-MISSION STATEMENT:
This blog is a safe space for People of Color to highlight examples of white privilege to further explain racial disparity in the West, specifically the United States and anywhere else it exists. It was created to mock a meme that was created. This is a response to the "nigga" meme. hopefully this blog just emphasizes how stupid the "nigga" meme is and brings understanding.
people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language
saw a variation of this conversation on twitter earlier
I just want to state for the record that this is completely uncontroversial among linguists. It’s the first day of sociolinguistics class.
I am relatively young but in final stage renal failure. I have a higher chance of survival IF I can recieve proper medical care AND LIVING ASSISTANCE in a different state. Get me OUT of Mississippi.
The long post w the good explanation is being shared but not inspiring much help. So, I simplified it.
My illness is straight up fatal. Not gonna beat around thatBush, anymore. I seem desperate for help because I AM desperate for help.
My nephrologist has seen enough improvement in my kidney function, lately, to believe someone my age (early 30s) might have a longer life WITH PROPER AND FREQUENT MEDICAL ATTENTION. Sadly, that just isn’t an option where I live.
Please, if you can help me with moving expenses (even just a couple of bucks) I would be grateful. I’m sinking fast in Mississippi and now my doctors are giving me too much hope to ignore. I wanna get out of this situation and I’m working my fatigued, brain-foggy ass off to make it out of here.
If I can undo the damage my heart failure caused to the rest of my body, I want to. I don’t want to spend another month KNOWING what I should be eating, what medicines I should be taking, what tests and treatments I should be getting… and receiving almost none of it because Mississippi lawmakers think people like me have somehow earned slow, painful deaths.
My entire fucking house just went up in flames. Everything gone. Only saved my cat and dog.
If anyone can help my Circle Pay email is MissElleFaye@gmail.com
Even Amazon GC would help I can food and pet supplies and new work supplies with that
I don’t even have words right now
Everything is just gone
My fucking house is on the news
Everyone, please help her. This is the hardest working content creator that I know. Everything she puts out is so amazing and she deserves the world, not this.
For the duration of May, if you donate $10 or more to @psy-faerie you can message me a screenshot verification and I’ll send you a free video via email. Please please please do everything you can.
I spent some money on groceries and diapers this week and I overdrafted my account four times without realizing it. I was charged a $29 overdraft fee four times, leaving me 164.43 in the hole with my bank. I thought I had more money in my account than I did.
I dont have the funds to cover the $116. I’m in school with a 1 year old toddler if anyone can help!
Tryna raise some funds between checks and practice my craft of 15 years. Boost please!
Really financially struggling if you wanna boost, donate or order a reading. I’ve been very generous giving $5 a card readings and any extra in tips, donations etc helps. Read the comments for reviews. I’m like a month away from homelessness if something doesn’t give, so all help really matters!!
ive been reading a book that basically explains how so-called “brain differences” between the genders is the result of gendered socialization and not the cause of it. i honestly expected the book to be very cis-centric but its actually the opposite, the author stresses that testimony from trans ppl is actually indispensable because we’ve, in a sense, “lived both experiences”
more cis feminists should have this mindset
one of the first examples that she uses to introduce her point about how perception by others can shape a person’s performance actually uses a trans woman. it explains that as a certain trans woman became to be seen as a woman more and more frequently, the ppl arond her eventually started viewing her as being ill equipped for tasks that they did not bother her about pre-transition. eventually she even found herself underperforming in these tasks herself.
I knew it was this book before I’d finished reading the first two lines. Honestly this book is indispensible if you want to debunk any gender determinism people claim is science. I can’t recommend it enough.
(Bonus bonus: I am myself a neuroscientist, and the old white men mentioned above – who are not – could not have missed the point harder if they’d actively tried. Which. Maybe?)
Twitter deleted her thread. Reblog to save it. #Love it!
UPDATE
Elexus Jionde
faces barrage of harassment after tweeting about 9/11 and black history
Jionde’s tweetstorm on black history prompted a largely positive response. However, it also triggered an onslaught of harassment, including racist comments and death threats.
“I’ve received death threats, racist jokes, and a lot of tweets regarding my future children having cancer. That [first] tweet has since gone viral, and without the 40+ tweets accompanying it, there are people in my mentions telling me that I’m a disgrace to my race and country for saying 9/11 only killed white people, when that isn’t what I said at all.”
Jionde believes that her thread being disabled was “no accident,” and she has accused Twitter of deliberately removing the thread.
“I believe Twitter deliberately unconnected the thread to deprive people of context. Some will say that it was some sort of system glitch or whatever, but I personally believe they disabled my thread because someone in the office was offended over the first tweet.”
Twitter outrightly denies this, suggesting that the problem could be the result of a bug.
“We can confirm that no proactive measures were taken to remove specific replies from this thread and are looking into this, in the event that a bug may have impacted it,” Twitter’s head of communications, Kristin Binns, told BuzzFeed News.
Fucking Wow
Twitter removes people’s posts all the time so their statement is bullshit. Twitter has deliberately worked against activists/activism as well so like.. free speech though right? Anyway I hope she has a paypal link
My name is Emmett, and those are my service dogs. I have PTSD and a seizure disorder as a direct result of the physical, emotional and sexual trauma I endured at the hands of Larry Etter and I’m asking everyone here on tumblr to help ensure my abuser is NOT released early from prison on parole.
Larry Dell Etter, my former stepfather, is a violent criminal who raped me from ages 4-16.
PLEASE take five minutes from your busy day and send an email to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice urging the parole board to deny his application for parole. All information needed is in the above photos.
Please, help me protect the children he would come into contact with.
Please, write a letter in hopes that no one else can be hurt by this man.

PLEASE REBLOG AND MAKE THIS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE
