Teach children that this is not ok

Teach children that thereโ€™s nothing wrong with this

Iโ€™m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

Yellow face yet sheโ€™s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing, hon. โ˜บ๏ธ Cultures should be shared by all means.

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. 
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect. 
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not โ€œyellow faceโ€ they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work. 
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Pew pew pew

I reblog this every time I see it

I live in Japan and Iโ€™d like to back up this sentiment.ย 
Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear aย โ€˜kimonoโ€™ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl โ€“ a white girl โ€“ in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.
I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.
This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura.ย 
Where do you draw the line for who isย โ€œallowedโ€ to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girlโ€™s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok?ย 
Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If youโ€™re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??
You canโ€™t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules โ€“ based on race โ€“ for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does).ย 
When you tell people they can only experience things โ€˜meant for their raceโ€™, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I canโ€™t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You donโ€™t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.



fucking people got owned is what, fuck i hate how people say you cant do shit when culture should be shared and is shared its how it grows and changes through fucking generations itS HOW YOU LEARN about the world and just fucking, tumblr fucking stupid like 70% of the dam time

this new light

Vintage post, sipping on it like fine wine.

Always a fan of seeing this happen



Have fun, not make fun of



Same. Iโ€™m glad when people enjoy my culture, wear our traditional clothes and try our food recipes, as long as its respectful :)



All people should try to learn other religions! Iโ€™m proud of this girl!

Thereโ€™s been a little bit of interest in Jagged-Tooth, Cousinโ€™s first born son. A specific question was about his first meeting w/ Shepard, which I was gonna go on about, but I might make a comic about it later. So have a few sketches.ย Jagged-Tooth:ย 

A rare Yautja Biotic, an elite Enforcer, and despite a rocky relationship w/ his father, he risked dishonor and punishment to join a faction of Yautja that went against the clanโ€™s decision and went to aid Shepard. They meet when he arrives during the Battle for Palaven as surprise back up. Capable, dry, could be considered friendlyโ€ฆunless youโ€™re Garrus.(When your dadโ€™sย โ€˜favorite sonโ€™ seems to be someone who isnโ€™t even his fucking son, and who you think is a total dweeb, youโ€™re not gonna be happy about that, I guess)He takes after his mother more than his father, though has his fatherโ€™s intensity and skill, if only Cousin were more forthcoming w/ praise for that (he does recognize it, though he is very critical of his son and always being hard on him). Their relationship is that of an accomplished child with a father who has incredibly high expectations. That means that their relationship is very rocky.ย This started when he was young, as his path diverted early from Cousinโ€™s hopes and plans for him. Not many Yautja are taught to develop their biotic abilities, and due to there being some contention over whether or not biotics are respectable in the Hunt tradition, the training is more often than not discouraged. But Jagged-Tooth went into training, and instead of becoming a traditional hunter, went down the line of enforcement. Cousin still hasnโ€™t fully recovered from that disappointment.ย Joining the Yautja faction during the reaper war is the first time that Jagged-Tooth has ever had to operate under his fatherโ€™s lead. He tries to be professional about it. Cousin, on the other hand, doesnโ€™t try as hard to do the same.ย Someone described Jagged-Tooth as aย โ€œrare Yautja Bishounenโ€ and you know what?

