welp

i need you to check your privilege

Guilt doesn’t transfer from generation to generation. I am not magically accountable for something my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather MIGHT have done. Also;

But wait, you cry.  Not all black people are criminals and not all Muslims are terrorists.  That’s unfair!  And racist!

Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.

When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro” and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free white man Robert Parker.

Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own slave of their own race. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.

Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.

By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.

However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.

By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone. _____________________________________________________

In 1807 Britain outlawed slavery. In 1820 the king of the African kingdom of Ashanti inquired why the Christians did not want to trade slaves with him anymore, since they worshiped the same god as the Muslims and the Muslims were continuing the trade like before.

The civil rights movement of the 1960’s have left many people with the belief that the slave trade was exclusively a European/USA phenomenon and only evil white people were to blame for it. This is a simplistic scenario that hardly reflects the facts.

Thousands of records of transactions are available on a CDROM prepared by Harvard University and several comprehensive books have been published recently on the origins of modern slavery (namely, Hugh Thomas’ The Slave Trade and Robin Blackburn’s The Making Of New World Slavery) that shed new light on centuries of slave trading. What these records show is that the modern slave trade flourished in the early middle ages, as early as 869, especially between Muslim traders and western African kingdoms. For moralists, the most important aspect of that trade should be that Muslims were selling goods to the African kingdoms and the African kingdoms were paying with their own people. In most instances, no violence was necessary to obtain those slaves. Contrary to legends and novels and Hollywood movies, the white traders did not need to savagely kill entire tribes in order to exact their tribute in slaves. All they needed to do is bring goods that appealed to the kings of those tribes. The kings would gladly sell their own subjects. (Of course, this neither condones the white traders who bought the slaves nor deny that many white traders still committed atrocities to maximize their business). This explains why slavery became “black”. Ancient slavery, e.g. under the Roman empire, would not discriminate: slaves were both white and black (so were Emperors and Popes). In the middle ages, all European countries outlawed slavery (of course, Western powers retained countless “civilized” ways to enslave their citizens, but that’s another story), whereas the African kingdoms happily continued in their trade. Therefore, only colored people could be slaves, and that is how the stereotype for African-American slavery was born. It was not based on an ancestral hatred of blacks by whites, but simply on the fact that blacks were the only ones selling slaves, and they were selling people of their own race. (To be precise, Christians were also selling Muslim slaves captured in war, and Muslims were selling Christian slaves captured in war, but neither the Christians of Europe nor the Muslims of Africa and the Middle East were selling their own people). Then the Muslim the trade of African slaves declined rapidly when Arab domination was reduced by the emerging European powers. (Note: Arabs continued to capture and sell slaves, but mostly in the Mediterranean. In fact, Robert Davis estimates that 1.25 million European Christians were enslaved by the “barbary states” of northern Africa. As late as 1801 the USA bombed Morocco, Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli precisely to stop that Arab slave trade of Christians. The rate of mortality of those Christian slaves in the Islamic world was roughly the same as the mortality rate in the Atlantic slave trade of the same period.) Christians took over in black Africa, though. The first ones were the Portuguese, who, applying an idea that originally developed in Italian seatrading cities, and often using Italian venture capital, started exploiting sub-Saharan slaves in the 1440s to support the economy of the sugar plantations (mainly for their own African colonies of Sao Tome and Madeira). The Dutch were the first, apparently, to import black slaves into North America, but black slaves had already been employed all over the world, including South and Central America. We tend to focus on what happened in North America because the United States would eventually fight a war over slavery (and it’s in the U.S. that large sectors of the population would start condemning slavery, contrary to the indifference that Muslims and most Europeans showed for it). Even after Europeans began transporting black slaves to America, most