So hiring a white person with a criminal record is more desirable than hiring a Black person without one? Never would’ve guessed…
this is what we mean when we say ALL white people have white privilege. whether you’re rich, poor, a criminal, uneducated or anything else. a white criminal has a better chance at getting a call back then a black person with no criminal record. shut the fuck up next time you wanna talk to us about privilege.
I’m in Texas, and I drove past a school just now, and on the grass, just outside of the entrance, they had a huge pro-life sign. Just no. No Texas. Bad Texas.

what I really like about this, is that they’ve included Jaden Smith, who is a youth, and he is talking on behalf of us, speaking the truth. But literally all we see in the media about Jaden is that him and Willow are “weird” “quite unusual kids” “and very strange” when really he is just being himself, and still adults are not getting that. “They hear kids all the time, but they don’t really listen” Literally sums up his portrayal in the media, they see him, and the hear him, but they don’t acknowledge him for the creative adolescent he is. They just tell us he is bizarre.
if i can make a request of y'all -
please, don’t delete the captions i or other users have added to images describing them. tumblr is so bad for blind/vi users and you never know when that image might reach someone who is blind/vi. i can’t imagine how frustrating it is to hear the comments on an image but not know what the image is actually of, especially for PSA/signal boost posts. be kind and keep captions intact.
I always hear how patient caregivers and family members of disabled people need to be, but nobody ever told me that disabled people need to be more patient than anyone else. We have to wait politely when we need help with something. We have to wait until it’s convenient for them. We have to be understanding when someone fails to meet our needs. We have to be gracious for everything for fear of our caregivers denying us help if we’re even the slightest bit ungrateful.
Following a growing trend, the city council of Albuquerque, New Mexico has voted six to three to recognize October 12th – typically known to most as “Columbus Day” within the USA– as Indigenous Peoples’ day in a new proclamation. Albuquerque has the highest concentration of Indigenous people in New Mexico.
In the past two months, eight cities got rid of Columbus Day in favor of adopting Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Three of those cities adopted Indigenous Peoples’ Day this week.
These cities are following in the footsteps of Seattle and Minneapolis. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City came close to passing it in September and will try to pass it again on October 13th, the day after the holiday.
City Council Member Rey Garduño wrote and proposed the proclamation, with guidance from local activists. The campaign was initiated last year during an “Abolish Columbus Day” demonstration at City Hall.
Although these changes have been quite recent, the struggle for the recognition of Indigenous Peoples Day has been going on since 1954, when the idea was first proposed in Portland, OR.
The Albuquerque Police Department have a notorious record of harassing and killing oppressed people. Their law enforcement divisions have shot 50 people resulting in 28 fatalities since 2010. In Albuquerque, Indigenous people compose 4.6 of the city’s population, but 13% of its consistently homeless population.
This name change is a fantastic trend that needs to grow fast, but it needs to be followed up by concrete action and legislation. Nationwide (and worldwide – particularly in Latin American countries that have suffered from US-backed coups), Indigenous people suffer from economic inequality, health problems, and human rights abuses. It’s time we celebrate their culture and tradition rather than their oppressors’, and it’s time we give back to those we’ve taken so much from.