A rare Yautja Biotic, an elite Enforcer, and despite a rocky relationship w/ his father, he risked dishonor and punishment to join a faction of Yautja that went against the clanโ€™s decision and went to aid Shepard. They meet when he arrives during the Battle for Palaven as surprise back up. Capable, dry, could be considered friendlyโ€ฆunless youโ€™re Garrus.(When your dadโ€™sย โ€˜favorite sonโ€™ seems to be someone who isnโ€™t even his fucking son, and who you think is a total dweeb, youโ€™re not gonna be happy about that, I guess)He takes after his mother more than his father, though has his fatherโ€™s intensity and skill, if only Cousin were more forthcoming w/ praise for that (he does recognize it, though he is very critical of his son and always being hard on him). Their relationship is that of an accomplished child with a father who has incredibly high expectations. That means that their relationship is very rocky.ย This started when he was young, as his path diverted early from Cousinโ€™s hopes and plans for him. Not many Yautja are taught to develop their biotic abilities, and due to there being some contention over whether or not biotics are respectable in the Hunt tradition, the training is more often than not discouraged. But Jagged-Tooth went into training, and instead of becoming a traditional hunter, went down the line of enforcement. Cousin still hasnโ€™t fully recovered from that disappointment.ย Joining the Yautja faction during the reaper war is the first time that Jagged-Tooth has ever had to operate under his fatherโ€™s lead. He tries to be professional about it. Cousin, on the other hand, doesnโ€™t try as hard to do the same.ย Someone described Jagged-Tooth as aย โ€œrare Yautja Bishounenโ€ and you know what? Yes.: crispy-ghee:

โ€œSweet dreams are made of this. Who am I to disagree?โ€œ


Holy shit this fucking super power. The avengers did Quicksilver WRONG.

Holy shit

The brilliant thing about this isnโ€™t just the CGI, itโ€™s the clever little touches of humorโ€“ mussing the boyโ€™s hair, saving the goldfish, drinking the soda can, the moonwalk, lining up the dart with the dartboard. I notice new details every time I see this clip. You can watch this scene with zero context and still fully enjoy it. You donโ€™t need to know who he is or who heโ€™s saving or why. Thereโ€™s a guy who runs real fast and heโ€™s saving people from an explosion, and heโ€™s having a blast with it, and thatโ€™s all you need to know. Itโ€™s entertaining and fully comprehensible even if you know nothing about the movie. Thatโ€™s damn good filmmaking.

I have absolutely ZERO interest in ever watching this movie, and I never have had any. 
But ever since this clip first made it onto tumblr, I have watched it EVERY SINGLE TIME itโ€™s come around, because it is just absolutely fantastic work not only cinematographically but also to show characterization.  Heโ€™s gonna save all these people, but heโ€™s also gonna have a little fun.  Heโ€™s a good person but a mischievous one, who probably has a lot of opinions and who doesnโ€™t take things too seriously. Plus the music choice is just ON POINT.

Teach children that this is not ok

Teach children that thereโ€™s nothing wrong with this

Iโ€™m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

Yellow face yet sheโ€™s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing, hon. โ˜บ๏ธ Cultures should be shared by all means.

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. 
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect. 
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not โ€œyellow faceโ€ they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work. 
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Damn Iโ€™ve never hit reblog so fast in my entire fucking life

Daaaaamn

Pew pew pew

I reblog this every time I see it

I live in Japan and Iโ€™d like to back up this sentiment.ย 
Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear aย โ€˜kimonoโ€™ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl โ€“ a white girl โ€“ in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.
I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.
This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura.ย 
Where do you draw the line for who isย โ€œallowedโ€ to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girlโ€™s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok?ย 
Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If youโ€™re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??
You canโ€™t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules โ€“ based on race โ€“ for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does).ย 
When you tell people they can only experience things โ€˜meant for their raceโ€™, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I canโ€™t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You donโ€™t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.



fucking people got owned is what, fuck i hate how people say you cant do shit when culture should be shared and is shared its how it grows and changes through fucking generations itS HOW YOU LEARN about the world and just fucking, tumblr fucking stupid like 70% of the dam time

this new light

Vintage post, sipping on it like fine wine.



I honestly love Japanese culture. It looks really peaceful and serene ๐Ÿ˜Š



I actually wanna live in Japan after I actually learn Japanese 



Do some research before you open your mouth folks.

Teach children that thereโ€™s nothing wrong with this

Iโ€™m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.

Yellow face yet sheโ€™s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing, hon. โ˜บ๏ธ Cultures should be shared by all means.

I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isnโ€™t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you. 
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect. 
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not โ€œyellow faceโ€ they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work. 
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.

Dang she got shut down.

