raptorific:
These are, for the sake of space, paraphrased versions of the original arguments that I’ve seen floating around the internet, and some have been reworded to make them clearer. Included is my own commentary on why exactly each is racist, although most of them don’t need much explanation.
I talk about a couple character deaths in here, but I don’t think that really needs spoiler...
What if that man who shot up his daughter's...
anedumacation:
No, seriously.
What if he was black?
What if he wasn’t some polished white dude with a cowboy hat and a job in IT, what if he was a black father taking to the internet to complain about his ungrateful child? And then what if he shot up his daughter’s computer and uploaded that clip to youtube?
Would anyone be praising him for being a model father then?
Or would we talk about...

Trigger Warning: Child abuse

Some people have questioned my using the term “child abuse” to describe Mr. I-shot-the-laptop. I am using the term accurately.
This is the Duluth Model Child Abuse Wheel. The Duluth Model is pretty much the standard model for describing how various forms of domestic violence works, in this instance child abuse. I direct the attention of skeptics...

I don’t care about you or what you think about what I believe either. I was just trying to inform you but I didn’t realize I would be talking to THAT kind of person. Bye,

rune-midgarts replied to your post: Neither of you know my family’s background or anything about the lone wolf band. It bothers me you two jump to conclusions just because something doesn’t fall under what you know about. I made an informative blog that was meant to be positive, yet you guys bash my background instead just because you don’t understand it.
wow this is embarassing
right?

realhipstersofamerica asked: We are enrolled EB but my family digs into their history a lot and believes we stem from the Lone Wolf up in Indian where some of my family lives. I live in NC. There is a difference between was is accepted by law and what my family identifies with. The law isn't always accurate or fair I always thought that was pretty obvious.
realhipstersofamerica asked: My family is enrolled under the EB that is what under the law meant. As in federally recognized nations and tribes.
the best thing about kindle
or just e-reading software in general
is that it’s a bit easier for people to get noticed
i mean, you can write a story and publish it for a dollar
and you can have a semi-inclusive format
because you can read them on computers and phones in addition to just the e-reader devices.
can you imagine what this could do, in theory, for queer/quiltbag folks/people of color/anyone who’s...

My family is recognized under the law as Eastern Band Cherokee Indians of North Carolina but my family and history itself goes deeper than that. They recolonize themselves as Lone Wolf Band Cherokee but they are not officially recognized because none of their ancestors met Dawes Rolls requirements because under the requirements they had to live in Oklahoma...

queer-core replied to your post: the history between china and japan is messed up
no l in japanese language… suddenly white people are supreme?
lol. no clue.
but apparently, for this chinese gal it means something close.
the history between china and japan is messed up
and i think that’s part of why xiu hates japanese people.
she sent me a text “i’m so ronery.”
and then when i asked her about it, she was like
“it’s funny because japanese can’t say Ls…. I can say L’s.”
i didn’t even know that was a thing. there’s like an L supremacy?

things sound good in theory. “for queer poc, by queer poc” and then the artist is a white cis male ally. gotta love that. DA is filled with amazing queer poc artists. it’s just so sad.

So, yesterday in my music survey class, my teacher Mr. Jackson handed out a paper to us. He asked us to also get out a piece of notebook paper. We were told not to turn the paper he had handed out over until he said to. On the side facing up, there was a picture of a boy. Emmett Till was the boy, and his birth and death dates were under the picture. Mr....

white society still worships slaveowners and masterminds of genocide (just look at a 1 dollar bill and a 20 dollar bill), yet considers a man that didn’t harm a single human-being in his entire life to be ‘bad’ or ‘evil’
