i don't like the way she looks blonde. very draining, imo. idk if it's because her eyeliner or if her hair looks greasy but i just don't like this photo

let's cancel Lana for supporting racist companies but really she should stop buying from them. actually there's a lot of places we all should stop supporting socially and financially.

yes and no. there are way more peaceful protests than "violent" ones. media obviously doesn't want to show that side because we have to paint a picture of cops being benevolent. and when they do show peaceful protests, it's the citizens and the cops talking to each other in a friendly way or a cop joining the protest....anything to make cops look good. but the violent ones are as severe as they seem. however, a lot of evidence shows that the police are the instigators when it comes to starting chaos during the protests. there are multiple different videos that show police purposely smashing store windows and antagonizing crowds. pushing down PEACEFUL protesters, tear gassing people just for the hell of it, and driving their cars into crowds. two days ago, Trump went to stand in front of St. John's Church in D.C. (the church he visited before his inauguration and the only time he has visited since then) for a photo-op with a Bible in his hand. people were peacefully protesting outside around the White House and Trump called the National Guard to tear gas and brutalize the protesters so that he could walk to the church. he's made many messages over the past week that have strong fascist tones to them. America was built on white supremacy and slavery and it can not exist without these things. if we talk about revolution, we must talk about actually dismantling America. some people think it can be saved and that we just need reformation. I disagree. this Administration and most of Congress is overtly indifferent to its citizens in whom they should be protecting and representing. the blatant abuse of power is proof that our system has failed. Trump can just claim something is a lie and then not much is done about it. they lie to us and they always have. it isn't the craziest idea in the world that the US will become a fascist state in the next couple of years/decades.

what did it say, it got deleted

it's not about her not being able to criticize black people, it's that calling out Kanye was an easy move. it's very similar to when people call Trump "a cheeto." it's surface-level and makes it seem like you have no understanding of real issues. people were already hating on Kanye and Trump. it's easy to call someone else out when everybody else is doing it. calling out someone who thinks we should abolish the 13th Amendment is easy. Addressing why Kanye wanted to change the language of the 13th Amendment and prison reform is a bit more difficult to address though. She didn't do anything