trade was just that: “trade”. In most instances, the Europeans did not need to use any force to get those slaves. The slaves were “sold” more or less legally by their (black) owners. Scholars estimate that about 12,000,000 Africans were sold by Africans to Europeans (most of them before 1776, when the USA wasn’t yet born) and 17,000,000 were sold to Arabs. The legends of European mercenaries capturing free people in the jungle are mostly just that: legends. A few mercenaries certainly stormed peaceful tribes and committed terrible crimes, but that was not the rule. There was no need to risk their lives, so most of them didn’t: they simply purchased people. As an African-American scholar (Nathan Huggins) has written, the “identity” of black Africans is largely a white invention: sub-Saharan Africans never felt like they were one people, they felt (and still feel) that they belonged to different tribes. The distinctions of tribe were far stronger than the distinctions of race. Everything else is true: millions of slaves died on ships and of diseases, millions of blacks worked for free to allow the Western economies to prosper, and the economic interests in slavery became so strong that the southern states of the United States opposed repealing it. But those millions of slaves were just one of the many instances of mass exploitation: the industrial revolution was exported to the USA by enterpreuners exploiting millions of poor immigrants from Europe. The fate of those immigrants was not much better than the fate of the slaves in the South. As a matter of fact, many slaves enjoyed far better living conditions in the southern plantations than European immigrants in the industrial cities (which were sometimes comparable to concentration camps). It is not a coincidence that slavery was abolished at a time when millions of European and Chinese immigrants provided the same kind of cheap labor. It is also fair to say that, while everybody tolerated it, very few whites practiced slavery: in 1860 there were 385,000 USA citizens who owned slaves, or about 1.4% of the white population (there were 27 million whites in the USA). That percentage was zero in the states that did not allow slavery (only 8 million of the 27 million whites lived in states that allowed slavery). Incidentally, in 1830 about 25% of the free Negro slave masters in South Carolina owned 10 or more slaves: that is a much higher percentage (ten times more) than the number of white slave owners. Thus slave owners were a tiny minority (1.4%) and it was not only whites: it was just about anybody who could, including blacks themselves. Moral opposition to slavery was widespread even before Lincoln, and throughout Europe. On the other hand, opposition to slavery was never particularly strong in Africa itself, where slavery is slowly being eradicated only in our time. One can suspect that slavery would have remained common in most African kingdoms until this day: what crushed slavery in Africa was that all those African kingdoms became colonies of western European countries that (for one reason or another) eventually decided to outlaw slavery. When, in the 1960s, those African colonies regained their independence, numerous cases of slavery resurfaced. And countless African dictators behaved in a way that makes a slave owner look like a saint. Given the evidence that this kind of slavery was practiced by some Africans before it was practiced by some Americans, that it was abolished by all whites and not by some Africans, and that some Africans resumed it the moment they could, why would one keep blaming the USA but never blame, say, Ghana or the Congo? The more we study it, the less blame we have to put on the USA for the slave trade with black Africa: it was pioneered by the Arabs, its economic mechanism was invented by the Italians and the Portuguese, it was mostly run by western Europeans, and it was conducted with the full cooperation of many African kings. The USA fostered free criticism of the phenomenon: no such criticism was allowed in the Muslim and Christian nations that started trading goods for slaves, and no such criticism was allowed in the African nations that started selling their own people (and, even today, no such criticism is allowed within the Arab world). Today it is politically correct to blame some European empires and the USA for slavery (forgetting that it was practiced by everybody since prehistoric times). But I rarely read the other side of the story: that the nations who were the first to develop a repulsion for slavery and eventually abolish slavery were precisely those countries (especially Britain and the USA). In 1787 the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade was founded in England: it was the first society anywhere in the world opposed to slavery. In 1792 English prime minister William Pitt called publicly for the end of the slave trade: it was the first time in history (anywhere in the world) that the ruler of a country had called for the abolition of slavery. No African king and emperor had ever done so. As Dinesh D’Souza wrote, “What is uniquely Western is not slavery but the movement to abolish slavery”.

