I can’t wait until I can adopt some white children. I’ll name them Rashaad and Shanice. I can’t wait to take them out in public and relish in the questioning stares. I’ll be sure to tell everyone how I was able to rescue them from the perils of bland food and a lack of washrags. I’ll do their hair in traditional mullets. Ugh. It’ll be great.

POC who live here in America:
I realize you’re hurt by the ignorant words of “white people” who don’t know what they’re talking about, and I’m sorry.
But I have a question for you. In this “land of the free”…aren’t you free? What are their words doing to you, unless you LET them affect you? I thought this was a free country, where people were allowed to speak their minds, and other people were allowed not to listen.
But maybe I was wrong. Maybe the words of people are so strong that it’s impossible to stand up against them. Which is sad, and basically means our country is full of weak people.
No matter what race or gender I am, I would never let people’s words affect me. Don’t you realize they’re just words? Words are not physical, they will not capture and torture you. They won’t keep you from getting a job (and if your race is keeping you from getting a job, that’s the owners problem, not every white person), and they won’t kill you.
Unless you let them.
So take pride in who you are and stop listening to stupid people. It’s that easy. Once you let go of worrying about what other people think, your life will be a hell of a lot easier. And a lot less stressful.
Empower yourself. Empower your own life.“once you let go of ‘worrying what people think and say’, then magically all this will disappear! “
“RACISM CAN’T AFFECT YOU UNLESS YOU LET IT!!!”
white people this is why nobody trusts you

American pacifist James Zwerg of the Freedom Riders immediately after being beaten by an angry mob upon arrival in Montgomery, Alabama in 1960. Zwerg was the first off the bus upon its arrival in the terminal and faced the blunt of the crowd’s violence. He would have died that day had it not been for an anonymous black male stepping in and saving his life by deflecting the mob’s attention onto himself.
is he a hero for meeting the basic requirements of human decency? why don’t we know the name of the ma who stepped in to take his beating so he could live? did that man live?

BELIZE CITY – The penalty for the near-total destruction of one of the biggest Mayan pyramids in Belize — which the government called “unforgivable” and left archaeologists speechless — may leave conservationists speechless: just $5,000.
Police have launched an investigation and anyone found responsible could face five to 10 years in imprison, a fine of about $5,000 or both.
To avoid the fee, fingers are frantically pointing in the Caribbean country, with the owner of De’ Mar’s Stone Co., the road-building company that has been blamed for the incident, saying the landowner gave him permission to extract the material. Read more.