Damn Iโ€™ve never hit reblog so fast in my entire fucking life

Daaaaamn

Pew pew pew

I reblog this every time I see it

I live in Japan and Iโ€™d like to back up this sentiment.ย 
Recently a museum in Boston came under a lot of fire for allowing visitors to wear aย โ€˜kimonoโ€™ (it was featuring a painting my Monet of a girl โ€“ a white girl โ€“ in a kimono, and the museum had replicas made that guests of ANY RACE could wear to mimic the painting, Pageant-of-the-Masters style). After protests and heated debate, the museum closed the event.
I was living in Japan at the time, and out of all the *actual* Japanese people I asked, not a single one was offended by the event. Rather, they were excited that people half a world away were showing interest in their culture, and were sad that visitors could no longer enjoy the event.
This party, though somewhat silly in application, is an attempt at experiencing and appreciating another culture. The mom who put this together is not an expert on Japan, but she did her best. She got a lot of things right: there are few things Japan loves more than tea, Pocky, and sakura.ย 
Where do you draw the line for who isย โ€œallowedโ€ to learn about Japan? If the girl were of Japanese descent, would that make it ok (even though her citizenship would be the same as the girl from the photo)? If one of the girlโ€™s parents were from Japan, then would it be ok?ย 
Are you only allowed to make pizza if you live in Italy? If youโ€™re an Italian immigrant? How do we decide these things??
You canโ€™t say you want to dismantle racism and then in the next breath make rules โ€“ based on race โ€“ for who people can wear, try, or eat, especially when the intent is obviously to have fun experiencing a culture (as opposed to having fun by making fun of a race or culture, like blackface does).ย 
When you tell people they can only experience things โ€˜meant for their raceโ€™, it totally smacks of segregation to me and I canโ€™t stand it. As someone who (obviously) loves Japan, I say let people learn about it, let people experience it, let people appreciate it. You donโ€™t have to know every single thing about a culture to enjoy it.



fucking people got owned is what, fuck i hate how people say you cant do shit when culture should be shared and is shared its how it grows and changes through fucking generations itS HOW YOU LEARN about the world and just fucking, tumblr fucking stupid like 70% of the dam time

this new light

Vintage post, sipping on it like fine wine.



I honestly love Japanese culture. It looks really peaceful and serene ๐Ÿ˜Š



I actually wanna live in Japan after I actually learn Japanese 



Do some research before you open your mouth folks.

children arenโ€™t dumb. we knew that trophies meant nothing when everyone in the fucking class got one

Also who was giving out those fucking trophies? SPOILER ALERT IT WASNโ€™T US. IT WAS YOU.


Who the fuck got trophies?? I got a piece of paper saying Participation on it with a cheap-ass shiny sticker in the corner!

Sometimes they were ribbons.

Sometimes they were just the gnawing awareness that you could never trust any praise an adult gave you.


^^^^

When I was in 7th grade, the administration at my middle school decided to make a bunch of changes to pep rallies, including changing the spirit award to the grade that showed the most school spirit to three spirit awards SO THAT EACH GRADE COULD HAVE ONE.
We decided in about 2.5 seconds that this was fucking stupid and that it was pointless to have a school-wide spirit contest IF NO ONE WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO WIN. Our entire grade organized ourselves and boycotted the pep rally in protest. We still went to the pep rally, but the entire 7th grade sat quietly in the bleachers and refused to cheer or otherwise participate.
AND IT INFURIATED THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. INFURIATED THEM.
They ended up giving one spirit award to the 8th grade and two spirit awards to the 6th grade. At which point, our entire grade stood up and cheered, and the principal screamed into her microphone that we needed to sit down and stop cheering.
Because we hadnโ€™t broken any school rules, the administration realized they couldnโ€™t punish us, and they changed back to one spirit award and got rid of the other unpopular pep rally changes. But they never forgave us. The principal saved up all of her anger for a year and a half and then called a specialย โ€œpromotion ceremony rehearsalโ€ for our grade right before we graduated from middle school specifically so that she could spend an hour yelling at us about how THIS WAS NOT FOR US, THIS WAS FOR OUR PARENTS AND OUR TEACHERS AND THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE SCHOOL, AND IF WE FUCKED THE CEREMONY UP IN ANY WAY, SO HELP HER, SHE WOULD MAKE OUR LIVES A LIVING HELL.ย 
So, yeah, tell me again about how my generation expects trophies for participating. I dare you.