To be completely fair, what was also unique about the western slave trade is the scale (the millions shipped to another continent in a relatively short period of time), and, of course, that it eventually became a racist affair, discriminating blacks, whereas previous slave trades had not discriminated based on the color of the skin. What is unique about the USA, in particular, is the unfair treatment that blacks received AFTER emancipation, which is, after all, the real source of the whole controversy, because, otherwise, just about everybody on this planet could claim to be the descendant of an ancient slave). That does not mean that western slave traders were justified in what they did, but placing all the blame on them is a way to absolve all the others. Also, it is worth noting that the death rate among the white crews of the slave ships (20-25%) was higher than the rate among black slaves (15%) because slaves were more valuable than sailors but nobody has written books and filmed epics about those sailors (often unwillingly enrolled or even kidnapped in ports around Europe when they were drunk). To this day, too many Africans, Arabs and Europeans believe that the African slave trade was an USA aberration, not their own invention.

Apparently African slave owners treated their slaves better though? By how much I do not know. And slavery is slavery.

Originally I was going to say, fuck you I did not have anything to do with slavery and neither did (my) ancestors who would have been poor and miserable in industrial Britain. 

Gonna have to edit in sources for this when I get on a pc but here’s a comic to tide you over

According to a 2017 report by the US National Institutes of Health, fake accusers “were primarily motivated by emotional gain. Most false allegations were used to cover up other behaviour such as adultery or skipping school”.

Hmmm…how about this one?

The Duke lacrosse case was a widely reported 2006 criminal case in which three members of the Duke University men’s lacrosse team were falsely accused of rape. The case evoked varied responses from the media, faculty groups, students, the community, and others. The case’s resolution sparked public discussion of racism, media bias, and due process on campuses, and ultimately led to the resignation and disbarment of the lead prosecutor, Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong.

The second stripper who performed at the house, Kim Roberts, said that Mangum was not raped. She stated that Mangum was not obviously hurt. Likewise, she refuted other aspects of Mangum’s story including denying that she helped dress Mangum after the party and saying that they were not forcefully separated by players as Mangum had reported.

DNA results revealed that the woman had sex with a man who was not a Duke lacrosse player. Attorney Joseph Cheshire said the tests indicated DNA from a single male source came from a vaginal swab taken from Mangum. Media outlets reported that this DNA was from her boyfriend.

However, it was later revealed that DNA from multiple males who were neither the lacrosse players nor Mangum’s boyfriend had been found, but that these findings had been deliberately withheld from the Court and the defense. She had made a similar claim in the past which she did not pursue. On August 18, 1996, the dancer – then 18 years old – told a police officer in Creedmoor she had been raped by three men in June 1993, according to a police document. The officer who took the woman’s report at that time asked her to write a detailed timeline of the night’s events and bring the account back to the police, but she never returned. The strip club’s security officer said that Mangum told co-workers four days after the party that she was going to get money from some boys at a Duke party who had not paid her, mentioning that the boys were white. The security guard did not make a big deal of it because he felt that no one took her seriously. Mangum was arrested in 2002 for stealing a cab from a strip club where she had been working. She led police officers on a high-speed chase before she was apprehended, at which point her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. She was sentenced to three weekends in detention.

Or this one?

The woman, dirty, disheveled and in tears, ran over to a patrol car parked along a Harlem street in the early morning of Jan. 18, 1991. She told police officers she had been kidnapped at knife point near her home in Queens and raped by three black men, whom she identified.

Before the end of the month, the police arrested two of the men she had named — Gregory Counts, then 19, and VanDyke Perry, then 21. They were charged with rape, sodomy, kidnapping and criminal possession of a weapon, according to court records. The third man was never caught.

Investigators had no physical evidence. Semen recovered from the woman did not match the two accused men. The prosecution’s case relied heavily on her testimony, which was inconsistent. The defense argued the woman, a recovering crack addict, fabricated the story to protect her boyfriend, who had shot Mr. Perry two months earlier and was wanted by the police, court records show.

Yet, in 1992, a jury convicted Mr. Counts and Mr. Perry on all counts except for the weapons charges. Mr. Perry ended up serving 11 years in prison, Mr. Counts 26.

Yeah, I’m sure she didn’t stand to benefit from that, right?

In December 2017 a student was cleared of rape thanks to evidence uncovered in his Facebook messages, however, he still had to spend over three years in prison before he could prove his innocence.

Prosecutors dropped charges Monday against four California dentists, including three brothers, who defense attorneys said were falsely accused of raping a woman at a Las Vegas Strip hotel.

