The consequences were “life-threatening injuries including a crushed left orbital eye socket, multiple facial fractures, a broken left arm, a concussion, unconsciousness and possible neurological damage.””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/05/21/2042651/california-police-beat-man-nearly-to-death-for-asking-to-read-his-ticket/"&gt;California Police Beat Man Nearly To Death For Asking To Read His Ticket | ThinkProgress&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;would like to point out that this image has the intentions of showcasing the newest additions to the princess line up, so all the older princesses of course aren’t the center of attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;of course, the placement of certain princesses could be better, but also consider this was probably purely unintentional. or in better words, not a conscious thing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oh believe me, it is completely possible for racism to be subconscious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it’s fairly obvious that the racial problems would be ammeliorated if they HAD arranged by sequence. That means Mulan would be in front of Snow White- Rapunzel and Jasmine would be in front of Sleeping Beauty AND Ariel- and Tiana would make her way to the front, past Cinderella and Belle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I mean honestly it’s sort of laughable to look at this and decide that it’s arranged to display newer in the front, and older in the back. It’s actually only relevant to the frontmost two characters and &lt;em&gt;no one&lt;/em&gt; else. So might want to come up with a better reason to justify racialized placement if you are really dead set against calling it out, since it’s harmful whether or not it’s “intentional.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Especially since that’s really a consciousness in and of itself. People who care about this stuff consult others and listen to what they say. Very easily, anyone with an iota of understanding of what usual critiques against the princesses are, would have noticed that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;unintentional my ass. Shouldn’t all of the new ones be front and center, and old guard back right and back left? Don’t look that way..I see mighty white all front and center.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep, &amp; if we’re going by newest that would mean Tiana standing next to Merida or Rapunzel. Instead she’s all the way in the back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I fixed it!&lt;img alt="" src="http://media.tumblr.com/0b0528d4e13852cdb0d14f2a0fcaf011/tumblr_mn6p32KrRf1qbvbzeo1_1280.jpg"/&gt;There. That’s what it would look like if this was actually a case of chronological placement.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These awesome photos are from the &lt;a href="http://www.westonsandsculpture.co.uk/"&gt;2013 Weston Sand Sculpture Festival&lt;/a&gt; on the sandy shores of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England. Each year the festival has a different theme and this year’s theme is Hollywood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Since the festival started in 2006, themes have included Fairy Tales, The Continents of the World, Under the Ocean, Great Britain, and The Jungle. What began with two Dutch sand sculptors building a giant King Kong from 30 tonnes of sand has now turned into a world famous get-together of some of the niftiest hands in sand sculpting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;More than 20 of the world’s greatest sculptors from nine different countries are working away using 4,000 tonnes of sand from the beach.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The festival opened on Good Friday and runs through the end of September.&lt;/p&gt;

As “New Slaves” makes the rounds, I just want the general population to exhibit the awareness of the song’s objective that comes to me and other blacks so naturally. I know about “broke nigga racism” because I’ve been in the Louis Vuitton store in Monaco where motherfuckers told me not to touch anything if I wasn’t going to buy it. I know that they’re “trying to lock niggas up” because when I got my driver’s license in high school, my mother was just as concerned about my ability to not get my ass beat should I get pulled over by cops as she was about me putting on my seatbelt.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://noisey.vice.com/blog/on-listening-to-new-slaves-with-white-people"&gt;On Listening to “New Slaves” with White People | NOISEY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Let’s be clear: This record is explicitly racial. Also: You can’t fully comprehend its impact unless you’re black. There’s a certain unspoken acknowledgement that comes with being black and listening to “New Slaves” with another black person that speaks to this.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ummm…I am so VERY into this right now!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Black people in period or fantasy settings totally makes the stories unreal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also holy shit I love these.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How come I don’t run across this stuff regularly?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of racism and the retroactive erasure of POC in Medieval Europe. Pretty much the same reason you almost never see these works of art either unless you’re already looking for them:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/9e7f96651c182c2e11edad2b60a84b9b/tumblr_inline_mmsmv6BX1m1rpr1t4.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO UNREALISTIC TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/sarcasm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh the last picture is the cutest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a more relevant note, this reminds me of when people are like ‘We can’t have POC in Lord of the Rings (or whatever) because it’s unrealistic.’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OH BUT HOBBITS AND ELVES AND MAGIC RINGS AND WIZARDS ARE FUCKING REAL, RIGHT?