I AM LIVID. A White school official said WHITE kids should get air conditioning over “Latino” kids because they can’t afford air conditioning at home so they should suffer without it at school since they’re used to it and she still has a fucking job!? — “I really don’t care how this comes out, I would say 95% of the students at Las Juntas do not have air conditioning in their homes,“ Elsken said. “So whether that means those students are more acclimated and can handle a little bit more heat than the John Swett students, which I would say 95% of their residents have air conditioning in their homes.” — But now she’s “sorry” that people “twisted her words” and took it as discriminatory instead of “factual” aka sorry you’re offended at me saying racist shit that I believe is true. Man fuck her and that whole entire school board/district for allowing her to stay on. I’m so disgusted. We need to fight for and protect our kids.

Tumblr, Hawai’i needs your support now more than ever.

Mauna Kea, one of our most sacred mountains, is under attack. Since the 70′s, telescopes have been built on its summit, destroying the ecosystem and sacred sites. Right now, there are 13 telescopes, and now, certain people want to build another one. Except this one will be 30 meters (98+ ft.) tall, and costing over $1.4 billion. Because of the mountain’s unstable surface, construction workers for the other telescopes have had to basically blow up certain areas and smooth it out to make it more stable. Mauna Kea is already over 40 feet (12 m) lower than before construction.

Even though many people were arrested after a series of peaceful protests, we are still fighting. Mauna Kea is sacred to our people, and it is not theirs to build on. This land is ancient and sacred, and it does not belong to the United States, or the State of Hawai’i.

So please, help and support our efforts to put an end to the construction by signing this petition - https://www.change.org/p/governor-david-y-ige-stop-tmt-construction-and-arrests-of-mauna-kea-protectors

littleburgerboywonder asked: This really pertaining to cultural appropriation. I don't mean this in a rhetorical way, I'm more just asking for you opinion on the matter. Do you think that things specific to a culture should be only limited to that culture's enjoyment? I don't know why culture has to be divided, I feel like we should be able to experience and enjoy aspects of other cultures without having it be labeled as cultural appropriation. I think the idea that an individual owns all aspects of their culture is strange

can you imagine trying to explain the anti sjw scene on this website to people who’ve never been here

“uhh yeah a lot of conservative people on tumblr like to literally pretend to be disney cartoon villains and earnestly parrot outdated anti-lgbt propaganda. yeah idk why im on this site either”

there’s a lot of nerds from sites like reddit or whateever who get further radicalized into conservatism through a slow process of first learning to accept conservative statemenst as being Just A Joke Get Over It, then learning to accept them as Just My Opinion Get Over It, then transitioning into environments like reddit they learn If You Don’t Have An Actual Argument, Or Evidence, Or Sources, You Should Stop Believing That, and then they transition into a more violently adamant environment like 4chan where it’s everywhere and subtly colours everythhing which at first gives them a feeling of ‘this is wrong’ taht they can’t properly describe because they don’t have Evidence or Sources or Arguments, and also it’s just a Joke Get Over It, so they get desensitized to it, exposed to those arguments to the exclusion of others, many of which deal fairly well with exposing incoherencies in basic normal person liberalism, and so now after this long slow process of internet culture indoctrination and moving up in the ranks they’re ready to go full regressive conservative or libertarian, and come back to more normal sites expecting everyone to fall into line and spreading it like that. they also always know that if they expressed these opinions around normal people (without living in the south) they would be batista bombed. the result is a somewhat normal or liberal nerd casually indoctrinated and bullied with threat of mass trolling or whatever who’s now a mildly aggressive casually abrasive son of a bitch.

anyway they get to tumblr and suck at it but other nerds who are lower in the process of becoming a fully developed son of a bitch regard them as icons to revolve themselves around and so end up in a subculture that casually and regularly includes legitimate nazis because it’s Just Their Opinion/A Joke Get Over It Where Are Your Sources. and tumblr makes no sense to them because it’s literallly the exact opposite of their casual progression into libertarianism/conservatism,  all the arguments are based on a similar casual progression that took for ages but in a completely opposite, incompatible direction and they have no idea how to deal with it so they rope the leftists into the SJW strawman stereotype because all they see are people saying things that are Obviosuly Wrong (”How Can Le Trans Women be BIOLOGICALLY female????”) and didn’t see the casual progression and actual arguments behind it. so they circlejerk it and think they’re smart

i could write a lot more but basically, these are the people on tumblr who think that normal people agree with them 

Man Imprisoned After Filming Eric Garner’s Death, Refusing to Eat, Rat Poison Found in Jail Food

smackedupsidetheheadwithacabbage:

Orta’s situation is dire, there is only so long that a person can go without adequate nutrition. It has now been proven that the food in prison cannot be trusted, not for your average inmate, and especially not for controversial ones. His bail has been set at $16250, and his family cannot afford to pay it. This is truly a life and death situation, so his family has started a fundraiser to help with the legal fees. Unfortunately, however, the campaign has only raised a fraction of its goal. Please consider donating to the fundraiser if you have the means, even if it is only a few dollars.

#IdleNoMore Protect Mauna Kea: Stop Further Development and Stop the University of Hawaii’s Lease Renewal for Mauna Kea’s Public Lands!

