Happy words are futile devices Wednesday!

It’s actually funny as hell that you can successfully ragebait like 99% of the human population just by existing as a woman and not altering your natural body. Like people get SO MAD about a woman having leg hair but like… thats a natural part of all human bodies 😭😭😭 it’s a human trait, it’s part of the package of being a mammal…

white europeans love to pretend like the united states and europe aren’t two cheeks of the same ass

Listen, nobody who's ever opened a history book says we didn't do that shit first. Pick an atrocity and chances are there was a time europeans did it on mass to someone for the sake of profit. The difference, is that we have for the most part put that behind us, while the US is just sinking deeper and deeper into it. We're not perfect, and we were a lot worse in the past. But it has been a while since we were the problem

"its been a while since we were the problem" someone Black was murdered by police violence in Ireland last month

Britain only stopped paying former slave owners restitution in 2015. It used tax payer dollars to put $20 million into the hands of slave owners as compensation for the enactment of the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 for 182 years. And only stopped when the "debt" was fully paid. Yet Britain isn't the problem anymore.

"Put that behind us" means refusing to acknowledge that it even existed, placing blame on impoverished countries that got that way due to centuries of slavery and colonisation, and refusing to collect race-relevant data in-country to amend structural inequalities because out of sight out of mind. "Put that behind us" when our cultures and countries have been irreversibly changed and even completely wiped out leaving us without a sense of ancestry, land ownership or our own language, but then treat people of other races, even those born in your countries, like they're a threat to your nations' very existence.

When people say "critical thinking" they actually just mean normal thinking and if you actually think critically about something they'll get mad and say something like "it's not that deep".
