Stuff I think is Cool

Hi, I've read you saying that 'skinny white girls' should stop twerking... Why do you say this? Also, what about skinny girls that are not white? I suppose that since they 'don't have the equipment' (as in not having a big ass I think you're trying to say?), they neither should twerk? Or what about skinny white latin american girls? They can't twerk too, even when it's a common movement in some latin american dances?

these skinny white girls need to knock it off with the twerking

honey i get that you want to be included but you don’t know what you’re doing and you don’t have the equiptment

you’re embarrassing everybody

What do you think of the current concept of "white privilege" or really any of them (white, male, etc.) I've been really overwhelmed with this topic on Tumblr and don't know what to think anymore.

I would bet anything this plan was the brainchild of White People.

Further, though, the TOMS campaign — like the million shirts — misses the fundamental point that not having a pair of shoes (or a shirt, christmas toy, etc.) is not a problem about not having shoes. It’s a problem of poverty. Shoelessness, such as it is, is a symptom of a much bigger and more complex problem. And while donating a pair of shoes helps shoelessness, it does not help poverty.

Things like jobs help poverty. Jobs making things like shoes, for example. But TOMS doesn’t make its shoes in Africa, it makes them in China where it’s presumably cheaper to make two pairs of shoes and give one away than it is to get people in a needier community to make one pair of shoes.

The result of this setup, as Zizek explains most succinctly, is that on a big-picture level, TOMS (and other buy-my-product-and-donate companies) are busy building the exploitative global structure that produces economic inequality, while on the other hand pretending that supporting them actually does something to fix it.

It doesn’t. It just gives people shoes.

The 7 Worst International Aid Ideas

But all that matters is the “precious white egos” (rogelio’s wonderful phrase) of the the idiotic first-worlders doing the ‘saving’. It’s not actually about the people they’re claiming to save. Those people are just props in their morality play. It’s about the big M E.

white people are at their most racist when they think they are saying something that is proving how non-racist they are

100% chance the person who made this was white.

people keep telling me that the reason those statues have such small dicks is because in ancient greek society a small penis was the ideal

that is some peak white people shit

the privilege of being anti-gun. this is what i was thinking about yesterday. like, i’m a brown person living in South Central LA. the police do not care about me or my family. if i need them they will either show up three days later, try to get US in trouble, or not come at all. if something happens i need to protect myself because no one else will. and a whole bunch of white liberals don’t see this because they don’t have to worry about how shitty the police are, and then disguise their ignorance as some kind of circle jerk sense of moral superiority
