This looks like a great film:

In this part of town, even the white kids that masquerade as being especially conscious, and “understanding”…wanting of equality…utter phrases like “nigga” freely, neglecting to realize that less no more than 50 years ago, in this same damn town they were uttering the same words, and LYNCHING and CASTRATING my people.

can someone point me in the direction of writing on this? Because none of the food deserts I’ve ever been in had anything like what this seems to be implying. Not to mention the fact that grocery stores supply more than just things that can be gardened, like milk, cheese, meat, etc.

TW: talks on genocide, racism, privilege denial, Australians who don’t know history
Namely those who are quite upset by the PM losing her shoe and have now resorted to engaging in hateful rhetoric directed at the Australian Indigenous communities.

the way I type on tumblr: assntitties lololol rkejwhlkjdhlwkjerhwer I can't even with all these feels
the way I write for class: Under this assumption, it is safe to dictate in a clear and particularly concise way that the author not only felt the need to illustrate the background surrounding the mortifying, yet tragic, action that pushes forward the engaging plot, but also the background of the reader's very own heart.

my family is talking about jeremy lin. apparently the toronto game sold out? and i’m thinking, that’s great. but doesn’t it say a lot on how so many unrepresented demographics are craving to see themselves on tv in some way?

Kids of Color and the New American Whitewashing
“Because I so rarely saw black characters in books when I was a child, I learned to relate to protagonists who didn’t look like me — but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t identify with their struggles, triumphs, etc. It did mean, however, that I started to erase aspects of myself when I read — I couldn’t consciously be black and read a...
