AT LEAST THE BRITISH SHOW, WHILE EXPLOITING STEREOTYPES, IS SOMEWHAT GROUNDED IN PRESENT IRISH TRAVELLER CULTURE

GODDAMNED AMERICANS

THERE ARE NO WALKING PEOPLE OR TRAVELLERS IN AMERICA, NO TRAVELLERS HAVE ORIGINALLY LIVED IN AMERICA WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO CULTURE TO UPHOLD. WTF WHYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

What?

There are over two millions Irish Travellers and Roma in the United States. 

This upsets me, Weetz, if you are being serious. I have followed you for a while—and now this confuses me.

There have been Roma/Irish Travellers/Sinte/Kaale in the US as long as there has been a US. They were enslaved and indentured. They were sent out of England as a way to “get rid” of them.

Sometimes, they were turned away and not allowed to disembark at NY or other docks—even though this meant certain death.

Some families fled the war here—and the terrible conditions that remain for them in Europe.

There are many kinds of us here—old immigrant families, new immigrant families. People who speak American Kalderash, or the new Cant, or those who don’t speak it at all. There are Roma who don’t identify and Roma who do…

The show gets only ONE thing right…

There are “gypsies” in America and they’ve been here a fucking awful long time.

Um, and the part where Roma who did manage to get here often intermarried with eastern woodlands ndns, is that something we all hallucinated?

 
 
  • White person: This version of Hercules is pretty inaccurate, see here? Also, hey did you know about the original fairy tales and how fucked up they were?
  • All the other white disney fans: LMAO SO TRUE BUT YOU GOTTA LOVE IT! Also, that is soooo interesting!
  • POC: Yo, this portrayal of a minority culture/woman/princess is so fucking racist. Here's some literature on the subject
  • All the white disney fans: OMG YOU'RE RUINING DISNEY AND SHUT UP IT'S JUST A KIDDY MOVIE WTF WTF WTF.
The unexplainable paradox of Disney fans

While we’re on the subject of shitty companies that perpetuate stereotypes, you might as well check out Rouge Pony. I’m 99% sure it’s where Ella Tebutt (the racist photographer from yesterday) gets her “Indian hats”
You can contact Rouge Pony here
And as always, signal boosts are much appreciated!

Yet another white Swedish antiracist act - the Minister of Culture cuts up an African woman à la Sarah Baartman at the Museum of Modern Art here.

Recommended reading for context: “The Foundations of Whiteness,” which breaks down how Sweden’s (and other European countries’) ostensible Third World solidarity and antiracism actually goes hand in hand with white superiority and white homogeneity[…]

I hate all of their faces.

WHAT THE HOLY FUUUUCK?!!!
white people really are the sickest people on this planet. mind you, France still had Baartman’s genitals and brain on display until 1974, and didn’t return her remains to South Africa for a proper burial until 2002!
wow. barbarism at its finest. and white people wonder why we don’t trust them?? crazy ass sick shit like this!!


Fuck all of this. Fuck everything about this.

But Europeans ain’t racist though??? Racism don’t exist in these countries? Fuck this bitch and every single person in that picture.



And to the people who are like, “But the artist is black too”
You think his ass isn’t getting paid and petted by holding up white supremacy? For making them feel good and happy about their hand in atrocities?
He’s their fucking crayon color magical negro. Look at them faces.
Motherfuckers.

jojobear’s “About Me”:

“I am with the South in life or in death, in victory or in defeat…… I believe the North is about to wage a brutal and unholy war on a people who have done them no wrong, in violation of the Constitution and the fundamental principles of government. They no longer acknowledge that all government derives its validity from the consent of the governed. They are about to invade our peaceful homes, destroy our property, and inaugurate a servile insurrection, murder our men and dishonor our women.” —- Major General Patrick Cleburne, CSAMRA/anti feministI have really traditional values. Feminism has destroyed these values in society. Women do not behave like women anymore. They behave like children. You can’t act like a child and expect to get the same respect that a man gets. 
I believe men should be in charge and they should take back the power they’ve given to women.Remember this: The strongest sign of the decay of a nation is the feminization of men and the masculinization of women. . I hope they will be “happy” when a husband deserts them and they must support their children and themselves alone. (After all, if a woman must be “free” she shouldn’t object to men being free too, should she?) I hope they will feel “fulfilled” when they are given no more courtesies due to their sex, and no kindnesses, but are kicked aside on the subways and buses by men, and jostled out of the way by men on busy sidewalks and in elevators. I hope that no man will extend mercy to them because of obvious pregnancies, but will rudely tell them that that is no excuse to shirk a day’s heavy labor, and they should be like Russian women. I hope they will be proud when some court demands that they support “delicate” husbands for a lifetime, and pay alimony. I hope, when they look in their mirrors, that they will be pleased to see exhausted and embittered faces, and that they will be consoled by their paychecks.”Janet Taylor-cauldwell

Dear Justice Ginsberg, you are amazing for this right hurr:

lightspeedsound:

“It is well documented that conscious and unconscious race bias, even rank discrimination based on race, remain alive in our land, impeding realization of our highest values and ideals. As to public education, data for the years 2000-2001 show that 71.6% of African-American Children and 76.3% of Hispanic children attended a school in which minorities made up a majority of the student population. And schools in predominantly minority communities lag far behind others measured by the educational resources available to them. 

However strong the public’s desire for improved education systems may be, it remains the current reality that many minority students encounter markedly inadequate and unequal educational opportunities….”

—Grutter v. Bollinger, the University of Michigan Law School case that affirmed their (very, very mild) affirmative action policy.

FUCK YEAH JUDICIAL LEADERS WHO GET IT.

I Don’T Understand Why Black People Are Always Like “We Can Say Nigger But You Can’t” Well I Will Say What I Want

Freedom Of Speech

See, people who post this kind of shit crack me up. Because no one is stopping them from saying it. We’re just telling them that violent oppressive words come with consequences. Say it all you like, just be ready for someone to respond in ways that you won’t like. Freedom of speech has never meant freedom from consequences. Also, if you’re going to be a bigot at least be smart enough not to pretend to be black while you have pictures of yourself all over the place.

Dear Tumblr Staff,

While you’re sitting on your collective asses doing every fucking thing in your power to get rid of Missing e and punish the people who use it, THIS IS THE TYPE OF SHIT THAT STAYS UP! Take a minute to pull your heads out of your shit encrusted asses and take a look at this damn blog! It’s fucking dedicated to harassing, belittling, and disrespecting people of color. The owner of this blog takes joy in going to other PoC’s blogs and harassing them.

Are you really going to look the other way? Do the PoC who use this site matter to you? Do you even know or care that we exist? Do you even care about our health and well being? If you want to show us that you care, you could start by taking this asshole’s blog down.

Sincerely,
A PoC Who is sick and motherfucking tired of being treated like a different fucking species.

 
 

Billy Crystal’s blackface at the Oscars

thegoddamazon:

javitmyway:

There is this blog that is the second google link for “billy crystal blackface” and it is this woman going on how blacks should not be offended by the blackface skit at the Oscars done by Billy Crystal. Tumblr, you know what to do. BTW I can’t wait for the white opinions to show up.

http://www.chicagonow.com/when-you-put-it-that-way/2012/02/billy-crystals-blackface-controversy-puhleeeease/ 

Teppi is such a racist & she always always plays the “I choose to see through rose colored glasses” routine when she’s challenged. She’s going to play the victim no matter what anyone says to her.
