Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I researched, the Pilgrims made a treaty with the Wampanoag, but later on in 1637 when more colonists came in they burned to death several hundreds of the Pequot tribe, and then no treaty mattered anymore, and even eventually the peaceful Wampanoag were slaughtered as

Coincidentally, the Texas Board of Education gave the go ahead to put exactly that into our kids' schoolbooks, that Moses is a founding father... I constantly have to assess what my son learned in school and teach him the truth at home. He's the only kid who knows that the Indians were killed by the Pilgrims, and that

From a white person, to other white people: knock that shit off. Just... have an ugly sweater party, okay?

Ahahaha, I love it! Medieval Misandry! Chivalrous Male Tears!

The worst one in common usage in the military was 'split tail' (shudder). For casual non sex play reference, I choose phrasing such as 'lady parts'. Sometimes, we'll even call her 'the French Lady' because, well, she's snobby and above it all if you just don't come at her the right way.

I love these posts. I love even the fact that these women aren't even necessarily our 'heroes' but real notable women who weren't perfect but who did some big shit that history never really makes too much of a big deal about... but if you dig around enough you can get to know them. Boudicca? Please?

I'm white, so take my opinion with a grain of salt because I can't speak for People of Color, or Harajuku, but another thing that hasn't been mentioned is that cultural appropriation has an element of a white person taking an element of another's culture that they think is cool and just grabbing it and running with it

Thank you, there is a way to help, if you go to protectourdefenders.com and notinvisible.org there are survivor stories (including mine) and petitions to help to get Military Justice Improvement Act some support, and you an share it on facebook to encourage people you know to see what's going on and help vets and

You know what's also lacking is Women of Color. I saw an article of all the ways you can braid your hair and I thought to myself, self, there MUST be lots of Women of Color in this article not just white girls but nope, which was a let down.

I served 9 years, honorably. I sustained serious PTSD and mental health issues directly from being raped by my 'brothers' and punished by the system... it wasn't war that did this to me. It was the other Soldiers. This is what many Vets (some men too) are hiding from you. Many of our disabilities and wounds are not

No.

Um, no. Hell no. It is a cop's choice to serve and their duty to face the possibilities of getting hurt or killed in the business of protecting and serving the public. That job entails keeping your cool when you are disrespected. If they can't keep their cool and not MURDER somebody for having an attitude, resisting

And one more thing. As a former military member, I see a weapon and I go from zero to holy fucking shit. We called it 'flagging' when a muzzle was inadvertently ever pointed at someone. You could get your ass literally kicked for that. Even if you're walking around with a weapon, it's muscle memory to keep it pointed

Stupidly, I always assumed the police should know these things. You always, no matter what, always treat it as if it was loaded. Never point it at anything(one) you do not intend to kill. You do not shoot to wound or warn. It is deadly force and should be treated as such. It's not meant for intimidation or just in

I gag on his eleganza!

Whoopsie. That's what I hear from all this copsplaining. Black deaths are okay because, oops.

I don't know, I saw it as white people highlighting the fact that they are aware of their white privilege and showing the difference in how they were treated. I think the opinion of people of color of the hashtag is what matters. Most of the reactions I saw from people of color were, holy crap have you seen this shit

She's called Six.

the best

2:58. Nothing really about her emphasized but her value as a mother, daughter, wife, lady... not really what's going to convince someone who is on the fence about her being a woman capable of being President.
