@StonyUB they definitely need to be a part of the equation and the conversation to enact the change but i don’t think they should be burdened with the same tasks or responsibilities as those who have built the system(s) that oppresses them #SP22 (2/2)

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@StonyUB i don’t know if i can say everyone is to blame for some of the systemic injustices that we have seen. i can’t blame the poor for being poor and i don’t think they need to be spearheading the solution same with racial inequalities. #SP22 (1/?)

@ourMELANCHOLIA @DavidOo999 hit the nail on the head! #SP22

@barco_christina @DavidOo999 @haydanbloomberg this is a great movie with so many parallels to the real world we live in. give it a watch over winter break! #SP22

@ellen3cross there is always going to be things that we don’t agree with about where the money is going but knowing it can benefit someone even if that someone wasn’t me would give me clarity #SP22 can’t speak for everyone else but that would be enough for me

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

i think the biggest problem ppl have with taxes here in America is not really knowing where they are going. if everyone knew their money was going toward the greater good and not silly things i think ppl wouldn’t care so much #SP22

@abaker093 @rzbandz @Tweets2Jared yeah kind of like how you would gauge someone’s usage of the b word…like it’s definitely a word that women have reclaimed but the way someone says it or their attitude when saying it is very telling about what they mean #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@kierstenmojica @rzbandz @Tweets2Jared i could agree with that. it’s very case by case i feel #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@Philosophy1317 @nik_berardi @No39544540 i think part of the reason you could say they are treated poorly when they come home is due to the fact that many of them come home with mental illness or disabilities and things of that nature and the government treats them poorly #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@ourMELANCHOLIA me personally, if i knew 100% where the tax money was going and was able to see the outcome or like see my tax dollars working in action i don’t think i would mind. maybe some people feel otherwise #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@Lawrenc51239184 @No39544540 it should definitely be the government #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@rzbandz i think it should be both! individuals created the system so they also must be called out accordingly #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@foucaultsbestie @James20538875 @rzbandz @StonyUB i definitely agree with you! a phone is more than just a communication device and smart phones incapsulate so much into one device rather than having 12 devices that all do one essential thing you can have one smart phone #SP22

[SAY CHEESE! 👄🧀 @SaycheeseDGTL]

California estimates $569 billion in reparations is owed to black residents. “The committee will recommend handing out $223,200 per person to all descendants of slaves”

@abaker093 @GabiEwbank @hkmilktealover @James20538875 i think society takes to stereotypes because it reduces the amount of thinking one has to do when meeting new people. however in general it’s not great too assume anything about anyone. #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@GabiEwbank @StonyUB this is an interesting conversation to have. and i wonder what exactly is the limit for people #SP22

[asha charles @ashacharles14]

@No39544540 @GabiEwbank @ourMELANCHOLIA i think making housing more affordable is the route to go because making it free just doesn’t seem plausible especially if i make income from renting out the space to you. am i just not supposed to get paid? #SP22

thought this tik tok was sort of representative of what we have been talking in class about #SP22
