Will you condemn the kidnapping and torturing of that mentally disabled white kid?
I’m halfway suspecting that you are a troll (forgive me if I am wrong), but you’ve given me an opportunity to comment both on this case and more generally on cases in which white people are the victim and black people/other POC are the aggressor.
What those people did to that man was wrong on a plethora of levels. It was cruel, it was terrible, it was awful, they deserve to be prosecuted for it, and that man deserves the ability, space, and time to recover to the best of his ability. I have no qualms about saying that this situation is sad, that that man is a victim, and that those responsible deserve punishment.
That being said, at this point in time and from my understanding, the perpetrators have been arrested and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I would even go so far as to say that they will be convicted to the fullest extent of the law, both because there is obvious video evidence (though I know that even that isn’t always enough) and because black people are the most criminalized racial group in the US. This isn’t to say that these specific black people should get off scot-free, it’s just to comment on how they are likely to be treated given societal treatment of black people.
But, at the end of the day, it appears that the victim is going to get justice. I can grieve for him, I can empathize with him, but this is not an America in which black people can commit a heinous crime against a white person, and do so with video evidence, and get away with it. I don’t need to concern myself with that aspect of this situation.
In a more general sense, white individuals can be victimized by people of color. But when that happens, I am highly confident that those responsible will be held accountable and the victim will have justice. So beyond outrage at another person’s victimization, there’s nothing really to comment on. The fact that I do not have that same confidence when the roles are reversed is an indictment on the state of the American Criminal Justice System today.

can 2017 be the year of hearies being Good Allies to d/Deaf people?
how to be a good ally to d/Deaf people
recognize that audism (the oppression of & discrimination against deaf people) is still a very real issue. it can include things like believing that deaf people are “stupid” or “broken” and that deaf people need to be “fixed” (aka made hearing), as well a general lack of awareness about deaf issues, how deaf people communicate, or even that deaf people exist
recognize the consequences of audism, like deaf children being forced to speak and not being allowed to learn ASL, deaf people being denied jobs (yep, its illegal. still happens), and even deadly police brutality
reblog/signal boost posts about d/Deaf issues as well as positive posts about d/Deaf accomplishments, information about d/Deaf people, etc
if you can: learn a little bit of your local sign language! even just fingerspelling and knowing a few basic signs. i especially encourage anyone who works in customer service/retail to learn a little ASL if at all possible! (this is a big thing so i def don’t fault anyone for not doing it, but if you have the time/ability it’s a pretty cool thing to do)
stop using phrases like “falls on deaf ears”, “deaf to their pleas”, anything that frames deafness in a negative way
recognize that there are different levels of hearing loss!! hearing people generally categorize hearing as: “not being able to hear perfectly but still hearing” = hard of hearing; “not hearing anything” = deaf; but for deaf people, anyone with any degree of hearing loss is considered deaf! if someone tells you they’re deaf but you know they can talk/sing/play instruments/listen to music, believe them
theres a lot more honestly but i dont wanna let this get too long!! anyone can feel free to message me about any of this/if u wanna hear more. i’d really appreciate if people (esp. hearing people) could reblog this
can hearies also stop thinking ASL is important for how “cute” it is or how it fits their aesthetic or “lol swears!!!!” this language in particular (in america, I don’t know about other countries deaf history) is steeped in our culture and it’s insulting that hearies try to strip it from our hands and make it into their jokes
Quick question from a non-d/Deaf person who wants to make sure it has things straight: Why the term “d/Deaf”? is the capitalization distinctive? Is “deaf” different from “Deaf”? If so, how?
“deaf”/“little d” refers to anyone with the medical condition of deafness (i.e. hearing loss of any severity larger than around 10-20dB, depending on age)
“Deaf”/“big D” refers to (deaf) people who are actively involved in Deaf culture. I can’t link because I’m on mobile, but if you just google “deaf culture” you get a bunch of results! I recommend the Lifeprint and Gallaudet pages on it.
So, not all deaf people are Deaf but all Deaf people are deaf (i.e: everyone who’s part of Deaf Culture is deaf, but not all deaf people consider themselves part of Deaf Culture).
The d/D is used when discussing topics that pertain to all d/Deaf people so that those who are part of Deaf culture are recognized as such but those who aren’t are still recognized as being affected.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Joseph Fasano, from “Heraclitean,” in Columbia Journal (via a-pair-of-ragged-claws)
Not everybody in jail is a murderer or a child molester or rapist. People forget that and use that irrationality to demonize and dehumanize people in jail. This helps them not feel sympathy for anything that may happen to prisoners and this helps deny them basic human rights (medical attention, safety, clean food and water). People matter, even the ones in prison. - Ty
There are wild flowers in my desert which take up to twenty years to bloom. The seeds sleep like geodes beneath hot feldspar sand until a flash flood bolts the arroyo, lifting them in its copper current, opens them with memory— they remember what their god whispered into their ribs: Wake up and ache for your life.

[CN: abuse, police violence] Today, when I saw this video which has gone viral these past few days as a “feel-good” cop story, I finally made the connection. The video is of a black woman being pulled over by police. There is terror on her face as the officer walks up to her car. His gun is at her eye level. But the officer doesn’t reach for the gun—instead, he reaches for two ice cream cones to hand over to her and her passenger. Her terror gives way to the almost tearful relief that she is not going to come to harm at the hands of these officers. At least not today. This fear is what they want. Watching this video, I was suddenly 19 again, trying not to cry while my boyfriend toyed with a sword and told me that I was lucky he’d never hurt me. And I was also the scared mother I was a few months ago, flooded with relief that the cop who followed my baby and I had let us get to the store alive. Watching this video I understood what these “feel-good” video and picture campaigns put on by police departments really are—abuse. They are designed to remind us that they are in charge, and that they are capable of taking our lives in an instant—but if we are good and they are feeling benevolent, they won’t. These videos, combined with the countless videos of black men and women and children shot dead by cops, serve to remind us that we should both fear and love them if we want to survive. And if we don’t survive, we have nobody to blame but ourselves—see how capable of not killing us they can be?