“After review of the facts of the case, it was clear that the allegations were completely fabricated,” lawyers for the men wrote in a prepared statement before a court appearance. “The evidence confirmed the men’s innocence, and the state has cleared them of all charges.”

None of the dentists, all of whom were already free on their own recognizance, appeared in Las Vegas Justice Court for a hearing that took about 30 seconds, just long enough for a prosecutor to tell Justice of the Peace Eric Goodman the charges were dismissed.

In early August, after the allegations were reported in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, attorneys for Ali Badkoobehi, 30, Saman Edalat, 39, Sina Edalat, 34, and Poria Edalat, 30, said video evidence contradicted the rape claim.

Badkoobehi’s attorneys Robert Draskovich and Michael Horvath said video showed that the allegations were false and the sex was consensual.

Craig Hendricks, who represents Poria Edalat, said prosecutors were presented exculpatory video evidence that showed “extremely different” circumstances than what was initially reported to authorities.

Jess Marchese, the attorney for Saman Edalat, said his client did not have a sexual encounter with the woman. Gary Guymon, who represents Sina Edalat, pointed out in August that a prosecutor did not object to releasing the men without bond.

The men were arrested in late July after the woman told Wynn Las Vegas security that she was sexually assaulted in a suite while intoxicated.

In a statement that referenced the #MeToo movement, the men thanked their lawyers, family and friends for support during a “horrific ordeal,” which included media reports of the allegations.

“We are so grateful to the justice system for recognizing that we were the victims in this case,” the statement said. “We knew when the facts came out that the vicious allegations would be exposed as lies and our good names would be cleared. At this sensitive moment in our history, we believe that women should be respected and heard and believed. But as this case shows, it is also important to keep a critical eye on those willing to use the movement for their own selfish motives and remember that innocent until proven guilty is one of our country’s bedrock principles.”

There are more. My friend @lastsonlost has a long list of cases and maybe he’ll be generous enough to share them.

Now, maybe you don’t give a shit about due process. Maybe you don’t care if one of your male relatives is accused of sexual assault. Maybe seeing them unjustly suffer even if there’s a complete lack of evidence and credible witnesses means nothing to you, but for the rest of us, it means a lot. 

I have an autistic son, 16 years old and nonverbal. He is innocent and vulnerable in ways able-bodied women of sound mind are not. He would be completely unable to defend himself if someone decided to accuse him of something like that. He doesn’t understand the meaning of evil. He has no concept of it. He doesn’t have a single malicious bone in his entire body.

Question to everyone else above who quickly jump to say yes they would believe the accuser no questions asked:

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR WRONG?

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM if it came out that the accusations were indeed FALSE and after 10 to 20 years in prison you have to face them again.

“She suddenly broke and said I was absolutely right. She had made the whole thing up because she was angry with her father and wanted to teach him a lesson,” McCulloch said.

I don’t want to hear how you think it’s rare or how you swear up and down that men are believed more because it’s not true. There’s practically a new Old Man released from prison every other day.

My question stands.

I feel like there’s is this general belief that once you have someone convicted of a crime that’s it like they magically stop existing and you never have to face that person ever again.

The woman who falsely accused Brian Banks thought that since she was wrong.

>According to a 2017 report by the US National Institutes of Health, fake accusers “were primarily motivated by emotional gain. Most false allegations were used to cover up other behaviour such as adultery or skipping school”.

h2o-just-add-kat > I didn’t read the full reblog (i am using the tumblr app) but I guess for “emotional gain” or “revenge” but that is mostly in the 1% while the other 99% rape victims are telling the truth

You seem to have a real consistent problem with reading things that are right in front of you. I wouldn’t trust you to make judgments about rape. I wouldn’t trust you to make a ham sandwich if you had to use directions.

orangeandgreengardens > It also talked about believing women and I would believe a woman over my brother or father because she doesn’t benefit from coming forward about something like that

So? What does this have to do with the many, many women who make false accusations for profit, to hurt the man, or both? Your argument is literally dressed up personal beliefs, not objective facts. Sometimes people believe their friends and relatives, and whoops, turns out they were lying anyway. 

