Do Your Fucking Research *Nicki Minaj Voice*



Wowā€¦ Lmao.


Some people threw white paint on it a few years back.


They want to be a victim so bad.

Fun Fact: Thatā€™s a statue of the fistĀ which Joe Louis used to knockĀ out Max Schmeling, Hitlerā€™s favored heavyweight boxer in 1938. Schmeling won the 1st bout by knockout in roundĀ twelve, but Joe Louis came back in the follow-up match and laid him the fuck out in the 1st round.

Fun Fact: Schmeling was hated by the Nazis for losing to a black man and for having a Jewish manager, and he hated them right back, stating in 1975 that he was glad heā€™d lost the fight because the thought of Ā the Nazis using him for propaganda purposes sickened him. He also personally saved the lives of two Jewish children and later became lifelong friends with Joe Louis.
So maybe donā€™t refer to him asĀ ā€œHitlerā€™s favored heavyweight boxerā€ā€¦

Thank you for this additional info!
Reblogging this for the added facts and so people know that Schmeling wasnā€™t a Nazi or Nazi collaborator and was in fact a good man 

Imagine hating Nazis so much that when you get beaten up your response is ā€œGood, now they canā€™t use me as a role model.ā€

As far as Iā€™m concerned, thatā€™s Americaā€™s fist.

Most of the medical research was done on white males and their response to medicine. This is why medical books should only serve as a framework but clinical expertise matters more.
And this is why we need more black doctors.



There is a great instagram called Brown Skin MattersĀ that has certified photos of different rashes and skin conditions. I find this VERY helpful. I just recently stumbled on it and itā€™s a nice, quick, resource.Ā 



My partner and I discussed this yesterday. There is also a Dermatology for Skin of Color textbook by Kelly and Taylor but it unfortunately doesnā€™t have a ton of pictures. When i used to have access, Visual Dx did make a decent attempt to include examples on darker skin tones, but itā€™s expensive and my hospital doesnā€™t pay for access to it anymore. Strongly recommend sending in clinical images to Brown Skin Matters Instagram, Figure 1, and other apps/websites if you have them and have patient permission. We need to build these databases.

Bright spots where you can find them: this action is illegal and the mayor is doing it anyway. Thereā€™s a ā€œhistoric preservationā€ law in Birmingham that makes it difficult to impossible to get rid of landmarks past a certain age that ā€œjust happened toā€ grandfather in all the Confederate nastiness around town. Many have wanted this thing gone for a while but there was no legal way to do it. Itā€™s getting done now. 
Reblogging with this addition. Important context.Also to say, anyone in the comments who is upset at ā€œā€ā€œhistoryā€ā€œā€ being removed, we literally donā€™t need this. Nobody is about to forget the hundreds of years of oppression that white people have put PoC and esp black people through. And if you forget or you do not teach that to your children, youā€™re the problem, hands down.

also: history is not recorded in statues. itā€™s recorded in books. history is glorified in statues.: evilkitten3:

Sora
 Trok, a modest spacer, aspires for the simple life of delivering goods 
in the Nebula, a galaxy ruled by a powerful monarch. But when he finds a
 group of teenage orphans on the run from the same monarch after a 
government shake-up, Sora finds that life in the Nebula is far more complicated. 
Suddenly
 caught in the middle of a conspiracy, Sora and his crew have to choose 
who to fight, who to trust, who to love, and who to hate.
Even among each other. 
As
 each crew member goes on their own journey, enduring an action-packed 
war for their lives, they discover dark secrets that go far deeper than 
anything they could have ever imagined.

[[This is Isaiah Hineā€™s high school presentation on white fragility. Youā€™re not going to get a simpler explanation, in my opinion, so if youā€™re white you should really read this. Below are Isaiahā€™s notes on each slide.]]
ā€”
What is White Fragility?

Robin DiAngelo is a professor at Westfield State University and author of What Does it Mean to Be White? Developing White Racial Literacy.
Iā€™m sure youā€™ve all seen these ā€˜defensive movesā€™ in action before. ā€œI didnā€™t mean anything by itā€ ā€œI wasnā€™t trying to be offensiveā€ ā€œI have a black friendā€ ā€œNot all white peopleā€
People are often more worried about being called a racist than actually doing something racist. In America white people often donā€™t even have to consider race. They often think of themselves as ā€œracelessā€ white is conditioned to be the norm and everyone else is considered ā€œracedā€ or ā€œcoloredā€. White fragility allows white people to govern when and how race is discussed. White people expect to be educated on racism, and in a nice way.
ā€”

Why Is It A Bad Thing?
White people never learn as a result and are allowed to continue saying and doing racist things. White people prefer to hear these things from other white people but because other white people donā€™t know enough about racism, they cycle continues. When people of color do things like the BLACKLIVESMATTER movement, many white peoples responses were ā€œall lives matterā€ this is white fragility. Proclaiming that black lives matter does not inherently mean that other lives donā€™t. This statement is made because society continually shows us that black lives donā€™t matter in america and these are the lives that need the affirming. We already know that white lives matter, it doesnā€™t need to be stated. White people are very used to being the center of things and when they arenā€™t it makes them uncomfortable. 
ā€”
Why Does This Happen?