Below is information along with sources that I find educational and helpful. I advise you to really think about it all. Not just for a moment. Let it occupy your mind for weeks and months. Let it make you restless for change. Let it motivate you to change. Change is not something that just floats by, it is something we have to actively pursue. Every action needs to be anti-racist. Think about what you are going to do and ask yourself, "Will this further the Black Lives Matter movement's message?" Everything we do needs to strongly oppose oppression. We need to flood our social interactions with anti-oppression rhetoric. We need to step back from ourselves and amplify black people's voices. Watching George Floyd being murdered has been the most disgusting, vile crime I have ever seen. It is not just a crime according to law. It should be a crime according to humanity. I am doing a lot of reflecting as a white-passing person and it has been incredibly uncomfortable to think about all this. It will be uncomfortable for all of us. Please do not let that discomfort make you shy away from facing everything. We need to continue. We cannot turn on backs on this because we are scared. Black people live in fear every day, and have for centuries in America. We need to learn about our pasts, learn about what led us to the place we are in now. We must accept that we can never stop learning. We can never be done with reading books by black authors. We can never stop elevating black voices. We need to incorporate this into our everyday lives. Use empathy. Have you ever felt unheard? Have you ever felt dehumanized? Have you ever felt discriminated against? Oppressed? Shamed just for being who you are? Maybe you haven't been the one on the receiving end of racism, but you can still try to relate using your own experiences and empathy. I am a writer. I am still learning how to express myself without taking away from black voices. I still feel fear at the thought of me having to listen without saying anything. It scares me. It makes me uncomfortable. A lot of us, including me, need to learn how to take our white fragility and put it aside. Now, I will be quoting information that may be entirely or just a bit relevant that I think can be helpful in our everyday lives. Some sources are not direct, some may be quotes without a known author. I can only give you the most information I have about them: "Being a good person is a choice. Don't let people fool you into believing that truly good people never have bad thoughts, are never tempted by the easier path, by the low road, never mess up or act out selfishly. Never believe a person can be good without making a conscious effort. Goodness is not an inherent trait, it is a choice." found on @lovelyquoting on instagram "When you debate a person about something that affects them more than it affects you, remember that it will take a much greater emotional toll on them than on you. For you it may feel like an academic exercise. For them, it feels like revealing their pain only to have you dismiss their experience and sometimes their humanity. The fact that you might remain more calm under these circumstances is a consequence of your privilege, not increased objectivity on your part. Stay humble." By Dr. Alexandra H. Solomon "The problem is that white people see racism as conscious hate, when racism is bigger than that. Racism is a complex system of social and political levers and pulleys set up generations ago to continue working on the behalf of whites at other people’s expense, whether whites know/like it or not. Racism is an insidious cultural disease. It is so insidious that it doesn’t care if you are a white person who likes black people; it’s still going to find a way to infect how you deal with people who don’t look like you. Yes, racism looks like hate, but hate is just one manifestation. Privilege is another. Access is another. Ignorance is another. Apathy is another. And so on. So while I agree with people who say no one is born racist, it remains a powerful system that we’re immediately born into. It’s like being born into air: you take it in as soon as you breathe. It’s not a cold that you can get over. There is no anti-racist certification class. It’s a set of socioeconomic traps and cultural values that are fired up every time we interact with the world. It is a thing you have to keep scooping out of the boat of your life to keep from drowning in it. I know it’s hard work, but it’s the price you pay for owning everything.” By Scott Woods "Allies: Now is the time to be in the service of Black liberation. Limit your response to what is of real, tangible help to us. Give money, call your representatives, protect Black people at protests, elevate our work and voices. Don't make us swim through your tears while we fight." By Ijeoma Oluo "The oppressors in power are the ones that get to decide what constitutes violence... rather than condemning oppressed people for how they choose to resist, focus on the real violence. PROPERTY CAN BE REPLACED. BLACK LIVES CANNOT." by Muchacha Fanzine I will add more posts as time goes on with additional quotes and information.

honestly, a big fuck you to all those who don't understand how hurtful this is to people with mental illness. being mentally ill is not a choice. being a cop is. cops are choosing to abuse their power and abuse people. what a gross comparison. i've dealt with cops before in situations where i was mentally unstable and it's scary. most aren't trained to deal with us. i had a thing where if i felt scared i wasn't allowed to move or else i would die. it wasn't true, but that's what my mind and body made me believe. if i had frozen up and refused to move or speak, which has happened countless times before, the situation may have not ended well.

that tweet is disgusting and really hurtful. this is the end of my support for her
-
dude. who cares if we're offending her, she could have put people's lives in danger. we have no obligation to adore her every action, she's a human, not a fucking saint. was it nice when she completely invalidated all the black women who rightfully spoke out about the way they felt about her typewritten letters?
-
yeah calling her a "thing" is just demeaning
-
the money goes to grassroots organizations. it does help. like i said in an earlier post a meme page with 34.9 k followers raised over $10k for a grassroots movement. she has so much more reach, what's so hard about posting a few links to organizations that are by and for black people? it doesn't matter if it's performative, it matters that the resources are going to the right place. there does need to be a lot more work done than that and it is systemic so i think i hear what you're saying. she can post about educational sources that we can learn from. she can post businesses we can buy from. actually, she should be centering and amplifying black voices right now.
-
it's about getting people to donate money. idgaf about what Lana thinks about anymore, but a lot of fans do and they'll break out their wallets if Miss Thing endorses it. It doesn't matter if they're doing it for the right reasons, it's just about money resources getting to the people who need it and who are actually fighting for justice right now
-
did anyone get a screenshot of Jaboukie's tweet about Lana? he deleted it and i kinda wanted to save it
