I cal it the no sympathy headspace
like I can’t in anyway sympathize with other women’s stories. I feel like an awful person.
But if it’s not a woman of color or poverty there becomes a mental block
It’ll pass
but I can’t get past the
” oh you expected to have safet/money/sympathy/ access /help?”
Why did you expect that?

A close blood relative of mine who shall remain nameless tried to tell me that Native people are Caucasian. Not that WE are Caucasian because we’re not full-blooded Natives, but that all Natives regardless of BQ are Caucasian. There was a whole explanation for this theory but I couldn’t hear it over the sound my mind made while picturing aiyman’s hypothetical facial...

I’m posting this in my blog in one attempt to ensure that whenever you Google “Santorum,” that is what comes up first.
I support this cause.

And even then Black folks are still shuckin’ and jivin’, or being sassy/angry, instead of just enjoying our damn food.

The amount of white whine in comments for the poster about racism and “fair skin” is kind of making me facepalm so much right now.
Oh, fellow white people. That ad? Was mild. It was a mild and rather polite way of trying to tell you something that’s been an obvious fact of life for so many others in this world. But instead of engaging, you react defensively because, well, you...

Okay, so. Firstly, I am going to address language.
I think a good article for you to read is Fabian’s The Other Revisited. It discusses some things that I think you need to read and understand about why we pick apart and have issues with your language, and why you still perpetuate racism and privilege within your...

Seriously, think about it.
dumbthingswhitepplsay:
White people don’t really try to fight racism, all they’ve been doing the past hundred years is making the tiniest allowance to get the greatest return. First it’s overt: “You’re a nigger, you’re not allowed into my restaurant/school/water fountain/whatever the fuck.” People didn’t like that, so they toned it down: “We’ll put you in jail, we’ll deny you jobs, we’ll have...

Way to promote the patriarchy.
The good thing about being “liberated” sexually is that you can portray yourself any goddamned way you want. If I want to flash folks at the club, you damn well better respect me while I do it. I’m still a goddamned human being.

There’s a new policy at the Montgomery County Jail - inmates can’t send out letters anymore - only postcards. And starting in March, they won’t be able to get incoming letters, either. Only letters from lawyers can go through.
A spokesman for the sheriff’s department says the postcards-only policy was implemented because the jail staff was spending too much time opening...
I Will Ask
zorascreation:
Whenever queer persons, particularly Gays & Lesbians, try to co-opt the Black Experience, I will ask them to stage thousand-strong marches. I will ask them to face down house and church and school bombings, water hoses, police dogs and tear gas en masse in the middle of the day. I will ask them to focus on rectifying other issues affecting queer folks instead of “same-sex...

Dear Everybody,
zorascreation:
I deleted Death To All White People. Not Tumblr staff. I have to correct this misinformation, pronto.
Again, I thank you for this information. Tumblr did address this in their message to me, and I did post that response after my initial post. I do hope that people are reading it.
I will be sure to edit that information onto the initial post as well.

rubyshimmer asked: Just want to say kuddos on actually getting a response back from tumblr support. I had an issue a few months ago. Some tag editor had promoted the blog Niggerbutter in the gif tag section. I emailed Tumblr support twice!! And didn't get a response. I also contacted various tag editors. I didn't even ask that the blog be deleted, just that they not promote it. Of course nothing happened...

A response!
Tumblr has removed some of the blogs in question, and has stated their position:
First of all, I would like to thank you for your email. I’m sure that sounds a little strange, perhaps ingenuous, but if there’s a perception of unfair treatment, then it’s best that we be made aware of it and perhaps get to explain.
The fact is, we investigate what blogs are emailed in to us for...
THEY'RE GONE.
deliciouskaek:
Tumblr took many of them down. Some were allowed to remain. I’ll post the response and reaction emails shortly.
Thank you to everyone who reblogged my post, and thereby showed their true colors, for better or worse.
Thank you, tumblr, for not being complete dicks about this.

literarymercenary asked: Have you considered submitting the post you're setting up to a network like Gawker? They occasionally cover racial issues (one of their columnists just got fired for using a racial slur in an article in a joking fashion) and they would definitely get it spread to a large audience. It might help.
Just to clarify, as I believe the post is being...
I do not expect for anyone to report the blogs listed on my previous post.
That list was meant only to be an example of how tumblr allows for certain offenses which harm its users who are POC, while the rest of its user base is well-treated. If you visit those blogs, and find that they should be reported, then by all means, do report them. However, if you find them to be innocuous, please let...
