I can’t sleep, so let’s bring this lovely thing back. :3
this is seriously one of my favorite videos ever
There are so many reasons I love this video.
The guys who almost all crack up laughing.
All the people who immediately start singing along.
Especially the rooms full of guys at 1:30 and 2:25 who are SO INTO IT.

Demanding justice out right, no coddling
Demanding justice out right, no coddling-- READ THE CARDBOARD SIGN THO
sure as fuck don't. woop there it is..
Demanding civil rights and just treatment for People of Color has always been about exposing the truth of racial disparities and demanding justice— not about making sure white people’s feelings don’t hurt and white people don’t feel uncomfortable about the reality of racism.
You should feel uncomfortable about the actual racism enough to do something to fix it, not complain about how we tell you about it!
There is a difference in hurting someone’s feelings (“Oh I don’t like your hair”) and treating people like shit because of the color of their skin (“Pardon me while I remind you how shitty of a person you are, how subhuman and less deserving of common fucking courtesy you are because of your white skin”). Is there a system of oppression? Yes. Do we need to continue making progress (because that’s another thing we like to ignore—that progress has been fucking made) toward equality? Yes.
Does the color of anyone’s skin give them the right to be a goddamn douchebag? No. Not white people, not black people, not Native Americans of all tribes, not Japanese nor Chinese nor Korean nor Britsh nor Irish nor African American.
You are not allowed to be a fucking prick to people just because they look different from you, you goddamn hypocrites. And I’m not “tone policing” you by saying that you don’t get to let loose from the rules of common fucking manners just because your skin is a particular hue. Fuck you very much for pretending it does.
A. Wrong and literally no one tells white people they’re subhuman for their race, while people of color are told they’re subhuman and treated as subhuman every day for their race at the expense of white people being treated as superior humans… so don’t pretend you live in a world where white people are degraded and “told they’re subhuman” subliminally or directly especially not in any comparison to the way Brown people are..

Black children grow up literally associating being Black with being bad and ugly
White people when tested shot more unarmed Black subjects than armed and unarmed white subjects
Hate crimes increase after Boston tragedy
Moroccan High School Student is linked to Boston tragedy for being Brown
Bangladeshi man is beaten by people out of racism
NYPD Commissioner wants Black and Latino men to fear him after the police targeted literally 90 percent Black and Latino men in New York and humiliating them by frisking them in public under the assumption that they had weapons. Studies found that white men were the ones who overwhelmingly had weapons while Black and Latino men didn’t
White people blaming and convicting Black men for crimes they never committed and everyone believing them because of racism
Stop and Frisk, ruled unconstitutional was practiced by New York police disproportionately and unfairly affecting 90% Black and Latino men because of racism
Universities throwing racist ‘Fiesta Party’ homogenizing culture with extreme racism
Here are some of the numbers on hate crimes against People of Color and btw, Neo Naziism is increasing!
Every 28 Hours an African American is Extrajudicially Murdered in the U.S.
Black people 3 times more likely to be arrested for Marijuana
Black people receive much harsher sentencing than white people for the same crimes do I need to go on?But yeah, white people’s feelings :*(
I actually changed my mind, I’m adding more
Deaf Black man is stabbed out of racism when his sign language is mistaken for a GANG SIGN
Anti-Islam posters run free on the train to reinforce racism anti-Islamic sentiments and Islamaphobia
Oops! Chicago police raids the wrong house, holds an 11 month old at gunpoint to raise their hand, kills their dog all because of racism and assuming it was a crackhouse! Oopsies
Let’s take it overseas! Black people in England and Wales are 7 times more likely to be stopped by police than white people. Asian people are twice as likely
Here’s a whole collection of people saying racist stereotyping homogenizing disgusting stuff about Natives
People protesting (Idle No More) defending Native people’s humanity are attacked with violence
White kids think it’s totally okay and normal to photograph themselves lynching a Black baby doll like an effigy
Member of the most glorified band in the world Paul McCartney made a racist white supremacist song called ‘No Pakistanis’ and everyone still glorifies him as a good person
Racism in actual political campaign in Massachusetts against a Native runner portraying her name and image in a racist stereotypical inappropriate manner
Indian Sikh school students protest for students who are banned from wearing their turbans in public schools in France

NYPD profiling and targeting LGBT*Q People of Color
Black students (especially boys and children with disabilities) face more and harsher punishments in public schools and are being pushed out of schools into the criminal justice system.
Black male incarceration has jumped 500% from 1986 to 2004
Albany police: SWAT literally uses a poor Black neighborhood to train in because they say it’s ‘realistic’
The audio recording from a young man of color of a NYPD stop and frisking him based solely how he looks calling him a “FUCKING MUTT”
Incarceration rates by ethnicity
All of this fucking cultural appropriation)B. No one cares stop fulfilling the post and valuing white people’s feelings more than people of colors’ lives
C. Yes, telling an oppressed group they’re “NOT ALLOWED TO” talk about oppression the way they want to literally is tone policing lmao.. are you stupid?
No one cares what you’re saying though because you’re wrongD. When have you studied racism or racial disparity, link me to your degree or what books you’ve educated yourself with.
Link me. Show me when you’ve studied racism and how.
Even with every single one of those links, they won’t say shit. They’ll continue their cognitive dissonance and demand that you be nice to whitey because their fee fees are more important than your humanity.
speaking as one of those idiots who’s pulled this tone-policing crap before, I think it’s hugely based in selfishness. Folks… this world is fucked up. Some people suffer because of it more than you [general white-person you] do. It doesn’t make you a bad person but it definitely means you need to acknowledge that and step back when one of those people talks… and STOP TAKING IT PERSONALLY. “But not all white people.." stop there. Literally no one thinks like that and you’re being ridiculous by stepping in and trying to force the conversation to be about you. Can it hurt when you think some one you care about is angry with you? Sure. But remember unless you personally did something they’re reacting to, it’s about THEM and it’s about THEIR experience and life, and it’s not about YOU. I’ve learned this over and over and I’ll probably fuck up again and learn from that too, but that’s the biggest “tone police" lesson I’ve learned so far… that once you realize that this is about THEM and not YOU, it’s kind of easy to step back and realize they have every goddamn right to be as angry OR as polite as they feel like being. Just sit the fuck down and LISTEN.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry has called a special session to crush Sen. Wendy Davis’ filibuster. He says, “The citizens of our state have made crystal clear their priorities for our great state. Texans value life and want to protect women and the unborn."
NO THE FUCK THEY DID NOT.
THEY WERE SCREAMING AND CHEERING FOR YOU TO STOP THIS BULLSHIT.
TH— nope.
nope.
*log off*
HEY. HEY. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. THIS WILL POTENTIALLY MAKE HER 13 HOUR SPEECH, THE EFFORTS OF THE LOVELY LADIES BEFORE HER, AND THE EFFORTS OF THE PEEPS WHO ATTENDED IN SUPPORT UTTERLY USELESS.
GO TELL RICK PERRY NOT TO DO THIS.
HERE’S A SAMPLE ESSAY IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
WE WERE PISSED ENOUGH TO STOP THIS ONCE, WE CAN DO IT AGAIN.
Reblogging for the link to get a hold of Rick Perry and the Sample Essay. This is another way to protest what is being done in Texas.
