tfw news outlets and media are way more outraged by a celebrity in a cecil the lion costume than they ever were/will be about racist halloween costumes fetishizing and sexualizing people of color and their cultures. so many celebrities have done blackface for halloween and news outlets weren’t /this/ upset. i hate everything
I’m going to buy 10 of those costumes.
fuck Cecil
I’m DEAD!! She’s dressed up as a fucking lion 😂😂😂😂 they really don’t care about human beings that aren’t white. This a true exposé
white parents who are raising or have raised a biracial or mixed race child please don’t tell your children (no matter their age!) that if they don’t like the racism that has existed and continues to exist in their country, to leave their country. that is dismissive. silencing. racist. and cruel.
A lot of people think the genocide of the native people occurred hundreds of years ago, they think it’s ancient history. But I think the genocide is still happening. When one of our people dies from diabetes or heart disease or from alcohol, that’s genocide. When one of us dies only knowing a couple words of their ancestral language, that’s genocide. When one of us dies with his hair cut short, that is genocide.

#BuyPens began after Norwegian activist Gissur Simonarson posted a photo of a destitute Syrian man selling pens in the streets of Beirut, Lebanon, while carrying his 4-year-old daughter in his arms. Simonarson was able to find the man, identified as Abdul Halim, and has since set up a wildly successful Indiegogo for them.