VIDEO: ‪#‎TMTshutdown‬ ‪#‎aoleTMT‬ ‪#‎alohaaina‬ cop explains they will arrest those blockading the mountain from TMT construction workers. Well the island’s watershed is at stake, and they’re violating conservation district laws by causing adverse impacts while desecrating a sacred site. We need a thousand people on the mountain today and tomorrow. The workers did not try to come up today. One more day the mountain is safe. Draw the line at 13 telescopes and an 8 acre 18 story building three stories down into the mountain in the most sacred place in Polynesia above Hawaii island’s fresh water supply. They are threatening to arrest protectors of the water supply and Mauna Kea for blocking access for TMT builders. All hands on deck!

NEWS: TMT crews blocked

Construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope ground to a halt Monday as more than 50 protesters formed a roadblock outside the Mauna Kea visitor center.Calling the $1.4 billion project a desecration of the mountain, the activists marched back and forth across the Mauna Kea Access Road, making sure to stay within the crosswalk.About 15 vehicles transporting workers up the mountain were blocked as a result, though the protesters allowed visitors and other telescope operators through.The mood at the protest was upbeat, with contemporary and traditional Hawaiian songs filling the mountain air. More than a dozen police officers looked on but took no action against the demonstration.Protesters, who were mostly Native Hawaiian, said their message was about aloha and not anger toward the workers.“Our stance is not against the science,” said Lanakila Mangauil, 27, of Honokaa. “It’s not against the science. It’s not against the TMT itself. It’s against their choice of place.”The TMT, scheduled to achieve first light in 2024, will be the 13th observatory on the mountain and one of three next-generation telescopes under development. Two others will be built in Chile.Astronomers say the telescope will allow them to peer closer to the start of the universe and answer more of its great mysteries.TMT is expected to create 300 full-time construction jobs and 120 to 140 permanent jobs, but protesters said there already has been too much development on Mauna Kea.Ruth Aloua, 26, of Kailua-Kona said they were standing up for their ancestors and the mountain’s sacred status.“We have an ancestral, a genealogical relationship to this place,” she said. “And that is what we are protecting. We are protecting our kupuna through aloha aina.”

UNARMED BLACK MAN FATALLY SHOT BY VOLUNTEER COP

Eric Harris, who was unarmed, died an hour later after what Tulsa, Oklahoma police officials called a “mistake.” According to several news sources, On April 2nd, the victim had reportedly tried to sell a gun to undercover cops and fled on foot as they attempted to arrest him. A video camera captured him, wearing dark shorts and a t-shirt, running up a sidewalk. Harris was quickly caught and subdued. That’s when a 73-year-old volunteer patrolman, Robert Bates, “allegedly” reached for his Taser, but grabbed “accidentally” grabbed his gun instead. According to Tulsa World, Bates, who has donated thousands of dollars worth of items to the Sheriff’s Office since becoming a reserve deputy in 2008, is a Tulsa insurance company executive. He was working undercover as a member of the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office Violent Crimes Task Force. The World reported that “Bates is classified as an ‘advanced reserve,’ which means he ‘can do anything a full-time deputy can do.’” 

Rather than immediately render aid, the officers held Harris down by his neck as a deputy screamed, “Fuck You! You shouldn’t have f*cking ran!”

As Eric Harris lay mortally wounded, face down on the pavement, he begged for his life. “He shot me!” Harris shouted. “He shot me, man. Oh, my god. I’m losing my breath.” 

“F*ck your breath!” the officer yelled.

Capt. Billy McKelvey said the officers were not aware the suspect had been shot, despite the unmistakable sound of the gunshot noise. Bates “made an inadvertent mistake,” he said.

The New York Daily News reported that no further investigation is planned, unless requested by the sheriff’s office.

#StayWoke

BUT CAN WE GET INTO THE FACT THAT THIS PIECE OF SHIT WAS A FUCKING VOLUNTEER COP! Wow…just wow. Another George Zimmerman.

beatmasterflex asked: What's the point of a space that serves PoC but is hostile towards white people? What good does acting racist tow white people do for anyone? This idea that nobody (specifically black people) can be racist to white individuals is honestly disgusting. If minorities understand what it's like to feel oppressed by racism, why spread that to other people? (this is coming from a concerned black guy)

lol the point is we servce POC. lol What’s the point of hospitals if they won’t give rooms to me, the not sick or injured?111!

Y’all saw the video of the group of white boys that squared up with a group of cops, wrestled with them to the ground and fought them like  they were in high school?

one of them took the officers gun and shot the cop multiple times.

don’t worry. the white boys just got arrested….. only one of six got shot….

dude, I need a link

What? Off to google…

ok y’all here’s the link to the full nine minute brawl outside of the cottonwood Walmart in Arizona..

here is a link to the police chief debriefing the situation to press.

I didn’t catch that one of the guys actually did get shot by the police… but watch the video…. apparently the guys fighting the cops are apart of a christian band called “Matthews 24 now.”

I shit you not… 

Thanks for this fam!

You gotta see this shit! # unbelievable

I’m still blown. We already know if they were black the guns would have been drawn on sight….

We see this shit all the time… the tolerance for white people that get shot from cops. like remember the white guy that was in the city park with a gun and had a stand off with the police?

but niggas get killed for “running stop signs.”
or getting their license.
or standing on the corner.
or shopping at walmart.
or over bus fare

Or for having broken tail lights

Whoa.

look at these WHITE THUGS

To watch later bc I don’t even have to watch this to believe it. That’s the sad part. 😒

corvusspqr asked: So just a point of curiosity. I'm new here I just found this blog(accidentally) and thought why not check it out. I've gone through here for about an hour, and while I agree with most of the points I see here it seems kinda hostile. Why?

MALL OF AMERICA SECURITY CATFISHED BLACK LIVES MATTER ACTIVISTS, DOCUMENTS SHOW
