It’s a problem that so many white people recognize indigenous peoples only as primitive people from the past rather than what we are: students, dancers, ball players, doctors, etc. I wonder how they would feel to constantly have their identity denied or ignored like hey if you’re white why aren’t you wearing medieval robes, living in a castle, while your maid tosses your feces out the window?
Wingate, a 70-year-old retired bus driver and Air Force veteran, was walking to Seattle’s Central District to purchase a newspaper, using a golf club as a cane for the

Brad Pitt Heads For Africa He’s in negotiations for Angelina Jolie’s poaching film
Some people have to wait months to even try to get a script to Brad Pitt, who is offered most of the high profile projects. And then there’s Angelina Jolie, who happens to be married to him and can probably just chuck a screenplay at him across the breakfast table and see if he wants to star in it. He’s now in negotiations for her fourth film as a director, Africa.
Eric Roth has written the script, based on the true story of paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey and his battle with the ivory poachers who threatened the African elephant population in the 1980s.
“I’ve felt a deep connection to Africa and its culture for much of my life, and was taken with Eric’s beautiful script about a man drawn into the violent conflict with elephant poachers who emerged with a deeper understanding of man’s footprint and a profound sense of responsibility for the world around him,” Jolie has previously said.
Pitt has already worked with Jolie on By The Sea, her third directorial effort, in which they co-star as a couple trying to figure out their marriage in a picturesque French seaside town in the 1970s. That one should hit screens this year. Africa boasts Unbroken cinematographer Roger Deakins and may start rolling its cameras this summer.

Which culture did they feel a connection to? There are hundreds of cultures on the African continent. So a movie called “Africa” is about white people saving elephants?
Racism is many things. It is a system of domination and exploitation based on the idea of race. Racism has been around a long time and is alive and well today. It is perhaps the single most influential social force shaping American life. It is woven into the economic, political, and social fabric of our country. Here’s a simple way to define racism: prejudice plus power.

And this is why when you see a post empowering and uplifting black women, do not invade it with “don’t you mean all women.” No, because this is not the reality of “all women.”
Also: this isn’t brand new, these results were first found by a study done in 1947 with dolls by Kenneth B. and Mamie P. Clark. Little has changed.