Most people donā€™t fully grasp the idea of systemic racism and that we live in a racist society that perpetuates racist ideas. We are socialized into white supremacy.

Why Does This Happen?

Most people donā€™t fully grasp the idea of systemic racism and that we live in a racist society that perpetuates racist ideas. We are socialized into white supremacy.

I hope he wins the lawsuit, a police officer was finally doing the right thing and they penalize him for not being a racist monster!


his name is stephen mader and not only did he refuse to shoot, he actively wanted to help the man (ronaldĀ ā€˜rjā€™ williams) because he could tell that he was only acting out because of mental illness. rj williams was suicidal and holding an unloaded gun and, while mader didnā€™t shoot him, a fellow officer (ryan kuzma) did and murdered him on the spot. here is the sourceĀ and hereā€™s to hoping rj williams gets justice


ā€œSaying the words ā€˜Just shoot meā€™ sent up the red flag that he was just trying to harm himself and no one else ā€¦ Thatā€™s what made me make my decision. He needed helpā€ I hate this fucking world. The guy was actually trying to do his job by actually desculating the situation the right way (desculating these days apparently just means shoot them) and was fired for ā€œfailing to eliminate a threat.ā€

HE WON THE LAWSUIT AND GOT $175,000 


I read this whole story. It is wild !! The conversations between him and his ex coworkers about what went down that day šŸ˜§šŸ˜¶
Listen to it all here: 
What Happened When A White Cop Decided Not to Shoot a Black Man


when I say there are no good cops, this is part of the reason why. 
ā€œgood copsā€ lose their jobs for doing the right thing. 
ā€œgood copsā€ die mysteriously after whistleblowing. 
ā€œgood copsā€ are forced to choose between their livelihood and becoming just like the rest.

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protestingā€¦
Would be a further shame if people started covering cameras (as seen in Hong Kong, with protestors using poles and rakes to lift cardboard boxes over security cameras), blinding drone optics with laser pointers, and flooding police-run reporting apps with junk data.
It would be a shame if the protesters noted that plainclothes cops can be identified a number of ways, such as wearing steel-toed boots; an armband or wristband of a particular color; driving white, black, or dark blue cars with concealed lights; or having the outline of cuffs visible in the back pocket or the bumps of an armor vestā€™s shoulder straps under their shirt.
It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over the heads of the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hardback books, and ceramic tiles.
It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top) upside-down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain tear gas by placing them over the canisters.
It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise.
All this would be a terrible, terrible shame.

a word of caution about the plywood thoughā€¦ I just reblogged a post earlier today saying that if a rubber bullet hits that and shatters it, the splinters can put you in more danger. depending on how youā€™re holding it up, it can also damage your arm if youā€™ve strapped it on somehow, and carrying a shield can make you a target for them to shoot things at, so it might actually be safer on the whole if you donā€™t try to construct a shield, counter intuitive though that may seem.

a word of caution about the plywood thoughā€¦ I just reblogged a post earlier today saying that if a rubber bullet hits that and shatters it, the splinters can put you in more danger. depending on how youā€™re holding it up, it can also damage your arm if youā€™ve strapped it on somehow, and carrying a shield can make you a target for them to shoot things at, so it might actually be safer on the whole if you donā€™t try to construct a shield, counter intuitive though that may seem.



Itā€™d be a shame if I reblogged this and people read it: caitas-cooing:

Would also be really annoying if they wore heat resistant gloves to throw back the hot tear gas canisters and if this got shared to all those protestingā€¦
Would be a further shame if people started covering cameras (as seen in Hong Kong, with protestors using poles and rakes to lift cardboard boxes over security cameras), blinding drone optics with laser pointers, and flooding police-run reporting apps with junk data.
It would be a shame if the protesters noted that plainclothes cops can be identified a number of ways, such as wearing steel-toed boots; an armband or wristband of a particular color; driving white, black, or dark blue cars with concealed lights; or having the outline of cuffs visible in the back pocket or the bumps of an armor vestā€™s shoulder straps under their shirt.
It would be a shame if the protesters began making their signs out of inch-thick plywood to stop rubber bullets, forming a tight shield wall to prevent police from singling out and mobbing individual protesters. It would be a shame if the people behind the shield wall held up umbrellas so that tear gas canisters fired over the heads of the front line will be bounced away. It would be a shame if protesters began constructing improvised armor vests out of duct tape, hardback books, and ceramic tiles.
It would be a shame if protesters started wearing safety glasses, hard hats, respirators, and gardening gloves, all of which can be found at the same hardware stores as the plywood. It would be a shame if they started using traffic cones (the kind without the hole in the top) upside-down buckets, or other improvised lids to contain tear gas by placing them over the canisters.
It would be a shame if protesters learned that police scanners are legal to own in the US, allowing them to learn where police are moving and what routes they intend to take. It would be a shame if they discovered that these scanners can be used to send as well as receive, allowing them to flood the scanner frequencies with noise.