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were no people of color in the Lord of the Rings because it was based off of pre-long distance sea travel British Isles and the different races were hobbits and elves and men, etc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were actually men with darker skin tones that would have resembled folks from the Middle East&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Orcs were straight up #000000 black in many cases, though inb4 “THAT’S RACIST CAUSE THEY’RE EVIL”, Orcs were a race created by corrupt men and servants of Morgoth and their #000000 color was to symbolize darkness as in mankind’s fear of the dark and unknown&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I swear to god I’m going to have to blacklist Lord of the Rings because of this bullshit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Think before you speak&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do some fucking research&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jesus&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fucking&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Christ&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GEE IT ONLY TOOK LIKE 6K NOTES BEFORE THIS SHITASS RACISM APOLOGIST SHOWED UP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/7fa985ed56f4307d12eb0b65de55cb9b/tumblr_inline_mn096pyo9P1rpr1t4.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/5a5974dbcade7fc1739eb895842abe2b/tumblr_inline_mn098xDNsR1rpr1t4.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ON LORD OF THE RINGS, NOT REAL LIFE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I KNOW IT’S HARD BUT IF YOU READ IN TO THE HISTORY OF MIDDLE EARTH IT’D BE WAY LESS “RACIST” IN YOUR EYES&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These people are literal children. Anything slightly different from their view and they shit themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ll be honest: black people in European period dress just look strange as fuck to me. It really suggests to me that they just don’t really give a shit about their own culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It really suggests to me you’re a fucking Nazi piece of racist shit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, excuse me for having personal tastes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a black man wants to dress up the same as a white man, let him. Black people always claim they are so secure in their own culture and heritage but then they have to wear clothes from white cultures and heritages to fit it? Yeah, that really suggest to me that they really don’t care about their culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, you don’t clearly don’t know shit about history, completely lack critical thinking skills, and are determined to prove your ignorance and complete lack of a clue to the world? Wow. Okay. Good job.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wow, it’s like….this asshat’s assertions are so far removed from reality I can’t even start to make my brain go through the contortions necessary to address any of that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;like wut&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone who doesn’t know how much of “European” fashion is rooted in the cultures of POC isn’t really worth talking to you know? Let them think the cloth, cuts, &amp; embroidery patterns came from thin air instead of trade if it suits them. They clearly aren’t interested in facts. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://karnythia.tumblr.com/post/50854465074</link><guid>http://karnythia.tumblr.com/post/50854465074</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 17:51:12 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"Three times a week, Real Bronx Tours takes riders — mainly white Europeans and Australians — on a..."</title><description>“&lt;p&gt;Three times a week, Real Bronx Tours takes riders — mainly white Europeans and Australians — on a trip that includes stops at food-pantry lines and a “pickpocket” park.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last week, on the first stop of the $45 tour, guide Lynn Battaglia, from Pittsburgh, pointed out a housing project. She then mocked the Grand Concourse, modeled after a Parisian boulevard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Do you feel like we’re on the Champs-Elysées?” she teased a couple from Paris.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the bus idled across from historic St. Ann’s Episcopalian Church, Battaglia launched into a description of the crime, poverty and violence that plagued the South Bronx during the 1970s recession.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz slammed the guide as “the biggest fool on the planet.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“They should tell people about The Bronx that we all know, and that’s The Bronx that’s had the lowest crime rate since 1963 last year,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“To have foreigners come and gawk at a long line of people who are less fortunate than they are and to make money off of that and to view them as they are some sort of entertainment is pretty disgusting.”&lt;/p&gt;”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/bronx/ghetto_gawking_ffMgfDAaCD76GXNYDrth7L"&gt;Politicians Furious Over Bronx Bus Company’s “Ghetto” Tour&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://supersoygrrrl.tumblr.com/"&gt;supersoygrrrl&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But it’s SOOOOOOOOOOO UNREALISTIC TO SEE BLACK PEOPLE IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/sarcasm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh the last picture is the cutest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a more relevant note, this reminds me of when people are like ‘We can’t have POC in Lord of the Rings (or whatever) because it’s unrealistic.’&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OH BUT HOBBITS AND ELVES AND MAGIC RINGS AND WIZARDS ARE FUCKING REAL, RIGHT?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were no people of color in the Lord of the Rings because it was based off of pre-long distance sea travel British Isles and the different races were hobbits and elves and men, etc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were actually men with darker skin tones that would have resembled folks from the Middle East&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Orcs were straight up #000000 black in many cases, though inb4 “THAT’S RACIST CAUSE THEY’RE EVIL”, Orcs were a race created by corrupt men and servants of Morgoth and their #000000 color was to symbolize darkness as in mankind’s fear of the dark and unknown&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I swear to god I’m going to have to blacklist Lord of the Rings because of this bullshit&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Think before you speak&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do some fucking research&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jesus&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fucking&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Christ&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GEE IT ONLY TOOK LIKE 6K NOTES BEFORE THIS SHITASS RACISM APOLOGIST SHOWED UP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/7fa985ed56f4307d12eb0b65de55cb9b/tumblr_inline_mn096pyo9P1rpr1t4.