kemetically-afrolatino: Autism awareness month tip #1: the word retard hurts, always and anytime you use it. when i’m around ppl and they spit the word out i feel like i’ve been smacked, especially from older people! i rarely ever reprimand ppl becuz i get so uncomfortable from the shock that i tend to shut down. i havent had the courage really to ask many ppl not to say it, only those who i’m close with who i know will respect me. i also remember a time that i used the word ignorantly, so i try to be patient. but the word retard is not funny, never was, never will be.

anarcho-queer: How To Be A ‘Reverse-Racist’: An Actual Step by Step List For Oppressing White People by A.D Song and Mia McKenzie White people who are confronted with their white privilege and the white supremacist acts they perpetuate have been known to cry, “You’re being a reverse-racist!” That is completely true: people of color have the power and control to create, perpetuate, and maintain brutal systematic reverse-racism that oppresses white people every day.  As such, we have created this handy list on how to continue this oppression. 1. Enslave their bodies. Ship them from Germany, Sweden, and other exotic countries. Force them to build entire cities, roads, bridges. Force them to plant and harvest all the food everyone eats. Let an entire economic system be built on their backs, with their blood and sweat. Later, deny them access to the system they have been used to build, and accuse them of being extremely lazy. 2. Steal their land. If they were here before you, steal their land. This is essential. Basically, just go in there and take it. If you have to kill some of them to get it…no worries. If you have to kill almost all of them to get it…shit, no worries. After you steal their land, make sure you create laws to keep them from ever returning to it. If they try to return anyway, build fences, and let bands of POC vigilantes patrol the borders with guns. If they somehow get past the borders and into your country, no worries, you can always just deport them. 3. Enslave their minds. From these systems, build a long lasting institution of reverse-racism until all the violence and microaggressions make many white people into suspicious people with a lot of internalized self-hatred, health problems, and mental illnesses. Then deny them access to adequate mental health care. Or, adequate health care of any kind, while you’re at it. ‘Cause, you know, fuck ‘em. 4.  Wipe out and/or appropriate their customs. Since many of their customs are savage and unworthy of preserving, wipe out their traditions of eating mashed potatoes and meatloaf, playing miniature golf, buying khakis at Banana Republic, and sleeping with thousand-count Egyptian cotton sheets. For the customs you think are kinda cool, culturally appropriate from them. Sometimes wear a beret and lederhosen, because Swedish culture is really exotic even though it’s inferior to ours. 5.  Break their espresso machines. With baseball bats or large hammers. Or, you know, just unplug them all. 6.  Call them “honky”. As people of color, we have been rightfully accused of being racist to white people, especially when we call them “honky”. As we all know, calling them “honky” is egregiously offensive and horribly shocking because of this long, violent, reverse-racist history. 7. Just keep being terrible to them. Do everything you can think of to make it so that white people make less money; their children are shot by cops; white women are at higher risk for assault and they are exotified until they no longer seem human; white men are beaten and thrown into jails because they look “suspicious” and “threatening”; they are racially profiled everywhere they go. 8. Make sure most representations of them in the media are negative. They should almost always be portrayed as pasty, stringy-haired, rhythm-less, sexless, uptight, and booooring. Also, there should be very few representations of them and when they’re portrayed at all, they should always only be the comic relief, the silent exotic sex object, the Debbie Downer, or the incompetent sidekick. They are only allowed to be easily forgettable, one-dimensional characters. Sometimes use POC actors in white-face to portray these white people. By presenting this ONE image of them all the time, you will be able to convince the rest of the population that all white people are like this, thus ensuring a widespread belief in their inferiority. 9. Keep telling them how beautiful they are not. White people know they will never be beautiful with their boring sour cream complexions and blonde hair (that was actually caused because of mutations). Plaster people of color on every magazine, show them in every television show and movie, and praise them as the most beautiful. When white people cry at these injustices, bottle their tears and sell them as health creams for people of color. Nothing like a soothing lotion made from the pain of white folks! 10. Go bananas! Force them underground and away from the sun to become even whiter, while you laugh manically like the cruel, bloodthirsty, oppressive person of color you are! Take their thousand-count Egyptian cotton sheets to make POC-supremacist flags and hoods and march through the streets, spreading fear and terror. Every time a white person thinks your behavior is unfair or wrong, tell them that they should stop being so sensitive! We live in a post-reverse-racial society now! Jeez. LOL that was hilarious. I love Satire.

Nas- Street Dreams (Remix)

Let me just start off by saying I am a huge Nas fan. I am one of those fans of an artists that like even their whack shit that nobody likes.

This is one of my favorite songs by Nas. He paints the picture of his dreams so eloquently. Smooth and relaxed flow on a chill ass beat, and at the same time droppin some serious knowledge. The 3 versus on the song are all a separate dream and the premise of the song is he is talking about times when he was a kid hanging with the thugs on the block, so the dreams he has are about the street, hence the name of the song street dreamer. At the end of each verse, the story takes an unexpected turn and it all goes to shit and then you wake up from the dream at the sound of R. Kelly’s chorus.

Great song.

Kemetically Afro-Latino: yourparentsjust asked: Do you know why there is tention between many Haitians and Dominicans ?

kemetically-afrolatino:

there’s a history of tension between DR and Haiti that isn’t so pretty, and the division is more complex than i had originally thought. it’s more than saying that dominicans are anti black. to say this is to ignore the notion of nationalism that took place in the development of the DR.
