These are the ppl who is claimed to be involved

If you find a photo of the kats but don’t remember them ever posting it anywhere maybe you should refrain from posting it. "But the account is public people were going to find it anyway ." You don’t get a trophy for finding it. If they never spoke or told us about whatever app they posted the photo on, don’t you think they’re entitled to privacy?

Why would you go around and tell people where it came from? that’s how unnecessary discourse and arguments start. you don’t have to follow the girls on every platform especially on ones they never posted to the public or have spoken about. Don’t immediately make it your pfp, if you know where it came from keep it to yourself! if someone tells you to delete the picture maybe you should delete it.

Again, just because something is public doesn’t mean you have to spread it around. If the girls DIDN’T share the account with us, then we shouldn’t be sharing it either.

citizens of south minneapolis went to the scene after the shooting was reported and disposed of and agents, possibly cops or ice, have thrown gas tears and such at citizens of the area once again.

might i add, they detained a two year old. a two. year. old. a judge even ordered for the baby’s release, but no! it’s not enough 😭😭😭 i pray that minnesota continues to stand strong throughout this civil war. the protest yesterday was huge and i cannot be more proud of where i stand.

STOP THESE WHITE GUYS DUDE TF now this is crazy bro they think they can just copy black people and get away with it.. CAN WE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS SOMEONE POST IT ON TWITTER 😭 — 🩻

p.s: PLEASE REBLOG THIS SO THAT IT CAN GET OUT

The jokes about Megan's dyslexia aren't funny. They were never funny. She is more than her disability.

The jokes about Yoonchae being homophobic or her not knowing what being gay is aren't funny. They were never funny. She is in a group with two of the gayest women I have ever seen. She's in a group based in Los fucking Angeles for God's sake. I think she knows what the word gay means.

anytime i see megan being brought up is when they call her the dyslexic one or they lowkey infantilize her and make her seem like “dumb naïve” one

and they KEEP acting like yoonchae is a ten year old that magically wandered into the world for the first time pls…

Hogwood (the man who sold the twins the mill) and the KKK are very obviously bad, they are outright malicious bigotry, they use the n-word and plan to lynch the moore's and their community, they are so blatantly racist and hateful it's unavoidably obvious

remmick and the vampires however say that they believe in equality, say that they want to create a community, and yet remmick's goal throught the movie is to both metaphorically and literally steal sammie's ability for his own goal of reconnecting with his irish ancestors, a white man wants to harm a young and upcoming black man and use talents for his own goals without giving any regard to said black man's autonomy or agency

when sammie sings 'I lied to you' in the juke joint and calls forth the spirits from the past and future, it's a blend of cultures; west african, east asian, native american, and african american song and dance blend together across time and space to tell the stories of blues; where it takes its inspiration from, the music genres it then inspired, the complex history of black american culture and its intersections with other peoples of colour in the USA

when remmick and the vampires kill and turn the people in the juke joint, and then perform rocky road to dublin, only remmick's irish culture is on display, there is no influence from the black and asian people he has forcibly assimilated into his song, it's juxtaposition with the earlier scene is blatant, remmick is more than happy to assimilate people of colour into his 'community' of 'equals', and yet its only whiteness that is celebrated, that is normative

remmick claims that he's doing people a favour by turning them immortal, conviently ignoring that he literally has to suck the life out of them to do so, trapping their spirits on earth, he claims that he's the good guy, that the KKK were gonna come and lynch everyone at the joint in the morning anyways, conviently ignoring that he's doing the exact same thing; a white man leading a mob to kill a bunch of black people

in the final confrontation with sammie remmick repeatedly dunks him into the river, a forceful baptism. both the celtic irish and enslaved west africans had their religions suppressed and destroyed by colonialsm, had christianity forced upon them by the british empire, and in that scene we see remmick repeating that cycle, using christianity to inflict harm, and sammie reclaiming christianity, despite all the complex emotions he has arround it, as many colonised peoples have and still do, when he recites the lord's prayer

remmick and the vampires are no less racist than hogwood and the KKK, are no less predatory or evil, they're just less blantant about their bigotry, they represent the system, the normalised white supremacy that is seeped into the very foundation of culture in america, the point isnt that remmick would call any of the black characters in the movie the n-word, i dont think he would, the point is that his exploitation and desacration and inserting-himself-into-when-he-wasn't-invited of the juke joint is a microcosm of what white people have done to black american arts and culture since ever since there have been black and white people in america, and even before that

you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.

even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on

do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?

i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate