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/5a5974dbcade7fc1739eb895842abe2b/tumblr_inline_mn098xDNsR1rpr1t4.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ON LORD OF THE RINGS, NOT REAL LIFE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I KNOW IT’S HARD BUT IF YOU READ IN TO THE HISTORY OF MIDDLE EARTH IT’D BE WAY LESS “RACIST” IN YOUR EYES&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These people are literal children. Anything slightly different from their view and they shit themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ll be honest: black people in European period dress just look strange as fuck to me. It really suggests to me that they just don’t really give a shit about their own culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It really suggests to me you’re a fucking Nazi piece of racist shit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, excuse me for having personal tastes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a black man wants to dress up the same as a white man, let him. Black people always claim they are so secure in their own culture and heritage but then they have to wear clothes from white cultures and heritages to fit it? Yeah, that really suggest to me that they really don’t care about their culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, you don’t clearly don’t know shit about history, completely lack critical thinking skills, and are determined to prove your ignorance and complete lack of a clue to the world? Wow. Okay. Good job. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://karnythia.tumblr.com/post/50852817197</link><guid>http://karnythia.tumblr.com/post/50852817197</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 17:30:49 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>thehoneyinthelion:

&lt;p&gt;Ummm…I am so VERY into this right now!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Black people in period or fantasy settings totally makes the stories unreal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also holy shit I love these.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How come I don’t run across this stuff regularly?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of racism and the retroactive erasure of POC in Medieval Europe. Pretty much the same reason you almost never see these works of art either unless you’re already looking for them:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;um yes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;almost all of those pictures are recognisably early modern tho &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i mean yeah there’s an amphora  and a couple of classical-looking statues in the collage one but apart from that they look late-c15th at most like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it’s a gr8 bunch of artworks but it doesn’t look medieval sry&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you know, I’m fucking sick and tired of people thinking I don’t know what I’m talking about. Did you notice that the DATE 1744 is right ON one of the paintings I posted? Or maybe that a few of the “paintings” are actually urns and sculptures that date well before the Medieval era? I swear to fucking god you people&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jean, Duc de Berry, about 1410&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From &lt;a href="http://estherschreuder.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/zwart-verbeeld-de-eerste-kennismaking/"&gt;Esther Schruder’s Essay ‘Propaganda and consolation: ‘blacks’ in court culture in the period 1300-1900′&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The first introduction to black people in the ‘Low Countries’ almost certainly occured between AD 200 and 500 when black Africans came to the region in the service of Roman armies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Research at the University of Newcastle has revealed that black Romans were found in all ranks of the army and that most Roman armies were multi-ethnic. Some Roman emperors, such as Septimius Severus (145-211), were North African in origin. Severus probably marched through the Low Countries with his army in 209 and died in England in 211.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While he may not have been a black African himself, the &lt;em&gt;Historia Augusta&lt;/em&gt; does mention a black Ethiopian who served in his army in England. Objects on which black Romans are depicted have also been found in England, although not in the Netherlands as far as is known.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In later Netherlandish art there are certainly many representations of black Romans and black Roman emperors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following phase in European history, the Middle Ages, is considerably more important in establishing the roles and image of black people at courts. From the eight century onwards there was a real danger that the Moors, or Muslims, who included many blacks amongst their numbers, would conquer and colonise Europe. They proved formidable opponents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In subsequent centuries the Moors held sway over the Iberian peninsula, Sicily and Corsica. Both negative and positive representations of black people appear in northern European art and literature from this period of Moorish threat and conquest. Initially these images were chiefly negative, as in the &lt;em&gt;Spiegel Historiael&lt;/em&gt;by Jacob van Maerlant from circa 1330. ( picture &lt;a href="http://zoom.kb.nl/zoom.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fresolver.kb.nl%2Fresolve%3Furn%3DBYVANCKB%3Amimi_ka20%3A213v_min_a-c" title="http://zoom.kb.nl/zoom.