Thanks @lorde for spending 753 minutes with me in 2022. I couldnโt stop listening to Stoned at the Nail Salon. #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/64tnqs5xoJ
@_Starkilla yoo did you see Hassan in Dearborn was on the news for filing a police report for getting into a confrontation at the polling place? Lmao we love good old metro D
@NobuatAhmed@mk7dan And I think that is the plan of the US prison system. Set up a precedent and pattern of disappearing black men, so that the next generation will most likely end up in the same place their father did. #socl214
@gkins15 Exactly, and just because segregation is illegal now, generational wealth made white people be able to keep growing and earning, whereas communities of color still have to struggle to keep their heads above water.
@NobuatAhmed Maybe instead of trying to have advantages in one aspect of life but not the other according to race, we should destruct the major systems in place, reeducate, and restart our society. Affirmative Action is a bandaid over a bullet wound, a useless attempt at mending a disaster.
@Mharr131Emich Yeah, especially since most of the Asian immigrants were in the medical field or business professionals, it is no wonder why there are not many Asians in media or pop culture, they are just trying to fit in a racist mold #socl214
@JozieSocl214 Exactly. In order to progress to happen, people have to be able to listen without defensiveness. However, change is uncomfortable but necessary and worth difficult conversations
@EberleBrent It is seen as a way to "want better" for their family member because they know being darker and "less white" meant less opportunities. Unfortunately, this has been a long-standing issue and still pervades the Latinx community.
@NobuatAhmed Yes! No more token black friends, token gay friends, etc. It's time to have these characters be fully realized and developed just as any other white or heterosexual or cisgender main character. Minorities are more than a tool for plot development.
@WyattRaymond99 And it is even harder when you see your more privileged oppressed peers get their needs addressed but because of your sexuality or gender or wealth, you may be excluded from the wheel of progress.
@EberleBrent And it is more shocking that universities discovered so early on that the test does not provide any relevant information regarding college-readiness, rather that the people who scored higher's parents could shell out more money to the school.
@j_lepiors#socl214 Yes! As a Latina, it is so confusing when picking a category for things such as standardized tests etc., because sometimes there is White Latino and Non-White Latino and for someone in the middle, it can be a moment of unsureness and feeling like you don't belong.
@MelodyWarren_ Yes, he was the reason why, but it is probably also his peers and colleagues encouraged the spread of such ideologies in order to make it such a widespread institution of hate.
