PoC News in America

Election news is heating up as we get closer to November. This week we have a lot of Oscars-adjacent news. (more…)

I only accept help from those whom are perfect!

Thank you liberalism?

Quit hating yourself. The only people who truly dislike you are those whom your words will NEVER persuade.

Just realize that they are beneath you IN THAT AREA and move on.

You can come back and help them out later.

I mean, help all that you can, but don't sacrifice your own personal goals to do so.

And hopefully your personal goals ALSO involve helping others and aren't ONLY "Make my life even MORE enjoyable!" Because really, from a completely self-interested point of view, it is better to give than to receive, but before you do either, you must have. Ouch, huh?

Let humans live their own lives and don't panic every time one kills another.

After all, do you panic when black people die?

Do you panic when one polar bear kills another polar bear?

Of course not.

Don't be silly!

And quit being Lost.

I'm just trying to get out of here.

The KONY 2012 campaign started as an experiment. Could an online video make obscure war criminal Joseph Kony famous? What were the results?

5 Examples of social media activism

Stop Kony 2012 – The was Project founded by Invisible children Inc., which sought to raise awareness about the heinous crimes against humanity committed in Uganda by Joseph Kony founder of the LRA. Invisible children Inc. sought assistance from The Hague, US senators, governments, human rights activists, acclaimed lawyers, celebrities as well as average individuals across the globe to simply generate knowledge since for 20 years many have not have not even heard of the atrocities committed in Uganda. Invisible Inc. sought to raise global awareness to educate the masses about this injustice and join the cause in solidarity by April 20 2012 through its aggressive Facebook campaign and YouTube video.

The Arab Spring. The Arab Spring's relevance and awareness was generated heavily on social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter to organize and share with the world about was going on in Egypt.

 Syrian uprising – since YouTube was blocked by the Syrian army civilians and protesters relied on social media platforms, especially Twitter to document the injustices going on in Syria.

Occupy Wall Street 2014 – Only 1% of the American population are elite and privileged in American society while the rest of society the 99%, are subject to inequality. The 99% of American protesters camped outside of New York in 2014 to advocate for equality against hegemonic oppression and social stratification in society ever widening economic gap between the rich and the rest of Americans. The occupy movement relied on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to shed awareness about the cause.
