Reblog if you have been encouraged to learn more about the rights of others through discussions on Cultural Appropriation via Tumblr.

Tumblr has been absolutely crucial in helping me recognize and rectify all sorts of ugly bigotry I didn’t know I had.

Tumblr has actually taught me a lot about a lot of things I didn’t know when it comes to sociology, and -isms in our society. I’ve learned a lot more about how people feel about appropriation, about what it is and isn’t, and how it affects lots of different people.

Honestly? In a lot of ways, Tumblr has done more for my education than my undergrad did.

it made me a better person and a better artist

I’ve learned a lot from Tumblr, a portion of which has to do with cultural appropriation. Y’all have taught me so much that I would never have known otherwise. I appreciate it.

[tw: rape, abuse] Hugo Schwyzer is not your feminist hero: updated

friendlyangryfeminist:

friendlyangryfeminist:

He is a rapist. And when men “accidentally” rape women he says that the survivor is partly to blame for not making it clear enough when she wasn’t consenting. 

He has slept with his students (coercion!!!!) and his punishment was to write the rules about student-teacher conduct. He still has access to young women. 

He tried to murder his ex-girlfriend. 

He thinks it’s dangerous to be a feminist all the time, comparing it to being in a cold body of water.

He’s a racist. 

He fetishizes lesbians.

He is a goyish fuck-head who appropriates Kabbalah.

TRIGGER WARNING: Racism, gross cissexism, transphobia. All on Neil Gaiman’s part.

Click here for racism.

Click here for cissexism.

You have no idea how crushed I am right now.

Neil Gaiman’s been my writing idol ever since I got Fragile Things for Christmas one year. Since then, I’ve read Coraline, American Gods, Anansi Boys, The Graveyard Book, etc., devoured it all, loved it. My style has pretty much been imitating his and Stephen King’s for a couple of years.

Imagine my surprise when he turns out to be racist, cissexist, transphobic, AND apologist. Over Laci fucking Green of all fucking people.

You shitting me? Are you fucking shitting me? I’ve been buying your books, thinking that The Sandman must be such a great comic and that I should read it any day now. Thank God I didn’t or the shock might have been too much.

Why you? Of all people, why did it have to be you? I thought you were better than that.

Fuck you, Neil Gaiman.

I thought the cissexism link was going to be, like, subtle. You know, like he makes a mistake that most clueless cis people make once or twice in their lives in front of someone that’s trans* — but no, holy shit, he starts out bad, it gets worse and fucking worse, and it just kicks you right in the gut with how fucking terrible it is.

The cissexism link didn’t work for me. But I’m not sure I want to read it, honestly.

It works fine for me? It’s a bunch of pages from his comics in which trans women are murdered and then he leaves off.

tierracita: TW: Black face, racism Immediate action needed! Shirley Q Liquor, a black face drag queen, is coming to Portland, Oregon.  The Eagle bar, a local gay bar, is bringing Chuck Knipp who is better known as Shirley Q. Liquor. Chuck Knipp has openly deflected criticism and has gone as far as stating that he considers himself a facet in creating positive conversations around race and that is not denigrating black women but celebrating them. Chuck Knipp is vile and his drag person is directly tied to a history of black face, minstrels shows, and a long American history of anti-black racism.  Folks of color, queer folks of color, white queers, and white folks are all coming together to demand that Eagle bar no longer bring Chuck Knipp to Portland. Many people across the country have come together to protest this drag act. Folks have called in but the owners are refusing to cancel this show and community anecdotes have shown that the owners are racist, transphobic, desire controversy, and operate out of white male privilege.  This event is not an isolated instance and can not be de-contextualized from Portland politics and history. Recently there was this issue that prompted a long discussion around Portland racism but beyond that incident and this event there is a much larger context needed of Portland’s history of black politics and marginalization. It can not go unnoticed that both these incidents are taking place in a historically black neighborhood known as part of and near the “RedlIne district” that create exclusionary practices in regards to African Americans in Portland. These events are direct assault on people of color by white business gentrifying black neighborhoods. The irony is palatable. Action is needed. Portland’s community of colors should not have to experience these daily aggression (both micro and macro) that clearly show no regard for folks of color in Portland.  Please call The Eagle directly at (503) 283-9734 or email The Eagle at michaelstalley@yahoo.com and ask them to cancel this event.

hidden-agender:

Tyler Oakley did something racist (yet again) and said diversity sucks.

alsailorpedazitos:

White People;

I’m not here to chastise you guys. I am here to ask honest questions based on what Tyler Oakley and many of you throughout my lifetime have asked:

image

Why is a flyer representing people who are not white seen as politically correct?

Why do you think organizations are scheming to include people of color, and why do you think this is done to a greater degree than organizations scheming to use sex appeal, to appeal to young people, or to appeal to emotion?

Is there a possible way to arrange a group of people who are not all white on some cover without it looking insincere? Or is it that as soon as a person of color is brought into the picture, it looks staged?

Finally, when given a picture of a group of people who are not all white on some propaganda, when is it going to be sincere to you? How do we make it look sincere?

