Post-race America
Racism only exists in the eyes of the ignorant. Don’t people realize that Ghandi Mohandas put an end to rascism in America in the early part of the 18th century? Obviously not since professors keep qouting him. I don’t mean to sound holier than thou, but sometimes i think I have a better handle on the cultural constructions of the modern world.
Uh HUH.

KENTUCKY CHURCH VOTES TO BAN INTERRACIAL COUPLES FROM BECOMING MEMBERS →
thinkprogress.org
A small church in Pike County, Kentucky voted not to accept interracial couples as members or allow them to take part in some worship activities, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. Melvin Thompson, minister at Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church, explained that the resolution “is not intended to judge the salvation of anyone, but is intended to promote greater unity among the church body and the community we serve.” Thompson issued the ban after a white woman and her black fiance, a native of Zimbabwe, performed at the church in August.
What is this fuckery? You want to promote the unity of your community by excluding people? And basing that exclusion on race?
Religion: providing a great excuse to promote your own ridiculous agenda as the will of god since man first invented gods.
when someone who is white says that a movement isn't white-centric
um
because I’m sure that YOU’RE the be-all-end-all voice of reason for shit when it comes to telling POC who is and isn’t the center of a movement.
Oh look. Whiteness.

The Student Loan 5K TeamFuck you.
FUCK YOU.
You’re making our increasing, crippling debt crisis into a SPORT? A RACE? A RACE to be SLIGHTLY LESS in debt? Not even a race. A fucking popularity contest? A contest to see whose family is biggest and able to give money away?
$5000 is barely enough for one semester at UNT, and UNT is fucking cheap compared to other schools.
And what about your students who can’t run? Sucks to be them I guess? Oh, they should just pay the registration fee so that UNT can claim it made the most money, so they’ll RECEIVE money, and then LOAN that money out to students? Not give. Loan.
That makes sense.
Give us money so then we can loan you money that you’ll have to give us back!
I am so fucking furious and insulted right now.
Also:
and we know you may be wondering how youll pay off all that debt. The answer is simple just put on your running shoes!
This sentence is riddled with grammatical errors. Insult to injury, I swear.
Not white privilege…but I go here. This shit is fucking stupid.

5 year old Cuffed and Stuffed →
ejw.thisweekinblackness.com
So treating kids like animals seems to be what’s hot in the streets now a days. A story recently surfaced of a 5 year old who was handcuffed and taken in for psychiatric evaluation.So obviously this kid must have stabbed someone right? Right?
Gray says Michael was agitated when the officer entered the room, and the whole meeting ended with Michael arrested and cuffed, with zip ties on his hands and his feet.
“I was led to believe that Michael saw a police officer and attacked a police officer on sight,” said Gray, adding that that’s not what happened. She knows because she ultimately obtained a copy of the police report.
In it, the officer, Lt. Frank Gordo, says he placed his hand on Michael’s and, “the boy pushed my hand away in a batting motion, pushed papers off the table, and kicked me in the right knee.” When Michael wouldn’t calm down, Gordo cuffed Michael’s hands and feet with zip ties and took the boy to the Stockton Kaiser Psychiatric Hospital in the back of a squad car.
So apparently–a grown police officer got kicked in the knee by a 5 year old and decided it was time to handcuff the kid. I mean, what other choice would he have really? This kid is a MENACE. Being all 5 years old and weighing like a hot 40-50 pounds. This kid needed to be taken down. Good thing the police was there to help out. Don’t they make cages for 5 year olds? He should have totally put this kid in a cage. You know. Just for safety purposes.
Handcuffing a kid because they kicked you? Genius. I’m gonna need all parents to get on that. Totally rational reaction.