How can you give someone your belief and sympathy and then go “hmm, she has no reason to lie!” You’re disproving your own argument. In reality, dudes get accused by women who presumably want to get out of paying cab fare. Emma Sulcowicz got national fame and an award, even though the guy she publicly accused had already been acquitted by the university.

>Also yes all men.

A good friend said you didnt believe women (falsely or otherwise) accused men of rape and got them jailed.

So here you go. Note that some are black, which usually changes the tune of people who claim it never happens, if all of the other examples werent enough.

2.  It is not just men.  I’m a woman, I’m in full agreement that Brie’s performance in the trailer was boring and a bad sign of what is to come.  I know other women who agree with me.

3.  It’s amazing that a little grievance mongering can get you to buy a ticket.  Way to play right into a marketer’s plan.  Turning any criticism into a sexism/racism/ect thing actually degrades claims of sexism and racism. You got conned and you’re bragging about it.

I find this interesting both for the topic but specifically my problem with finding gifs with black folks in them. 9 times of 10 I never find a gif I like that has black folks in it. Often it’s a white character or actor with AAVE splashed across it. It hasn’t escaped my notice that a majority of gifs used by non black folks often feature us, and AAVE but credit is never given for the genesis of terms like YAASSSS, WERK, YASS KWEEN, etc. 

Women can be just as sexist as men. Stereotyping men, blaming them for everything etc.

HETEROPHOBIA COMES IN MANY FORMS AND IT CAN BE DEATH THREATS.

Cisgender people are harassed too. Dont act like the trans community is full of special flowers; y'all are just as guilty of cisphobia when you harrass and target cisgender individuals.

You honestly think “reverse sexism” is just men getting made fun of? It is entire laws that demand we treat them worse by default. It is men going through the same objectification, harassment, discrimination, etc and no one caring because the victim is male.

You think “reverse racism” isnt a thing? We literally have people assaulting, kidnapping, torturing, and murdering white people while full out admitting that they did it, bot because the individual wronged them, but because they just hate white people.

It isnt that these thjngs arent happening to the groups that you dislike, it is just that you dont care when it happens to said groups. You do mental gymnastics to justify violence and discrimination against these groups. Your “it’s okay when we do it” mentality only fuels your double standards.

Posts like these are exactly why people doubt you when you say your activist group supports equality. Bigotry has become activism.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with women being historically barred from professions by men.

And women tend to choose safer jobs, take more vacations, work fewer hours, and are more likely to pursue jobs they enjoy rather than those that will make the most money. So women have more time to spend at home or relax. Women are less likely to die or get injured during work.

Well, considering that America is a white-majority country…

> How are people who were raised during segragation, when they couldn’t go to the pool, supposed to teach their kids to swim??

“we can help put the blame on someone other than you”

You’d rather take an innocent civilian an put him behind bars. You’d rather take him away from his children who need him and family who adore him.

You’d rather take the woman’s side in a heart beat. Why? Insane psycho bitches use this to their advantage and purposely accuse a fake rape just as an act of revenge.

He may get out of prison, but that will forever be in his record and his name. He will never be hired as he was arrested under rape charges even though he did nothing.

In America, there is something called “innocent until proven guilty”

Thanks the feminists who put in the Duluth Model and who falsely accuse rape, we have innocent father’s, husbands, brothers, and sons going to jail.

Yet here you are asking why someone’s defending a rapist. You didnt even read any evidence that they raped anyone. Wanna know what that makes you?

A mysoginist or a hypocrite.

Because you believe women are so weak and easily manipulated that you’d believe them over that man without any evidence involved.

not to say that they don’t exist, because they do, but y’all gotta stop acting like men are apparently oppressed because of this.

EXAMINING THE 2-8% FALSE RAPE STATISTIC AND THE NUMBERS IT REPRESENTS

The widely accepted statistic for false rape accusations is between 2-8% even though 14 out of 20 studies have placed them at a much higher rate. But even if we accept the 2-8% statistic, the numbers are not low as the statistic would suggest. For example, in 2009 there were 88,097 rapes reported according to the Department of Justice. If we take 5%, the median of 2-8% that people widely accept as the true statistic of false accusations, that would mean out of 88,097 reported rapes that 4,404 men were falsely accused of rape. That’s four thousand four hundred and four men falsely accused of rape just in 2009 alone.

Just let that sink in for a minute.

That is in no way a small number and quite frankly a very disturbing realization. Now apply the same calculation to every figure since 1990:

Now consider the fact that 14 out of 20 studies on the prevalence of false rape accusations place them at a much higher rate, as seen here:

See, these numbers arent taken from any atudies that specofically look for false rape reports, they are just leftover data. Finding real rates at the very least requires a classification for false rape cases a s accusation that apply across the board, which did not happen here. Some studies only counted them as false once they were proven wrong in court. Some only counted them as false if the woman admitted they were false (and did not count when evidence proved she lied). Some cases count up until police start an investigation. Some dont count them if the woman admitted to lying before the accusation started. And we havent even gotten to colleges and the like where police havent been contacted, but accusations and punishments have been made.

The more you include, the higher it gets. If you only include those released from prison after being found innocent, it can be as low as 2%. If you count those proven innocent in court (depending on if you count confessions or proof for a false accusation), it can grow to roughly 10%. If you count before police investigations, it grows, and if you count before that, it grows some more. If you look above at some of the examples, you can see that they are significant percentages. And this was back during the time when we cared even less about flase rape accusations.

So it is safe to say that the actual rate of false rape accusations is much higher than the estimated amount using the inconsistent research methods that were used at the time.

You also forget that rape, like murder, has been a serious crime for decades. Every country that consoders rape (against women) a crime considers it a serious one. Anti-rape messages, commercials, song lyrics, campaigns, etc are acually very common and people typically know that rape is wrong. Rapists, like murderers, typically commit the crime knowing full well that what they are doing is illegal, wrong, and highly punishable. They do it anyway. False rape accusation, which we have shown affects thousands of men, is not really taught as bad Or punishable. In fact, it is often encouraged. As with the infamous mattress girl incident, it was shown to be highly profitable. You can get on magazine covers, get television interviews, get awards, and ruin the life of some guy (and let’s be honest here, it is almost always a guy) that you dont like. People have made false accusations to handle even the most idiotic problems. Women have made false accusations to get out of cab fare, to get a guy they liked to notice them, to get back at an ex, and even literally just because they were bored and wanted attention. Very few people tell them theyre wrong. They are rarely punished. It often takes the victims being black and having already been jailed for at least half of their lives before people start actually caring. That’s the difference. That’s why people are bringing attention to this problem.

Soldier: humvee hit an IED. Killed everyone else besides me. Still have nightmares about scraping what was left of my A-gunner of my boots. You?

Marine: got hit by artillery while I was sleeping. Had to hold my own intestines in until the corpsman got to me. Explosions end up sending me into flashbacks. How about you guy?

Leftist:

Now, call me crazy, but I think she and her practice might be a tad biased.

You can be in a profession and have really bad professional opinions.

I said what I said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lady, i have 2 degrees on this. I literally have walls of books on the history of food. White people didnt rape, colonize, steal, or destroy anymore than the Chinese did. And i doubt you would be okay saying this about Asians.

People tended to use less seasoning back ghen because food was bred and grown differently. Things like chicken and beef had way more natural flavor, so additional seasonings werent really needed. In fact, for some places, seasonings were typically used by the poor, who were left with bad tasting scraps. Other places had them solely for the rich, since non native spices were incredibly expensive.

Just like with Japanese culture, food culture in European cultures are often rely on tradition. Traditional methods are used, even if obsolete from newly available ingredients. It’s why old traditional methods of wine and cheese making are still used today. In fact, simple flavors and limited seasonings are available in a large amount of African dishes. The whole “white people dont season their food” stereotype originated in the US, and is clearly wrong, since European immigrants brought over tons of well seasoned and loved food like pizza, sausages, gyros, literally a ton of well known french dishes. I mean most southern cuisine came from French immigrants, and African slaves and paid servants (who at the time didnt even have access to most spices) simply copied those. The only real nuance is the addition of peppers and things like nutmeg and corn (originating in the americas) which European immigrants had already been using in their recipes. ( Actual soul food that can be entirely credited to African Americans is limited).