Because, guess what? The organization who wrote those birth control facts, they didn’t just write them for white people. They wrote them for everybody. I know what you’re thinking, “That’s obvious! So why would they go out of their way to include people of color?”

Well, first of all, why is it “normal” to put a white person on the cover of something, then “out of the way” to include any other kind of person? Why is it that as soon as you see someone who isn’t white on a cover, it rings alarms for you?

Second, do you understand why it seems obvious to you who the message is for? Because any time there’s propaganda, the message is always represented using people who look like you. White people dominate informational, commercial, and media spaces in general. You think it’s obvious that this message is for everyone because usually, whenever an organization puts a message out there, it’s geared toward you. You just assume that since it represents you, it represents everyone like you.

That’s untrue.

You are white, so you’ve had the benefit of seeing people who look like you on commercials and pamphlets your whole life. But guess what? The same is not true for people of color. We rarely see people who look like us, and up until just a few decades ago we never saw people in the media who looked like us. This means that whenever an organization puts only white people on their cover, they are appealing to only white people.

We do not identify with white people. We are not white. So how could a cover featuring only white people possibly be inviting to anyone who isn’t white?

Answer: it isn’t.

So organizations, catching wind to this, finally start putting non-white people on their covers. “Hey, non-white people! We want you to practice safe sex, too!” or “Hey, non-white people! We want you to know that this space won’t be overwhelmingly white and uncomfortable for you!”

I was apart of my city’s gay youth group for two years. For two years, I was the only non-white youth to attend. Do you know how

dismissive

to LGBT people of color it is that whenever propoganda featuring gay people is used (JC Penney’s gay ads), whenever a group is called together, whenever a fucking pamphlet is put out, the people used to garner attention are overwhelmingly white?

Where’s the non-white gay couples in JC Penney’s ads? Where’s the pictures of non-white people getting married in Washington? All the while shows like Noah’s Arc, a show featuring gay people of color as protagonists, are tokenized, “That PC show featuring all those black dudes.”

Why the fuck is a show featuring an all black cast so unnatural to you? Why is that more unnatural to you than the myriad of shows that feature all white casts that have existed for years and are very fucking popular?

Do you know that there’s rampant racism in the gay community? White gay men who make it known that they “Don’t date Asians, or Black boys, because—I don’t know, white guys are just cuter.” Do you know that even gay people of color consider white guys to be cuter because of media representation?

I need a white person to explain to me what is going through their heads when they label any kind of representation of PoC as “PC diversity.” Because what you see as insincere I see as society finally,

finally,

fucking finally considering that I exist and am worth being represented.

lol what. i love that excuse that because they have “a little bit” of something in them, it gives them an excuse to dress as racist caricatures.telling people to delete their tumblr and “fuck you” are not proper validations to excuse their behavoir.

Some assholes will make up any old excuse to justify their behavior, sadly.

Hell, I’m part Chinese, but you wouldn’t see me dressing up as a goddamn “Sexy dragon lady” or a box of fucking takeout. And being part Cherokee, I know better than to even bother with this “Sexy Indian princess” bullshit. People who really embrace and respect their heritage don’t fucking shit all over it.

And yeah, that’s just typical hipster BS. Like having someone tell them to delete their Tumblr is the worst thing that could happen to them.

This is a reply to your stupid comment on my picture:

justinalovesmakeup-tattoos

I don’t understand why you think I’m “making fun” of native american culture because I dressed up as one for Halloween. If anything, it’s a damn compliment- learn how to take one! You need to get the stick out of your ass & not be so fucking sensitive. I actually have a little bit of native american in me, so why would I make fun of it? That’s stupid. Your an ignorant being if you can jump to those kinds of assumptions. So you might as well delete this tumblr because all your doing is hating on something that isn’t even an issue. Get your facts straight. FUCK YOU & goodbye(:

ETA: This is what all the fucking drama is about. And here’s a screencap of it, just in case it gets deleted.

undeadbishoujo:

so they are coming out with collectors Jem dolls with updated designs that are supposedly truer to the cartoon

so far we’ve got Jem, Jerrica, and Synergy who all look pretty decent

But can we fucking talk about this Rio redesign which the writer on Yahoo thought was a “vast improvement over the original” (after which they say he’s not as “colorful” as the old doll)

for reference this is what the fuck Rio looks like in the cartoon:

The original doll had this coloring, btw. So apparently being “true to the cartoon” only means for the white characters and the purple skinned AI, and for Rio it means staying true to the animation errors.

Remember Yahoo said this was an “improvement”.

ಠnಠ So much fucking hate

fracturedrefuge: daledeforest: Fuckthapolice! Brilliant. Also, remember that it’s not only Native American “costumes” that are racist! I was thinking about printing out cards saying why a costume is racist, and giving those out to all the “Mystic Geisha” “Indian princesses” that I come across. Or just making jokes about how terribly racist some costumes are just a ways away from the person wearing it. Though the spraypaint might come in handy for the more stubborn ones!
