The One and Only :P

White folks ain’t going to reblog this. They want their version of MK Jr. that only said “I have a dream”. 

Guilt tripping white people into reblogging stuff isn’t going to make you have more allies, just saying.

It’s not about guilt tripping. 

It’s about white people, even well-intentioned white allies, being too comfortable in their privilege and not learn more about the complex beliefs of civil right leader MLK Jr other than his “I have a dream” speech. MLK Jr. talked extensively about American Imperialism, Capitalism, and White Fragility/Complicity throughout his career and activism, which most Liberal white allies won’t share because they’re too comfortable with the white lies they were taught in schools. 

Reblogged.

totally agree, however that is still guilt tripping lol

here’s the hilarious thing about calling this “guilt tripping.” the psychological definition of a “guilt trip” is an UNJUSTIFIED feeling of guilt induced in someone else. um, what about anything here said about white people that’s “unjustified” or baseless? we’ve got over 400yrs of evidence to back up our statements about white people. we even got studies, research and stats. none of which shows what @dreamyblackchild said to be false.

The research suggests that when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy.

Whites See Racism as a Zero-Sum Game That They Are Now Losing

Martin Luther King and the ‘polite’ racism of white liberals

White Americans long for the 1950s, when they didn’t face so much “discrimination”

lmaoo white people love to act like we don’t have centuries of examples of who they are. always want to act brand new. like this suspicion and mistrust of your character isn’t earned every fucking day by your behavior, your treatment of black people, native people, brown people, by who you vote for, who you support with your money, who you tone police, your “jokes” and more. foh!  like there isn’t a trail of dead black, native and brown bodies in your wake. we watched y’all whitewash the fuck out of mlk’s legacy (AFTER KILLING HIM BTW) and then tried to use that whitewashed version to limit our fight for liberation and justice to just the acts your comfortable with and then have the fucking nerve to say that calling out your typical behavior to be “guilt tripping?” fuck you.

the one other thing i know about “guilt tripping” is that it only works on people with a fucking conscious. foh!

no effort whatsoever. like mlk said…

for all the constant mlk quoting about “content of our character” blah blah blah i hear from white people, how do they think this reflects on their character?

Dumbasses who have never talked to a non-christian in their life will say that religions are cults because they preach salvation and give you rules to keep you in line like y’all do realize that hell isn’t a universal belief???? That Judaism teaches that god wants his people to be just and compassionate??? That Buddhism is about liberation from suffering??? That Hinduism teaches reincarnation? That Islam believes in a just and merciful god? That there are an endless number of diverse and nuanced beliefs that various indigenous peoples struggle to reclaim every day? And you all have the nerve to lump us all in together with the likes of catholicism and jehovah’s witnesses just because you’re too fucking smug and lazy to get off your ass leave your own bubble and read a god damn wikipedia article?

Question for all my followers. How many of y’all are still wearing masks everywhere? And are you doing this because you’re mandated to or out of an abundance of caution?

listen. listen. the pandemic is still fucking happening. “abundance of caution” my ass. people are fucking dying every fucking day, of course I’m wearing a goddamn mask. Of course I am. I don’t want me to die, I don’t want my loved ones to die, I don’t want my asshole neighbor to die even tho I hate him. I’m going to wear the fucking mask until the plague stops happening.

my ability to attract misfortune is so bad that i genuinely worry about stuff like accidentally rear ending a guy who turns out to be a wizard who's already having a really bad day and getting my entire bloodline cursed over it

wait a minute

This is getting traction again as cases surge. I want to repeat what I’ve said on Twitter: In the 4 months since I’ve posted this, none of my symptoms have improved. I’m nearing 2 years post-COVID with zero improvement, no answers, and little hope. Take this seriously.

How much money did judas sell out Jesus’ ass for though

Jesus of Nazareth when Judas sells him out for thirty pieces of silver which is worth $370 dollars in current money.

the united states of america hates children

if it were not explicitly illegal to make kids work long hours, companies in this country would be scheduling 14 year olds with 8 to 12 hour shifts just like they exploit the adults they employ. the foster care system in this country is a nightmare. the corporal punishment debate feels like it’s never going to end; there are still parents who feel that they are ‘within their right’ to hit and spank their kids and there was a bill introduced to the house of representatives as recently as february of 2021 that has once again proposed ending corporal punishment in schools. nearly every private school in this country, except for those in new jersey and iowa, is still legally allowed to punish children physically. the public school system is a traumatizing mess with intense grading scales and attendance policies that aggressively punish kids of color, poor kids, disabled kids, and neurodivergent kids. the way federal funding for schools is determined in part by adequacy and ‘basic skills’ test scores makes me want to scream. every environmental health crisis has directly impacted developing children severely and the government doesn’t care enough to do anything about it. occurrences of gun violence in schools are so frequent that we have drills in every one of this country’s public schools, treating school shootings as though they’re as inevitable as severe weather or accidental fires.

this country seriously just fucking hates kids.

jk rowling is making britain inhospitable to trans women so I will be personally biting anyone who buys a ticket to that movie. you’re all quite happy to put ‘terfs dni’ in your bios for woke points but let’s maybe try putting our money where our mouths are for once x

JK Rowling is making Britain inhospitable to all trans people

you are right, apologies. I just had the shit she said yesterday on my mind when I wrote this but you are 100% correct.

I’m sorry you think she’s that powerful, what did you think Britain was like before?

She’s one of the richest people in Britain and puts that money towards groups and policies that make life and transitioning harder for trans people, such as going against the equality act which aims to protect LGBT people from discrimination. Sorry you’re ignorant to how the world around you works but this is something that’s actually happening.

PLEASE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I’VE SEEN THIS THIS AFTERNOON.
