Hilary Clinton: “The Sight of a Black Man in a Hoodie is Scary” Even to “Open-Minded Whites”
You know what scares me, as a PoC?
An old white woman who thinks she should control the world.
*cough cough*
I’m not Clinton’s biggest fan and I’m not planning to vote for her in the primary, but…
“And our problem is not all kooks and klanssmen. It’s also the cruel joke
that goes unchallenged. It’s the offhand comment about not wanting
“Those people” in the neighborhood. Let’s be honest. For a lot of
well-meaning open-minded white people, the sight of a young black man in
a hoodie still evokes a twinge of fear. And news reports about poverty
and crime and discrimination evoke sympathy, even empathy. But too
rarely do they spur us to action or prompt us to question our own
assumptions and privilege. We can’t hide from any of these hard truths
about race and justice in America. We have to name them and own them and
then change them.“
She’s clearly talking about the prevalence of racism and how it’s more ubiquitous in the white community than we think, and how it’ll come up in more subtle ways as opposed to just blatant hate from white power groups.
If you mention just the one sentence about hoodies it does look like she’s talking about how scary black people are…. and of course, many news sources are opting to do just that. This includes the progressive ones, which is disappointing to see.
Remember “what difference, at this point, does it make?” Of course you do, ‘cause conservatives are STILL parroting this out-of-context quote left and right. They love doing shit like this. Regardless of your feelings on Clinton, we really shouldn’t be helping them.

Seems to be a thing people are trying now. Ask me questions here! I’ll go back to just using Tumblr’s system if it doesn’t work out.

blam!
Of all my years...
blam!
Of all my years knowing of Josh L I’ve never seen him draw anything with proper anatomy or any traditional stuff. It’s a cute style but damn has it gotten messy through the years.
here ivan
a cleaned up, anatomically accurate picture
just for you~~~
hahaha, oh god I was looking through my old posts looking for something to rerun tonight and I came across this old thing.
I was pretty rude to GeneralIvan three years ago. Maybe it’s a bit late, but I am sorry about that!
I get sensitive sometimes when people call my work messy these days. It was the biggest problem with my art for a while so I’ve worked pretty hard to fix it. But this particular art was one of my quick sketches and Ivan was not aware of that.
I can’t defend the anatomy at all, though. I mean, where on earth is Parasol’s torso. Seriously, where. Her waist is coming straight out of her boobs. Did I really draw that and think it was ok?
For my shade, I traced over a pictured of Arnold just to make absolutely sure the anatomy was perfect. You can probably find the picture if you goggle him.
Ivan seems to have since deleted his Tumblr and I hope he’s doin’ okay wherever he is!

Inking a big panel for YSIAP4 p6 and toning the full page on the stream today. Shouldn’t take more than a few hours. Probably will stop there since I haven’t been feeling too well lately. I just haven’t been takin’ care of myself. Oh well.

"Primer for those who still don’t understand in the wake of the arrest of, incarceration of, and..."
Primer for those who still don’t understand in the wake of the arrest of, incarceration of, and likely murder of Sandra Bland in TX:
1. Asking a cop why they are stopping you/ticketing you is your right. They do not have the right to arrest you for asking, beat you for asking or in any way mistreat you for asking that question.
2. You have the right to say whatever you wish to a cop in response to being stopped. ANYTHING at all, so long as it does not constitute a threat of harm. You can cuss a cop, yell at a cop, and call a cop a fascist pig or a racist if you like. I do not recommend it, you shouldn’t do it (because sadly cops don’t care about the Constitution in far too many cases, and thus, might beat or kill you), and it’s not very nice I suppose (even when deserved), but it is NOT illegal to do so.
3. Refusing to put out a cigarette when asked by a cop is not a criminal offense either. The cop has no lawful right to arrest you for smoking or “disobeying” an order to stop smoking. Only if you are already being arrested for an actual crime and putting out the cigarette is necessary to affect the arrest, can such a request be considered lawful and can failure to do so constitute “resisting arrest.” But refusing to put the cigarette out, in and of itself, does not constitute a crime.
4. If you do any of the above, the cop still does not have the right to beat you or arrest you. And if you end up beaten or killed, it is not your fault. It is entirely and only the cop’s fault. They should be arrested, tried, convicted and jailed. Your “arrogance” or “attitude” is not grounds for brutality, ever.
5. None of the above is made any less true by the fact that “cops have a hard job and put their lives on the line.” That is entirely irrelevant and has no bearing on the rights of the people or the limitations on police power.
6. Any cop who disagrees with the previous points is not qualified to be a cop and should be summarily dismissed from their jobs. Any cop who can’t handle being challenged as to their authority, or who in any way disregards the rights of the people is not qualified to be a cop and should be summarily dismissed from their jobs.
7. Anyone at all who disagrees with these previous points has contempt for the Constitution and would clearly be more comfortable in a police state. Yet these are the same people who think “government regulation” of industry is tyranny, or that the IRS is equivalent to the Nazi SS or that Obamacare is totalitarianism. So they don’t mind actual authoritarian actions (so long as they are worked out mostly on the bodies of black folks and/or the poor), but God forbid government try and ensure health care, or collect taxes from the rich or try and limit pollution. THEN they scream about big brother and how awful the state is…

Loggers aren’t allowed to fell anyone who disrespects them. Fisherpeople can’t feed strangers to sharks. Flight engineers can’t douse people in jet fuel when they’re upset. Mining machine operators aren’t allowed to go industrial saw on people who cut them off in traffic, and garbage workers aren’t allowed to just kill people, even though they could neatly dispose of the body.
Those are all more dangerous jobs in the US than being a police patrol officer, but they’re not allowed to use their job to kill people.
