So as most of you obliviously know, I’m a Jew! (I’m an Ashkenazi Jew for all ya uneducated goyims!)

Being Jewish is great because in my house we celebrate hanukkah every other year and we obviously make delicious Hebrew dishes

Of course being Jewish sucks at the same time because everyone blames you for problems in society when that’s bull. People constantly say that we have plenty of representation in media but we don’t! American media seems to only show us as holocaust survivors or greedy assholes.

It sucks for me because I’m Jewish and black and anytime I try to explain to people I’m Jewish they think it’s ok to make racist jokes or simply tell me that “Jews aren’t a race but they are a religion” like fuck You asshole that’s bull

This isn’t supposed to have any deep mean but it’s just to point out that “hey I’m a Jew and we Jews have it harder than you think!” Especially when my peers see it as ok to insult my Jewish side and black side (I’ll talk more on that later)

Oof goodnight

I keep finding myself in this conflicted place where I just want to know why don’t we value eachother. Why is it okay or normal for us for put eachother in danger for self gain? Why do we feel like we need to go out and possibily harm others? As people … as black people in urban America why don’t we value eachother?

Its shameful to think of all our ancestors went through for us to just turn on each other. We are doing exactly what their oppressors did to them to each other. It’s like spitting on their graves. Funny, because some of them didn’t even get graves; I’m sure many oppressors felt like it was unnecessary. For us to go against eachother in such a way that blatantly says our lives aren’t valuable, its saddening.

I totally understand how the institutionalized racism has worked over the years. I get it but I see our integrity as black people depleting with time and it makes me wonder. I see the examples we have of black excellence and I do applaud that but why isn’t it getting as much exposure as the negative examples. I see more examples of violence within the black community and how ratchet black people are (I’m not saying these things don’t normally happen but normalizing it is a problem), which is weird because I remember a time when the most ratchet I could get was Jerry Springer… a time where tv showed us variations of great black families and role models. It gave us as children at the time a template. Now its all screwed up. Glorifying craziness. Showcasing negativity, basically watering the seed of self worthlessness. As we get older, so does that plant.

Stop. I will not support ANYONE that kills someone in vain.

That's just logic. I don't care if I'm fucking purple I will stand up for whats right in my eyes, and that officer shot a young man, ended his very LIFE because he was weary of him BECAUSE the color of his skin. 

I've seen this way too often. Especially in my town. 

I got pulled over with my friend in the passenger seat and my SUV was searched and we were both asked a million fucking questions. Even sarcastically mocked after I asked, "Is this really necessary if I'm getting pulled over for a traffic violation?" 

What happened over in MO is just further proof of how scared someone can be because of their skin. 

It is 2014, we are in the 21st century. This. Is. Enough. 

THIS ladies n gentlemen is NOT how you get people on your side

THIS is bad recruiting 101. You don't tell the guy on the side of the road that needs jumper cables "OH, I got jumper cables, but go ask someone else from them jumper cables because this isn't worth my time"
