Law Students Attempt to Lecture Law Professor About Black Lives Matter, Fails Miserably… 

Sarah from Long Island: How come black girls are still throwing shade at white girls for dating black guys?

and the story appears to be that two men who were having a conversation in Arabic were escorted off a Delta flight for not speaking English.

But, here’s the catch: one of them, the one who recorded the “aftermath” of them being escorted off the plane, is YouTuber Adam Saleh, who is a “YouTube prankster” by profession and is known for doing this kind of thing regularly, i.e. filming pranks on planes for clicks on YouTube. As it so happens, his most recent video was even within the last few days.

this is not their first incident

What I learned from this video:

100 million Native Americans died at the hands of white colonists

Instead of planting crops the colonists spent their days digging random holes in the ground looking for gold. They started starving and dug up Indian corpses to eat. They took Indian prisoners and forced them to teach the colonists how to farm

Native Americans had massive cities with tens of thousands of well constructed houses, intricate water canals and large merchant areas.

The Native Americans used soaps, deodorants and breath sweeteners while colonists never bathed or even took of their clothes

There was a delousing policy with the mantra Nits create Lice; nits being Native American babies, so their goal was to kill every Indian, including babies 

In the 1700’s 80% of the Federal Budget went towards eradicating the Native American population so they could take their developed farmland

Colonists leaders went town after town killing men women and children under the approval of George Washington

“Pursue Indians to extermination” -Thomas Jefferson

California governor (1849-1851): “extermination must continue to be waged until the Indian becomes extinct”

The main factor which prevented Native American extinction was the fact they were used for slave labor. The most prized Native Americans were young girls who were said to be valued for labor and lust (that one white dude in your ethnic studies class that says he’s 1/36th Cherokee?)

In modern times children were forced into Indian Boarding Schools whose goal was to “Kill the Indian in them”. It was federal policy. They were beaten if they used their native tongue, they were forced to dress and style their hair like whites 

This is also not her mugshot. This is the mugshot of a Tulsa woman who was driving without a license. Lots of websites have replaced this fake mugshot with yet another fake mugshot… I have no clue why this is a thing, but this is what Tatanysha actually looks like:

Here’s a link to a news article about her.

you know… with this rise in interest in east asian culture and “aesthetics” over the past couple of years also comes with a rise in asian cultural appropriation… so for every nonasian out there who would consider themselves a fan of cutesy asian things or stuff like kpop or anime, you guys have an obligation to people of the culture you’re enjoying to be informed and educated about their struggles. it’s not right to love and consume cultures that’s not your own while ignoring the people who are part of them. read up on appropriation, the fetishisation and infantilisation of east asian women and desexualisation of asian men, whitewashing in media, xenophobia, the erasure of our achievements and the model minority myth. you owe it to us east asians to be educated on topics that concern us if you’re going to continue to consume media and content we make.
