Austin, TEXAS just had its FIRST FORUM and over 400 people showed up!!

It has been an amazing experience helping the Latino community get informed (and really hard since I don’t speak a lick of Spanish).

To all my followers: go out and do something for your communities.

Haaay, same here in Charlotte!

I’ll keep you updated. I’ve been displaced for about two hours.

sorry to bring a race question into this but why did you have to say he was black

oh my god shut the fuck up

a child just died what the fuck is your problem

I swear white people somehow try to make a tragedy about themselves.

If anyone had even a thought similar to prettyfacebasketcase’s, please refrain from letting anyone know. Keep that to yourself, you dipshit.

Self proclaimed “trans racial” people, is your obsession with the pop culture of your trans-country just coincidental?

I should have been born on Antarctica, I’m so coldhearted.

You know, you could have just been born in a freezer in America.

BECAUSE IF YOU TRY REAL HARD, THEN ONE DAY, YOU MIGHT JUST BECOME ANIME.

As bad as weeaboos are, they aren’t even what got me mad enough to make a passive aggressive post on tumblr, hahaha.

strongbow287 asked: Your tumble name is by far the sickest one there is.

Thanks! People keep reading it as custard died for your sins, and I don’t even know how.

Before the U.S. attacks other countries, it tests its weapons on indigenous peoples in the Americas; military and nuclear testing also takes place almost exclusively on Native lands. Native women have been disproportionately impacted by nuclear testing in the Pacific Islands and on the Nevada test site on Shoshone land. In Canada, the Inuit have been subjected to NATO war exercises that have been wreaking environmental havoc where they live. The 18,000 low-level flights that taken place each year over Inuit land create so much noise they disrupt the wildlife and destroy the hearing of the Inuit. In addition, oil falls from the jets and poisons their water supply. Since the Inuit depend on wildlife for their subsistence, flights threaten their existence. Two jets that crashed contained an extremely toxic substance, hydrazine, but NATO was not required to publish any results of the study regarding the potential effects of this crash. NATO considers the Inuit to be expendable causalities, as illustrated by one of its promotional brochures:

One can spend a one-hour mission at low-level and never see another human being. The only humans are occasional Inuit families who hunt and fish out of small camps on a seasonal basis.

Canada’s Department of Defense has disregarded any complaints of the Inuit, arguing that any negative health effects can be attributed to poor nutrition.

Apparently, again, Native peoples do not qualify as human beings. Similarly, at the First People of Color Environmental Justice Summit in Washington, D.C., in 1991, representatives from the Western Shoshone nation reported that low-level flying also takes place on their land. According to the Shoshone, the flying was supposed to take place over the cattle pasturage until the Humane Society interceded and said this would be inhumane to the cattle. Consequently, the war exercises were redirected to take place over Indian people instead."

The media lies.

• They keep referring to Michael Laney as a “suspect,” when it reality, the only thing suspect about him is that he was riding a red scooter.
• They’re simultaneously saying Michael Laney had his hands behind his back and that he was reaching for an officer’s gun (or his gun), which is physically impossible if your hands are behind your back.
• Notice how all the media reports say that the officers thought Laney was reaching for a gun, but no one has mentioned whether or not he actually had a gun. You know why? Because he didn’t fucking have a gun. If he had one, that shit would be in the goddamn headline. 
• Most of the media is conveniently leaving out the whole part where after the cop shot Michael, the other cop yelled to him “What have you done?” They fucking knew right then they had used excessive force.
• The media is bringing up Michael’s felony record for one reason: so that the police officers can be justified in murdering him.
• The goddamn piece of shit police chief had the nerve to say “these officers feared for their lives.” Fuck you. Michael was running to his mother’s house. He feared for his life. You did not fear for your fucking life when you had him handcuffed, when you shot an unarmed, handcuffed man in the head. 
• Then, he had the nerve to say “the alternative is we could be talking about two dead cops right now.” This… this is what they think about us. The police chief of the Charlotte Mecklenberg Police Department has literally said “Yeah, a black man’s dead, but it’s way better than the alternative: a white cop being dead.”

God fucking damnit.

I have four siblings: two brothers and two sisters. One brother and one sister are white passing: light hair and light eyes. They are viewed as white by white people. My other brother and other sister are not: dark hair and eyes, darker skin not perceived as “just a tan”. They are both viewed as Brown by white people. They get asked where they’re from nearly everyday. They are subject to racism for being mistaken as other races (being viewed as Mexican in the south is not fun) and then more racism when they correct people.

Just seeing the vast differences in the treatment of my siblings by white people gives me so little patience for white-passing Natives when they talk about or embellish stories of experienced racism and are listened to before non-white passing Natives. I know there are always exceptions (though too many claim this), but seriously, come on.

I have to listen to my brother tell me how he got called a stalker by a white girl when he went for an evening jog because he dared jog on the same busy street as her, how a cop car followed him until he came home. I watch white people treat him like he’s stupid or doesn’t speak English because he’s not white. I watch as “benevolent” racists and people who want an exotic Native boyfriend grab his long hair. I watch him and one of my sisters get treated like shit on a daily basis.

But the experience my other two siblings have is completely different. They’ve never had a potential employer give them a confused up and down look while repeating their name multiple times. They’ve never been accused of being creepy or stalkers or potential criminals literally for just existing in the same space as white people.

I know our experiences aren’t a funded experiment or study with institutional support and backing, but they’re real. And our experiences clearly show the difference in treatment when you’re visibly Brown from when you’re white-passing.

We’re sort of trained into this early in school, but I’ve got to say saying this is just a white thing is a bit :/ Years of living overseas has shown me that while Americans might be obnoxious with this we’re not ALONE in it.

I live in the US where most white people have to pick a favorite country and obsess over how they studied abroad there one semester. Right now on my facebook I’m looking at some girl talk about how living in Spain for five weeks changed her life and how she’s going to open up a tapas bar.

Of course it’s not always only white people, but I usually only see white people do this and always with the argument that they want to experience someone else’s culture because they don’t have one of their own.

Why do white people always have to adopt a country to be obsessed with?

No matter how much you talk about Spain/France/Morocco/Chile/Denmark/Costa Rica/Japan, I’m not going to buy into your “Omg, I should have been born in ______, I’m so ______ at heart” bullshit.
