and when people say shit like “lol feminists aren’t fat ugly lesbian man haters”

some feminists are. no, that’s not what feminism is about, but if you’re a feminist you should also know that women are not put on this earth to be pretty, skinny, or to love men in any way. you should not shit on other women to make your social movement more appealing to other people (particularly men)

Had you any idea that Emmett Till’s final words were some of boldest in American history?

Milam: “You still as good as I am?”

Till: “Yeah.”

Milam: “You still ‘had’ white women?”

Till: “Yeah.”

Keep in mind that that’s after two grown men had tortured him for hours. Milam would later say that, following that exchange, he had no choice but to kill the 14-year-old boy:

“Well, what else could we do? He was hopeless. I’m no bully; I never hurt a n*gger in my life. I like n*ggers—in their place—I know how to work ‘em. But I just decided it was time a few people got put on notice. As long as I live and can do anything about it, n*ggers are gonna stay in their place. N*ggers ain’t gonna vote where I live. If they did, they’d control the government. They ain’t gonna go to school with my kids. And when a n*gger gets close to mentioning sex with a white woman, he’s tired o’ livin’. I’m likely to kill him. Me and my folks fought for this country, and we got some rights. I stood there in that shed and listened to that n*gger throw that poison at me, and I just made up my mind. ‘Chicago boy,’ I said, ‘I’m tired of ‘em sending your kind down here to stir up trouble. Goddam you, I’m going to make an example of you—just so everybody can know how me and my folks stand.’”

still less than 60 years ago white folks.

Just 57 years ago. Think long and hard about that. 57 years. That’s not that long.

That’s how privilege sounds.

“I like them, but in their place. I like them, but they’re not as good as me. I like them, but I’ll kill/assault/make life hell for them because I feel it is my right to do so.”

He calls it “poison” - being denied his ubiquitous privilege for even a moment - was venomous to his psyche.

No way in hell that fucked up mentality just evaporated from his generation - we all know, it was instilled far further back - yet that’s the beginning of every “we’re not like that” excuse: that somehow THIS time period was one of great justice and change.

If that mans words don’t make your stomach turn, you just might be a white supremacist/sympathizer. I got chills. I’ve read it before, but god damn, it is so hateful and HIS words are poisonous. Racism is a poison, a disease in society, and it has not been eradicated. I mean, my grandmother was 12 when this happened, and she’s not yet an ‘old woman’.

"Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat."

“Women are afraid of meeting a serial killer. Men are afraid of meeting someone fat.”

-
When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.

It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

I mean, it’s just true.

“Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

That’s it. That’s it right there.

I prefer him darker.

probably photoshop if not shoot that motherfucker…..oh and stop calling your wretched self Jamaican as u ain’t……#noblackpride

bleacher boy smfh

Yea you shitty for changing your whole skin color to be accepted

It’s never that serious.

sometimes niggas is hurt and tired

you couldn’t imagine how serious it is yo

I wouldn’t bleach my skin, but I know where homey is comin from

I considered it when I was younger

life is ruthless if you aren’t light skin

man, I’m not gonna pretend like I didn’t notice that lighter skinned people got preferential treatment over darker skinned people…

at the end of the day, it’s his life, if he’s happier this way then good for him

I’m saying, even if you don’t agree with his actions you can’t pretend like colorism isn’t super real out here