Someone somewhere has a great post about how all Millennials learned from this โ€œeverybody gets a trophyโ€ culture foisted on us was to distrust conventional feedback methods (if everybody gets one, the system must be wrong and someone who tells me Iโ€™m good at something is probably lying). So the fact that weโ€™re a generation filled with insecure overachievers with a well-documented lack of interest in conventional life markers is partly due to all those stupid participation trophies. 

Ruined a perfectly good kid thatโ€™s what you did. Look at it. Itโ€™s got anxiety
: 21 hrs
 Dear People Older Than Me:
 Shut up about the fucking participation trophies. We didn't ask for them. We
 didn't want them. We didn't cherish them and polish them while thinking
 about what special, gifted children we are. They were annoying clutter on our
 shelves that we had to throw out in secret so we wouldn't hurt YOUR
 feelings. And if we knew back then that you were gonna bring it up every
 time you disagreed with someone under 40 for the rest of fucking time, we
 would have told you where to shove that cheap plastic statue.
 Sincerely,
 People Younger Than Me

Ruined a perfectly good kid thatโ€™s what you did. Look at it. Itโ€™s got anxiety

 Hollywood loves
 a sad, brooding
 love interest.
 Real depression
 Kills relationships.
 That sad character being portrayed as romantic
 would actually be really hard to have an ongoing
 relationship with. Being depressed can cause them
 to pay less attention to their partner, be less
 involved, be more irritable, and have trouble
 enjoying time together. And a failing relationship
 creates a cycle of deeper depression.

 If a character is
 mentally ill, they're
 usually violent.
 That's the opposite of
 how it really is.
 Movies like Se7en, Silence Of The Lambs, and Fight
 Club and shows like Hannibal, Mr. Robot, and Dexter
 perpetuate the stereotype that people with mental
 illnesses are fearsome criminals, if not outright
 violent ones. In fact, people with mental illness are
 much more likely to be victims of violent crime.

These dudes are fucking legit. ย They donโ€™t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. ย And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, theyโ€™ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, โ€œThe kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know theyโ€™re allowed to be brave.โ€

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what itโ€™s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, โ€œAre you afraid?โ€ No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, โ€œWhy not?โ€
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, โ€œBecause my friends are scarier than he is.โ€


Actual tears.. hnngh

Show me more of people like this, world. I give up on humans too easily.

where do i sign up for this,i want to be in this gang



This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chiefโ€™s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boyโ€™s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.
Chiefโ€™s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. โ€œWhen we tell a child they donโ€™t have to be afraid, they believe us,โ€ Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. โ€œWhen we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.โ€( Article)
More about BACA, from their site

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af
They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once youโ€™re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, youโ€™re always one. Even when youโ€™re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, theyโ€™ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life youโ€™ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, thereโ€™s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the childโ€™s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker. 
Whatโ€™s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES Iโ€™M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.

itโ€™s back! I will always reblog BACA

Damn good people.

I know they wouldnโ€™t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them.ย 

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 ยฉ (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.ย 

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

I love these folks! Iโ€™ve reblogged them before but itโ€™s wonderful to see the donation information has been added.ย 


Always reblog. Keep doing what youโ€™re doing y'all.

