After everything that went on my dash and on my blog today on Tumblr?
Maybe.
Why is the result of all PoC have to say about our experiences “Do you hate White people?” to White folks?! Are you fucks THAT damn narcissistic and self-centered that everything and all has to begin, end and center around...

Is It Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
fightingwithfibro:
From Karen Lee Richards, former About.com Guide
It’s often difficult to distinguish between fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Are they unrelated, siblings or twins? Researchers and specialists are still trying to determine the answer to this question. Some experts believe they are two completely separate illnesses; others think they are two...

dank-potion replied to your post: Why is it appropriation if a white person wants to follow the beliefs of another culture, like if a white person wanted to practice shamanism, kemeticism, or Hinduism? I’ve been pondering this for a while, but since I’m white, I’m really not in the best place to form an opinion on the matter. I know...

Whoa, who's see Chronicle?
I walked into the movie with no idea what is was about- just was meeting my boyfriend and his friends at a movie. Aside from the fact that it’s kind of refreshing going into a movie you’re “forced” to sit through (not the correct word, but semantics) that you had no expectations for…the film was surprisingly good. I have a lot of feelings ~

Question for you all: "How do we create alliances...
I’m also addressing the issues related to First Nations / Black rights in North America.
Something I wrote before: ”One thing I have noticed in Canada is that there is hardly an PoC solidarity here, and it really is hard to accurately address. How should we? The First Nations peoples here require entirely separate discussions- as well as say, the Black Loyalists in Nova Scotia....

Judge calls residential schools a form of genocide...
racismfreeontario:
The chairman of Canada’s truth and reconciliation commission says removing more than 100,000 aboriginal children from their homes and placing them in residential schools was an act of genocide.
Justice Murray Sinclair says the United Nations defines genocide to include the removal of children based on race, then placing them with another race to indoctrinate them. He says...

I am not even going to address these insanely atrocious string of tweets, because there is so much ugliness and hate embedded in them that there’s virtually nothing I can say to counteract it.
I will say this, however.
Every time there is bigotry on Tumblr (in the world at large, in fact), we (Black People) are always the first to make notice of it, even if it’s at the hands of...

People who ebook
raani:
Where do you get your books from?
And by “get” I mean download for free.
My go-to site was shut down a couple days ago and I am sad.
I want to know too! I just got a nook and I badly want to read books that I actually want to read on it. (Buying books from Barnes & Noble is problematic for me so yeah.) I also want an ebook version of some books I’ve already bought…

I am so so so glad I moved to Toronto when I did.
Just. I don’t even know what I’d be like if I didn’t. Would I have embraced my heritage and the anti-oppression community otherwise? Maybe. But I don’t know. I really don’t know.
I can tell you that mixing with PoC, even those with xenophobic tendencies (in their defense, all white-areas mess you up) really opened up my uh, culinary tastes?
I cannot imagine going...

puggbutt replied to your post: Dear South Asian Foods,
; - ; my heart hurts that you don’t like lentils but you can send them to me and i will eat them for you. that is super shitty though, in general.
I just don’t like the texture. I know, I’m weird. It might just be one of those things..I only started eating tomatoes…like last year. xD

Dear South Asian Foods,
I am super sorry I didn’t eat you growing up for various reasons that make me really sad.
Although I still do not like lentils, or daal. Or plain rice.
BUT OTHER FOODS I AM SORRY!

The funny thing is, this Indian restaurant specified a “waitress” in the ad, which is actually making me feel more comfortable in applying?
Because like, 99% of the waitstaff at a traditional Indian restaurant is composed of dudes. I have seriously never been served at an Indian restaurant by a woman. Makes me think this place is trying to be a little bougie, trying to be not...

Eh, I think you may be letting a very specific segment of the discussion define your terms for you.
I disagree, man. That specific conflict we’re presumably talking about — liberalism’s problem with race — has become everything for me.
I’ve gone from thinking that liberalism is an essentially...
