You wanna hear a joke? The American justice system.
“As
you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every
day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t
you forget it-whenever a white man does that to a black man, no
matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes
from, that white man is trash.”
— Atticus Finch, To Kill A Mockingbird.
The Grand Jury has declined to charge Darren Wilson for the death of Mike Brown.
Darren Wilson shot an unarmed 18-year-old SIX TIMES, KILLING HIM, and is not being punished for it.
If this doesn't disgust, horrify and terrify you, please, unfollow me right now.

White people get so angry at the phrase, “You
cannot be rac.ist towards white
people.”
I will never understand why.
Why are you so angry that you are being treated as actual human beings? You are not reduced to caricatures, but portrayed as characters. You are treated fairly, judged not by your skin tone, but by the ways that you carry yourselves, by your actions.
Why do you want to experience rac.ism so badly? It is not fun to be mocked, dehumanized, attacked, killed, incarcerated simply for daring to exist. It is not fun to know nothing of your history or family because it was torn apart, whether through distance or death. It is not fun to hear, at every turn, comments reminding you of your lesser status as humans.
Do you really want to turn on the tv, open a magazine, watch a movie, play a video game, and not see yourself? Or, even better, to only see yourself as a criminal, as a drunk, a mocking stereotype, or as someone to be killed off? Or would you rather see fleshed out, well-written characters with lives and personalities and feelings? I know which I’d rather pick.
If I were a white person, the phrase, “You cannot be rac.ist towards white people,” would be the best thing I could ever hear.

the people who are highest up have
the lowest self esteem
the prettiest people do the most ugliest things
