@OwningMyTruth: People love to romanticize “compromise”, but how is it a compromise when you’re the one having to sacrifice your humanity in exchange?
There is no “compromising” on issues of racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, classism and other issues which degrade basic human dignity.
can I scream this from a rooftop?

Environmental racism refers to the intentional and unintentional disproportionate imposition of environmental hazards on minorities (x). It is a term that can be used to describe a number of unjust realities faced by minority populations all over the world. In the United States, it is a term that can be used to explain why minorities are almost 80% more likely to live in neighborhoods where industrial pollution poses an extreme threat to human health (x). It explains why 56% of the people living within a 3 mile radius of our nation’s hazardous waste facilities are people of color, and only 30% of the people living outside of those radii are people of color (x). It explains why even in big cities, poor white people still inhale less nitrogen-dioxide (NO2) from car and power plant pollution than affluent people of color (x). Race, it turns out, is a better predictor of the location of hazardous waste facilities than education or income, and is also a better predictor of dangerous exposure to air pollution than income (x)(x).
It is not uncommon in the world of developmental theory to read about the intergenerational transmission of racist ideologies from parent to child (x). What is discussed much less is the intergenerational perpetuation of race-based oppression that occurs when the lives of minority children are affected by environmental racism before they even gain individual autonomy. Because exposure to environmental pollution is an important determinant of infant health, inequities in exposure can lead to persistent group-level differences in health at birth (x), and those differences at birth can affect a child for their entire lifespan.
Besides unequal exposure to air pollution and hazardous waste contamination, minority populations are also more likely to experience adverse birth outcomes as a result of exposure to environmental contaminants such as tobacco smoke, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and pesticides (x). The ramifications of environmental exposure to air pollution, various hazardous wastes, tobacco smoke, PAH, and pesticides in utero vary widely. However, many of the effects, such as asthma, reduced cognitive functioning, autism, and ADHD are lasting. No child deserves to have their life disproportionately affected by exposure to environmental toxins as a result of their race.
U.S., China reach agreement on climate change
Washington Post: The U.S. and China unveiled a plan to limit greenhouse gases on Wednesday, with China committing for the first time to cap carbon emissions and President Obama announces a target to cut U.S. emissions by at least 26 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.

Remember that time when they made up a disease for black ppl when we didnt wanna be stuck as slaves?
Remember when they operated on black women with no anesthesia to get modern gynecological surgical procedures?
Remember when they sterilized poor woc without consent to keep us from ‘creating more undesirables’?
Remember when the government allowed Black men to go untreated with Syphilis even after a cure was discovered?
Remember when minority heavy areas in cities were sprayed with radioactive material to ‘test’ how America could handle a nuclear fallout?
Oh, you dont? Because I do…
Go look it up. Every single one was done by a white supremacist nation called America.
FOR SCIENCE!

Well, the idea I was raised with was that, as aboriginal people, everything that we do is political. When we wake up in the morning—that’s political. The fact that we’re here driving and surviving is political because everything has been done in the past 500 years to stop that from happening. So the politics part of it is automatic. It’s not even a choice. It’s a responsibility that we have to carry as aboriginal artists because it’s just part of our life. It goes back to that holistic way of seeing life. We don’t divide the political and the spiritual. The day to day. Those are all a part of the same thing.

Photo Gallery: Mexico City protest demanding justice for missing students
If you blame Native American communities for their poverty, remember that the entire continent was stolen from them. If you blame Black American communities for their relative poverty, remember that Black Americans were stolen from a continent, trafficked, and enslaved for nearly 300 years. Tell me again about how your family ‘started from nothing’ when they immigrated. Didn’t they start from whiteness? Seems like a pretty good start. The American Dream required dual genocides, but tell me again about fairness and equal opportunity. Tell me about democracy, modeled after the Iroquois Confederacy. Tell me your proud heritage, and I will show you the violence that made it so.

I blinked one day and when I opened my eyes, it was normal to have an American army battling Americans on American streets. No one even calls it a war. But it is.
Don’t forget this crazy shit actually happened.
Don’t forget this shit is STILL happening
^^^^^ They killed two more black boys down there since this happened. It’s still going on.
bolded all of this BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
As a black person this makes me really proud but at the same time it really frustrates me because the news never focus on the positive qualities of blacks which in reality actually out weighs the negatives but the media only focus on the negatives.. why does a 4 year old black boy cussing makes huge media headlines but a 4 year black girl genius does not……that’s what really frustrates me.
lets remember all of the things black women are endless sources of:
life
hope
creative solutions
beauty
love
timelessness
fearless leadership
inspiration
sharp wit
confidence
truth
wisdom
divine spiritual manifestation
style
high standards
undefeated athleticism
political resistance
captivating storytelling
business acumen
unfailing sisterhood
& lets remember 3 things we cannot do:
be held down
be held up
be held back

Powerful portraits of the Liberians who beat Ebola
To help humanize the overwhelming statistics, Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer and senior staff photographer at Getty Images, John Moore, visited an Ebola treatment center of the organization, Doctors Without Borders in Paynesville, Liberia.

New Era of Civil Disobedience Anti-government activists gather during a protest in Hong Kong, China, late Saturday and in the early morning hours of Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014. Pro-democracy protesters kick-started an occupation of central Hong Kong after students clashed with the city’s police, prompting thousands of people to take to the streets in support. China said last month that candidates for the 2017 leadership election must be vetted by a committee, angering pro-democracy campaigners who say the group is packed with business executives and lawmakers who favor Beijing.
