
fun fact: iraq, pakistan, afghanistan and saudi arabia have a higher percentage of women in the government than the us & the uk
another fun fact: white people tend to get very angry when you point this out to them
I don’t know about the second statement (maybe anyone getting emotional wouldn’t think to assume that in the case of all four of these countries there are quota systems in place that ensure and promote female representation), this does do a terrific job of highlighting how America’s political system/the American electorate has a problem. Dunno, maybe that we’re hypocritical if we pushed Iraq and Afghanistan to have these quotas.

My boyfriend Ali is 5’10” with friendly blue eyes, a dimpled smile and a fit, muscular body. He’s someone you’d expect to see with a really hot, thin woman…not an overweight girl like me. We’ve been dating for 18 months, and, wherever we go - whether we’re walking hand-in-hand through the mall, airport or down the street in his hometown (Glasgow, Scotland) or mine (San Jose, Calif. …

Reblogging just in case you missed it! Of course I went into this knowing that people would still post some really dumb comments without even reading the whole story.
