“Poverty is not self inflicted
Poverty is circumstance, an accident of birth
Poverty and moral standards are not related
Poverty is helplessness
Poverty has been accepted.”
My English Literature teacher.This is the sweetest picture <3
Yeah, and obviously that needed to be under the picture of two black children right?? Because when white people talk about poverty that’s what comes to their mind right??
Why dont you all just fuck off , STOP PROJECTING YOUR ISSUES ON US AND LEAVE US ALONE!! Bunch of little shits.
i-sauntered-vaguely-downwards:
the phrase “female-bodied” is a crock of shit.
there is nothing inherently female or male about anyone’s body.
my body is my body. my body is not female. if it is female, it is because i say it is female. tits and a…
Bad allies avoid “fighting” with the privilege deniers in their group, and instead send private messages to the marginalized saying “FWIW, I agree with you.”
Marginalized people really could not care less. You aren’t helping the situation. You are just pulling a passive move to make yourself feel like you did something while in no way contributing something useful to the situation.
Oh and, FWIW? It’s worth NOTHING.
When bad things happen to you, you get the most validation, the most outrage, and the most justice.
kinky, poly, “non-gender-expression-conforming” and ace problems are like
whatever
i feel embarrassed for ever having cared to be quite honest
Granted not all of these deserve of the same level of…
^Agree with this except for a couple points:
1.) There are a good number of asians who are xenophobic and racist. It’s just less evident because they have MUCH less exposure to other races, and even in America, they tend to avoid it.
2.) There are people being killed for being queer, too. That said, the people doing the killing are white, so yeah.
But that’s just my two cents. Ultimately, having a pity party for people who hate me for the way I was born isn’t my thing.
1) Trust me. I know this already. Quite well. No where was I disagreeing with that.
2) I’m not sure I ever said that I didn’t care about queer issues (being queer isn’t a microissue, it is a macroissue with a bodycount and hence subject to my care). Just white queer issues. White queers, including white trans people, are at the LOWEST risk for pretty much every bad thing that happens to queer people as a group. 75% of queer violence is against PoC. Most of the homeless? PoC. Do you think that no PoC ever commit suicide for having problems with being gay? Of course they do. But you only see the two white boy suicides on the news.
I literally do not have time to give a fuck about anything without a body count. Just. DO NOT HAVE THE TIME. My brain, whether rightfully or wrongfully, is too busy worrying about life-ending violence to have the time to give a shit about the occasional jab here and there that these…
