Cop Worship & the Criminalization of Blackness. In this hierarchy of violence a cop’s life matters infinitely more than a black person’s life, and Americans… are expected to demonstrate sympathy with the lives of police officers. By contrast, Americans are encouraged to scrutinize and question the humanity of black and brown people murdered by police before questioning the lethal force used in otherwise non-lethal situations. This social reality illustrates how power is coordinated and wielded unilaterally, directed against the masses by a specialized minority within the population. Police repression is framed in the mainstream media in such a way that when police commit violence against black and brown communities, it appears to white Americans as if they simply are protecting white communities from black criminality. This is the active dissemination of white supremacy. From it police accrue social capital and power within a conception of black bodies that perpetuates their dehumanization and murder. Completing the cycle, racist white Americans, after participating in the process of dehumanizing black people slain by police, then offer their sympathy, material support, and privilege to killer cops. …Ultimately, cops are praised because they enforce violence on behalf of the moneyed class. They protect existing power, wealth, and the right to exploit for profit, while simultaneously appearing to exist primarily for public safety. Straddling this paradoxical position, cops are worshiped because they are explicitly and implicitly attached to the rewards of privilege under capitalism.

Russell Brand discusses Iggy Azalea and the appropriation of black culture (watch the full interview here)
“Hasn’t that always been the way with mainstream culture? Whether it’s the blues or rock n’ roll [or hip hop]. The re-appropriation of black culture into the mainstream? That’s always been the way. It becomes sanitized. It loses its original message without ever conceding any rights to non-white people. Take the best bits. Keep the fruit. And abandon the people.”
“The idea that black culture is constantly being ransacked is a powerful narrative, a powerful story that began with slavery, one of the great abominations of human history. That injury hasn’t been healed. The civil rights struggle is only 50 years ago and still racism is a prevalent issue in this country and all over the world.”
Okay but imagine a punk Aphrodite, all tight, black leather jeans, white jack Daniels shirt and leather jacket with pastel pink hair flowing down her back.
Activist Artemis running a shelter for abused women, contacting her sister Athena for support with legal battles.
Hera running a boarding school for young girls, teaching them everything from economics to ancient literature.
Demeter running a success agriculture company with a daughter who ran away to be with a tattooed, young Hades
Athena picks fights on the playground from age seven Soon all the boys worship her At thirteen she learns to fire a gun And calls her sister’s longbow “ineffective” She destroys the competition in debates and wrestling matches alike, Learns to march but finds she’d much rather command, Climbs to the top of the military tree, Stepping on anyone who gets in her way Artemis is all scraped knees and bruised shins A fierce little girl who does what she wants A teenager with grass stains on her dresses and rage in her heart She dislikes the company of men At age fifteen she kisses a girl and decides she likes it almost as much as shooting At eighteen she knows that one girl will never be enough Aphrodite has always been pretty and she knows it She grew up fast but chocolate and flowers and favours were her rewards She keeps a notebook by her bed Hot pink like the marks she leaves on boys necks Filled with phone numbers, her own personal directory They’d do anything for her and that’s just how she likes it

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.

Hello! Recently, I was surprised by the amount of people who come into our askbox asking about how to start a QPP with someone. Usually, the answer is “I don’t know! It depends on the person.” But this might help those of you that are shy and are not sure where to start. It can also serve as an ice-breaker.
I tried to be as broad as possible on a tiny sheet on paper. Feel free to edit it, make changes, etc. :) I have a higher-res PNG version if you need it. Just contact me! (chekhovandowl)

Exposing fckh8 (because feminists are spreading this piece of bullshit like the plague)
fckh8 do not support feminism.
Like homosexuality and so on, fckh8 does not donate a single penny to organisations they claim to support.
fckh8 are for profit.
For profit - not charitable, they are a tshirt company making money off causes and organisations that do need donations. The company admits it here
fckh8 actively denied asexuality and pansexuality. And claimed acephobia does not exist because people apparently cannot be oppressed under the law for not having sex.
because Fckh8’s customer service is absolute shite.
feel free to read ALL these reviews from people who have recieved wrong orders or simply not recieved it at all.
Because they encouraged kids to swear to forward an agenda they do not actively support - this is an advertising scam, to get you to pay $20 for a tshirt with an obnoxious and cliche phrase on them, when you could buy one from an actual charitable organisation who need the money to forward issues like homophobia, racism, ableism, and feminism.
And most importantly, charities fckh8 claims to support, do not want fckh8’s donations. Not that fckh8 were actually planning to donate.
Stop supporting fckh8, they are simply making a profit off serious causes.
They made money off the LGBT movement
They made money off Ferguson
and now, they’re making money off feminism.
And the sheer number of you buying shirts are actively enabling them to continue making money off the oppression of groups of people.