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in americaโ€ฆ and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They arenโ€™t just in the USA
Theyโ€™re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and Iโ€™m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called aย โ€˜level 1โ€ฒ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and theyโ€™d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.ย 
Iโ€™ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.ย  So I can call them whenever I feel scared.ย 
BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in itโ€™s power to help any child whos been abused.ย 
And it doesnโ€™t end when youโ€™re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before youโ€™re 18? youโ€™re ALWAYS a BACA kid. Iโ€™m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if Iโ€™m okay, and are there for me. Theyโ€™re still trying to find me resources for therapy.ย 
BACA has changed my fucking life.ย 
I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.ย 

Thisโ€ฆ the fact that this exists makes me so damn happy.
: There is a biker gang from Arizona who
 help keep child abuse victims safe
 while the child's abuser is prosecuted,
 including guarding their houses at night
 person is not yet in jail and attending
 court with the child, shielding them so
 they don't have to look at their abuser

These dudes are fucking legit. ย They donโ€™t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back. ย And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, theyโ€™ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, โ€œThe kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know theyโ€™re allowed to be brave.โ€

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what itโ€™s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, โ€œAre you afraid?โ€ No, the boy said.
Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, โ€œWhy not?โ€
The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, โ€œBecause my friends are scarier than he is.โ€


Actual tears.. hnngh

This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chiefโ€™s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boyโ€™s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.
Chiefโ€™s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. โ€œWhen we tell a child they donโ€™t have to be afraid, they believe us,โ€ Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. โ€œWhen we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.โ€( Article)
More about BACA, from their site

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af
They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once youโ€™re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, youโ€™re always one. Even when youโ€™re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, theyโ€™ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life youโ€™ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, thereโ€™s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the childโ€™s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker. 
Whatโ€™s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

NATIVE AMERICAN CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST WHO IS A BIKER AND NAMED HIMSELF CHIEF HELL YES Iโ€™M HERE FOR THAT AND BIKERS BEING BAD ASS TO PROTECT KIDS. HELL YEAH.

itโ€™s back! I will always reblog BACA

Damn good people.

I know they wouldnโ€™t consider themselves such, but these people are freaking heroes and the world is a better place because of them.ย 

Hey folks, it talks about this in the article but its not mentioned in this post, BACA is a 501 ยฉ (3) charity that depends in part on donations to help pay for stuff like gas for their bikes. If you want to help, consider donating.ย 

@copperbadge You like posting about heroes, Sam. Seems like this would be up your alley.

I love these folks! Iโ€™ve reblogged them before but itโ€™s wonderful to see the donation information has been added.ย 


Always reblog. Keep doing what youโ€™re doing y'all.

Guys? This post changed my life. I saw this post. Forever ago. And thought it was only in americaโ€ฆ and wished desperately that they could help me. But then I saw it again, during a bad episode, and checked their site. They arenโ€™t just in the USA
Theyโ€™re in Canada as well and probably other countries. I met and talked with a native guy who runs the place near me. His name is Shaman. I got in, and Iโ€™m considered a BACA child now. Despite being 17, turning 18 when I talked to them. They spent time with me when my abuser was over, they gave me therapy resources. They give you something called aย โ€˜level 1โ€ฒ where they go to your house with as many bikers as they can, i shit you not a solid 20-40 bikers came from even out of province, and met me. I got to choose my biker name and I got a vest with patches on it and my name on it. They all hugged a Teddybear before giving it to me, and told me if I ever felt the BACA bear was running out of love, to give them a call and theyโ€™d refill it for me, and then I got a ride on one of their bikes. Just a day or so ago I went to an annual party with them and they we ate food one of them cooked and had a lot of laughs.ย 
Iโ€™ve never felt as loved as I did being a part of the BACA family. They also gave me dog tags with the names, and phone numbers of my 2 workers.ย  So I can call them whenever I feel scared.ย 
BACA is an absolutely wonderful group that will do everything in itโ€™s power to help any child whos been abused.ย 
And it doesnโ€™t end when youโ€™re 18 either. As long as you get in contact/get your level 1 before youโ€™re 18? youโ€™re ALWAYS a BACA kid. Iโ€™m 18 now and they still invite me to parties, ask me if Iโ€™m okay, and are there for me. Theyโ€™re still trying to find me resources for therapy.ย 
BACA has changed my fucking life.ย 
I hope you all can read this, and reblog it knowing from someone who fucking been with them, that they are absolutely amazing.ย 

Thisโ€ฆ the fact that this exists makes me so damn happy.
