So I found out about this store (ran by an older white woman, which is important because I’m a young Black woman, and young Black entrepreneurs are always especially stolen from) because she accidentally followed my personal assistants Instagram. 

They’re blatantly copying my stuff (mine on the left Foxie Cosmetics, theirs copies on the right Shine Happy Life) and it doesn’t even stop with what’s shown here. They copy everything from trying to match up ingredients, descriptions and the actual name of the products. I’ve had this stuff from the beginning and theirs are new. It’s clear that she sits on my site copying my things from my store and others. 

DO NOT SUPPORT THEFT. It’s one thing to be inspired and create something new, but it’s another to straight up copy, and with no shame ESPECIALLY as a small business. Especially as a white woman stealing from, and trying to ride the success of a Black woman. I make everything and do everything myself and I work hard on these vegan recipes and the research, and don’t appreciate her copying at all.

???????????????????????????????

downey jr really thinks that english is the only language intelligent people can use? what a buffoon. a racist classist unintelligent buffoon

Also, Spain is in EUROPE and Spaniards, the folks who originated the colonial language of Spanish, are WHITE. So he’s clearly associating Inarritu’s Mexicanness and Spanish speaking to be markers of low intelligence.  Racist fuck.

Sooooo… what’s RDJ’s “intelligence” look like then in light of that whole criminal downfall he had, before his career bounced back from the sheer whiteness of him? Cos idk how anyone not white could turn around a raging addiction into a career launching point.

Does he not recall such gems as being buck naked, drunk driving w a magnum and not being ceremoniously shot to death for bein white? Or literally days later when he was found incapacitated and unconscious in a little girls room next door to his???? FUCK RDJ AND HIS “COME BACK” HES A CREEP A LIAR AND A RACIST.

In my opinion, RDJ is referring simply to the fact that his first language was NOT English, not that Spanish speakers are of low intelligence. I learned one language, lost it for another, then (half assed through high school) learned another. I believe Robert is just amazed that someone can pick up another language so fluently to be able to use such a term accurately. I have made similar statements regarding some English usage of my French friends. No, I don't think people who speak French are of lower intelligence. I am just amazed that someone who later in life, over only a few years learned English so well, and can speak it better than many native speakers even.
