Once again, they are planning on mass death and slavery. And i am not joking.

I think Black people underestimate how evil White people are. Y’all not thinking deep enough.

Silent racism is what’s really doing us in.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Black people deserve better.

[Mr. G @In_The_Dark89]

They both deserve better

[svrp @shereeserenee]

and unfortunately I’ll succumb to the angry black woman stereotype because u will not bully me

The saddest thing in politics is watching citizens defend the same system that keeps failing them.

We really don’t hate colonialism enough.

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.

May we all live long enough to see Afghan women taking revenge against the Taliban and everyone else who was involved in their suffering.

A lot of you never held any leadership role prior to marriage. Not your offices, not in associations you belong to, not even headboy of your primary school, so marriage is the one place you finally get to be the local champion leader you’ve been having wet dreams about.

Pathetic

You might not realize it yet, but we're part of the first generation of women with the freedom to build lives on our own terms-emotionally, financially, and independently, without needing a husband or children to define us. This level of autonomy is something many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers never had access to. It's not just progress-it's power. Celebrate it. Own it. You are living a life they only dreamed could be possible.

Babies get raped. Elderly women get raped. Women dressed modestly get raped. Women in hijabs get raped. Nuns get raped. Women in jeans, tracksuits, pajamas, school uniforms, and work uniforms get raped. There is no outfit that prevents rape and no outfit that invites it.

If you are more comfortable analyzing a woman’s clothing than condemning a rapist, you are part of the problem.

You know who else was childfree? That’s right. Jesus Christ

Never underestimate how colonized your parents minds are

Education has really radicalized me I don't wanna lie. Knowing stuff has made me deeply angry about the world. If you're not angry, you literally just don't know enough.

So apparently you’re my target audience 🥹🎀

[Maryam @hell_line0]

I think a lot of us millennials are mourning the life we thought we’d have. Adulthood hit, and instead of thriving, it’s been nonstop doom ever since.

"violence isn't the answer" only gets said when oppressed people start fighting back, not when the oppression is happening
