what i wouldn’t do for a scene like this with gordon when he became a vampire

so many parallels between dean and gordon it makes me want to throw myself into a volcano

“Why I, an Asian Man, Fight Anti-Black Racism” by Scot Nakagawa

I’m often asked why I’ve focused so much more on anti-black racism than on Asians over the years. Some suggest I suffer from internalized racism.

That might well be true, since who doesn’t suffer from internalized racism?  I mean, even white people internalize racism. The difference is that white people’s internalized racism is against people of color, and it’s backed up by those who control societal institutions and capital.

But some folk have more on their minds.  They say that focusing on black and white reinforces a false racial binary that marginalizes the experiences of non-black people of color. No argument here. But I also think that trying to mix things up by putting non-black people of color in the middle is a problem because there’s no “middle.”

So there’s most of my answer. I’m sure I do suffer from internalized racism, but I don’t think that racism is defined only in terms of black and white. I also don’t think white supremacy is a simple vertical hierarchy with whites on top, black people on the bottom, and the rest of us in the middle.

So why do I expend so much effort on lifting up the oppression of black people? Because anti-black racism is the fulcrum of white supremacy.

Perhaps you should consider leaving the country. Your ancestors used numbers and ignorance to brainwash white americans into believing multiculturalism works. It’s unfortunate for my race, and this country, that it has had the adverse affect. It is a failure. There are many negroes who believe in racial separatism. I applaud these neanderthals. Instead of bitching about what happens to you, why don’t you leave. Europe doesn’t want you either. Try South America, or back where you came from.

We’re ‘supposed’ to do silly things, multi-task, and be stoic when it comes to our personal pain/hardship but extra-empathetic when it comes to that of other people (even those people we don’t like!). And if those describe you, that’s great! But if they don’t, that’s great too! These things do not describe being a woman!  Yes, I’m a woman. I identify as one! Okay bye. ^Yes. That is all.

Speaking of Voodou

searchingforknowledge:

Tell me why Ballet Black has a centerpiece for their 2012 season called Storyville, choreographed by a British white man named  Christopher Samson who is now head of Scottish Ballet; set in 1920s New Orleans where the innocent aspiring dancer heroine is menaced in her nightmares by her competitors as tormenting voodoo king and queen?

No really, WHY? Especially when the story follows the bullshit innocent girl follows her dreams to seamy side of town and get corrupted by older wiser more experienced? Like really? I am tired of stuff with closer ties to to our West African heritage getting demonized, and I really wish Ballet Black was not perpetuating that White Supremacist tradition. If there is gonna be voodoo in ballet then let it not be portrayed in stereotypical ridiculousness.

WTF.

They were having a conversation. “Excuse me,” I said, addressing the girl: “I’m sorry to interrupt, but is there anyway I can take your photo?” “Why would you want my photo?” she asked. “Because you look beautiful,” I said.

As I examined the photos on my camera, the man started whispering to the girl. She answered him in a loud voice: “I told you! I’m not that kind of girl.” She seemed agitated now. Finally sensing that I had misread the situation, I stepped between them. The man began hurrying down the sidewalk. When the man left, the girl’s demeanor changed completely. She seemed shaken.

I have a son. I’m a mother. I would never degrade myself like that. I just don’t understand why this keeps happening.” “Do you mind if I tell this story?” I asked. “Please,” she said. “Tell it.” Let’s hope this man, and all men, realize the emotional damage they are inflicting on the women they try to buy.

The institution of marriage is not under attack as a result of the President’s words. Marriage was under attack years ago by men who viewed women as property and children as trophies of sexual prowess. Marriage is under attack by low wages, high incarceration, unfair tax policy, unemployment, and lack of education. Marriage is under attack by clergy who proclaim monogamy yet think nothing of stepping outside the bonds of marriage to have multiple affairs with “preaching groupies.