This white womanā€™s shocking account of police brutality reveals the importance of the #BlackLivesMatter movement
Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black ā€” and she ends the letter with an important call to action.

The public needs to hear more stories like this as well.

Wow. This is horrifying.

Cops are drunk on power. Add any ism to that, you have a bunch of abusive, gun wielding, trained to kill, non empathetic, killers running around.  

This woman got hauled out of a window, beaten, stripped, tortured, and humiliated, and she still is able to understand how white privilege saved her life.

hey friends, if you care about cultural appropriation and the damage it causes, please check out this awesome project!
in 2017 dior copied the design of a traditional romanian coat from the county of bihor and sold it for 30,000 euro, giving no credit to the local artisans. in response, romanian fashion magazine beau monde helped the community create their own brand, bihor couture, which sells the original coat, handmade to order, for 500 euro a piece. they also sell other traditional clothing and jewelry for much more accessible prices (5-45 euro). theyā€™ve been hugely successful so far, and currently have enough pre-orders to cover 4.5 years of work, with 100% of the profits returning to the community.Ā 
itā€™s surprisingly common for big name fashion designers like dior, gaultier, tom ford and altuzarra to copy traditional romanian clothing and sell it for ridiculous prices, with minimal original input, while giving nothing back to the community where these designs originated.Ā itā€™s completely unfair that a big name designer can just steal so much hard work and misuse it to make huge profits.Ā 
please support bihor couture, if not by ordering one of their products, then by spreading the news around. itā€™s really awesome to see a small community fight back against cultural appropriation so successfully. i hope they carry on for a long time!


But like, when this is done to cultures of color, non-white, nothing happens. Like, Iā€™m here for the people in Bihor, but it makes me wish more work was done just like this for African countries, Asian countries, Hispanic Countries, etc.

The people of Bihor did this for themselves. With the help of a Romanian magazine, they support themselves. The Romanian community posted this, reblogged this, and you saw and reblogged.Ā 
But this wasnā€™t doneĀ ā€˜for usā€™, work was not doneĀ ā€˜for the people of Bihorā€™. White people didnā€™t see this other ā€˜white countryā€™, and sadĀ ā€˜yes, let us help our fellow white citizens on this Earth while continuing to ignore everyone elseā€™. The people of Romania and Bihor saw this and saidĀ ā€˜we must actā€™ and acted. Take this US-born concept ofĀ ā€˜cultures of colorā€™ away from multicultural continents like Europe, where this thing does not apply.
This post gained traction on facebook in Romania, from romanian to romanian, and then on tumblr (as you can see, the tumblr that posted it is a Romanian tumblr). The tumblr explaining you this, vrabia, is a romanian tumblr. Nothing is ā€˜work done forā€™. We see it, we reblog it, we did it, weā€™re bringing it to light.Ā  We are doing it. It is work by, not work for. No one gave Romanian and Bihor anything. They/we did it.
You want thisĀ ā€˜done forā€™ other countries? Angelina Jolie is doing it through UN. Poeple are doing it. But work ā€™done for Bihorā€™ (done by) does not invalidate workĀ ā€˜done forā€™ other countries and cultures. Let us have this at least, after all the world took Vlad the Impaler and vilified a national hero by making him a bloodsucker.Ā 

lol thatā€™s my old blog bless :))))))))

Take this US-born concept ofĀ ā€˜cultures of colorā€™ away from multicultural continents like Europe, where this thing does not apply.
This post gained traction on facebook in Romania, from romanian to romanian, and then on tumblr (as you can see, the tumblr that posted it is a Romanian tumblr). The tumblr explaining you this, vrabia, is a romanian tumblr. Nothing is ā€˜work done forā€™. We see it, we reblog it, we did it, weā€™re bringing it to light.Ā  We are doing it. It is work by, not work for. No one gave Romanian and Bihor anything. They/we did it.
You want thisĀ ā€˜done forā€™ other countries? Angelina Jolie is doing it through UN. Poeple are doing it. But work ā€™done for Bihorā€™ (done by) does not invalidate workĀ ā€˜done forā€™ other countries and cultures. Let us have this at least, after all the world took Vlad the Impaler and vilified a national hero by making him a bloodsucker.Ā 

lol thatā€™s my old blog bless :))))))))