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fresolver.kb.nl%2Fresolve%3Furn%3DBYVANCKB%3Amimi_ka20%3A213v_min_a-c"&gt;Charlemagne &lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Positive representations of black people were inspired by the crusaders’ discovery of Christian Ethiopians living in Jerusalem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When it further emerged that both Ethiopia and Nubia were ruled by Christian kings who were also fighting the Muslims, European crusaders and potentates became increasingly interested in these two lands, believing that they had finally found strong black Christian allies to help them against the Moors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This idea persisted in art. In &lt;em&gt;Les Très Riches Heures du Jean Duc de Berry&lt;/em&gt;(c. 1416) for example, an illumination by the Limburg brothers features three realistic black monks at the foot of the holy cross.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Esther Schreuder&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that is &lt;span&gt;literally the exact point I was making, that maybe one or two of those artworks was actually medieval&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i mean you were talking about “the retroactive erasure of POC in Medieval Europe”- that hardly made it clear that you knew those artworks weren’t medieval&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;your wording was very unclear, and considering the amount of people on this site that can’t distinguish between between medieval and early modern i was hardly going to give you the benefit of the doubt like&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And yet now that you know Girljanitor knows exactly what the fuck they’re talking about you’re still determined to make this post about you and not the actual topic at hand. You should ask yourself why you feel the need to be pedantic and wrong instead of shutting the fuck up. Or apologizing. Or anything useful at all. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://karnythia.tumblr.com/post/50852308549</link><guid>http://karnythia.tumblr.com/post/50852308549</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 17:24:41 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"In one 1962 survey roughly 90 percent of White people believed Black children had an equally fair..."</title><description>“In one 1962 survey roughly 90 percent of White people believed Black children had an equally fair opportunity to get a quality education as White children. Wise recognizes that White Americans’ lack of awareness—and denial about the extent of racial inequality in America—is dated, calling it “borderline delusional”.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Unpacking the Snowflake - Kevin M. Hemer)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1962—  before Civil Rights legislation, when Black people were literally having their houses bombed for moving into white neighborhoods, and Black neighborhoods were being bombed in entirety for having nice houses, white people were literally releasing dogs on Black children (my parents) for walking to school, Black children and teenagers were literally leaving school to protest and then being arrested for demanding to be treated equally, police commissioners were driving through Black neighborhoods in tanks to instill fear in them for wanting to be treated equally, everything was separate with Black people getting the shittier end, they literally had lower education standards for Black schools and Black people &lt;em&gt;were&lt;/em&gt; still getting lynched and the KKK was strong—&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;White people when surveyed said “t&lt;strong&gt;here is equal opportunity&lt;/strong&gt;“… So don’t think it’s weird that 93% or so of white people still think “there is equal opportunity” &lt;em&gt;today. &lt;/em&gt;They’ve literally always been wrong and still are.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This post isn’t about welfare, but it beautifully illustrates a point I’ve been making (or trying to make) since I started this blog:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Privileged people do not understand the realities of people who lack their privilege.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;White people assume PoC have the same education and job opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People with permanent addresses assume homeless people can just fill out an application for McDonalds or Burger King, be hired, and immediately use their paychecks to secure housing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People who don’t receive welfare assume people on welfare are lazy and intentionally having multiple children and not looking for jobs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is why I am always, always asking people if they’ve ever considered that maybe, JUST MAYBE, they don’t have the whole story about their cousin/neighbor/friend’s sister. Because people in privilege tend to ascribe their own circumstances to everyone, even when that’s the exact opposite of reality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A news station was interviewing a man who lived near a dangerous intersection. It is known for an inordinate number of car crashes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HE JUST KIND OF STEPS BACK&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“oh see there you go son”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i figured out this week exactly why i’m such a huge Jay-Z fan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;like, yeah, I’m way into his music and it has a lot of connections to me because of my father introducing me to it and because Jay’s been a consistent figure in music for me since I was six… &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but also, this nigga is literally the American Dream. LITERALLY. I mean, Black success is really the only legitimate American Dream anyway (because of the severe disenfranchisement of Black people that still continues), but this nigga literally went from being a broke kid in the projects in Brooklyn to being a billionaire with a beautiful loving wife, an adorable baby girl and another baby on the way, and one of the few niggas who’s been relevant in mainstream music for pretty much his ENTIRE career. He built a fucking empire. Yo, and he did it in the span of my lifetime SO FAR. like, really, think about that shit. When I was born, that nigga was basically no one. I’m 23 and he’s a fucking billionaire with music, clothing, a record label, a fucking sports agency, brands of liquor, the Brooklyn Nets, the Barclays Center… AND HE HAS A FAMILY! And he did it through rap, which muhfuckas TO THIS DAY, will argue isn’t legitimate and is wrong and noise and confusion and takes no talent, this nigga built an empire off of his pure Blackness like FUCK, what more could you want?! Black excellence, man.&lt;/p&gt;