The point is that the caricature of white people’s cooking being unseasoned is a very real part of reality for other cultures. Japan prides its traditional food with simplistic flavors. As in minimal or no seasoning. So any mocking you have for white people, equally (if not moreso) applies to the Japanese. You clearly don’t think it’s okay to say these same things to Asians, so it is clear that it isnt the action itself that you have a problem with, but the race doing it.

Youre a racist. You think just because you mr opinions are popular and other bad activists are on your side, that you are in the right. I think we know from history that a popular opinion isnt always the right one.

Various cultures did very drastic things to get their hands on spices and ingredients from other countries, including by many African countries.

You clearly don’t know enough about European cuisine to make the claim that they do not season their food. Wheras @mizumanta, Yuki, and I have extensive knowledge on cuisine from all over the world. At least enough to confirm that European dishes are diverse and do in fact use spices and have diverse flavors.

What you are doing is negatively generalizing an entire race of people’s work (and really the race itself) as inferior, and as we have discussed before, seeing another race as inferior is racist.

DON’T FUCKING ACT LIKE WOMEN ARE THE ONLY FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE FUCKING INDUSTRY THAT HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR WEIGHT FOR FUCKING ROLES YOU FUCKING ENTITLED FUCKING CUNTS. 

Aww, boo hoo you had to change your weight for one fucking movie; TRY TEN FUCKING YEARS OF IT FOR FUCKING WOLVERINES ROLE IN THE LAST, OH I DUNNO, DOZEN FUCKING X-MEN/WOLVERINE MOVIES YOU FUCKING TWITS!

The issue is that their activism, their feminism, is based on the assumption that men do not have to deal with the issue. The fact is they for most of those cases, they do. Sometimes more often. And it is both lazy and misleading to make thise claims befre you even put any effort into researching what the group you are excluding (and mocking) deals with.

Not sure if you know this, but something being popular doesnt make it right.

You are being ridiculous. No one saod that women dont deal with this thing. They are saying that pretending like it’s awomens issue is ignorant and sexist. No one said said that you couldnt make fun of men (provided that you also make fun of women). It is the one sided mocking and one sided views that is the problem. Making fun of men is but doing the same to women is misogyny. Assuming everything happens to women and men don’t know what it’s like. Thats what those two are like. That’s what the problem here.

You probably dodnt read the comment that you responded to, but both of these comedians put their political opinions into their jokes. That is sort of a think that comedians have been doing for decades. The political opinions that they are putting into their jokes however are wrong.

1. You assume I’m not white or at least part white and that I can’t identify with ~”white culture”~ 😩surprise…the woman who birthed me, who I see every day and call “mother” is white. So..idk if you knew of this thing but it’s called humor.

2. You assume that I don’t make posts similar to this but being black as the subject (shocker—I do…because GASP IM ALSO BLACK)

3. THE MOST HILARIOUS—You think I care. 😢 I don’t.

1. You admit your race on your blog, and have no evidence to show that they assumed your race without evidence. They didnt even say you were black. But your blog shows that you care when black people are victims of this sort of thing.

2. Being part of a group doesnt mean that you cannot perpetuate stereotypes or be racist. Fresh Off the Boat is full of Chinese (and a korean man) making Chinese stereotype jokes. The Boondocks generalizes most poor black people as stupid and violent.

Even if you were white, it would not excuse your racist behavior. There are tons of white people on this website alone who make fun of white people.

And there is no such thing as “white culture”. There are many European cultures, which is much more respective. Kind of like how there isnt really “Asian culture”, but many Asian countries with their own culture. It shows ignorance and makes your ignorance of other cultures evident to go about it the way you did.

3. You clearly do care. You responded and blocked people. If you didnt care, you wouldnt have responded, or done so with minimal effort.
