bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.

This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.

What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.

Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.

This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.

I find it funny how tea is associated with Britain and yet Britain doesn’t have a single tea plant AND Switzerland is associated with chocolate but doesn’t even have a single cacao tree.

Its been 7 years since anthony bourdain died, he respected palestinians like very few other western journalists ever did. This is from a 2013 episode of parts unknown where he went to the gaza strip.

This is a coup.

These are two beautiful poems recited by James Broadnax who lastnight was executed by the state of Texas for a crime he didn't commit.

Please give his voice a few minutes of your time.

"white people act like Jesus died and left them in charge" 😭 that statement will never not be relevant

Louisiana just canceled our elections. I am speechless. Early voting was 2 days away. All of this is happening because our governor, Jeff Landry, is still angry that the ENTIRE STATE rose up against him and voted against him trying to REWRITE our constitution in weeks last year

Fighting for Democracy is more important than having decorum.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Canceling an election after votes have already been cast just so you can redraw the map to disqualify Black and Brown voters, is RACIST AS FUCK!

I read the story. They were looking for a Black suspect and he was the first Black man they saw, then they proceeded to physically abuse him. This is the danger of racial profiling.

White people don't want to discuss slavery but worship the Confederacy, which only existed to preserve slavery.

Big shoutout to the creators and cast of Living Single for setting the standard and creating the blueprint.

It doesn’t get the credit it deserves, especially when others ran with the formula *cough* FRIENDS
