He saw her pull out. He turned around to follow her. He raced up on her. She moved over. Whap - he hits the lights. He CREATED THIS TRAFFIC STOP SO HE COULD HARASS A BLACK WOMAN PERIOD FULL STOP END OF STORY.

They already have de-escalating training. More training isn’t going to solve anything. These people make A CHOICE to abuse their position. And because society lets them off of the hook they keep on doing it.

This is chilling for a lot of reasons but for me the worst was the totally uneventful stop that took place immediately prior to Sandra being pulled over (and almost made me think this was somehow the wrong video). That’s how sweet a cop can be... if he wants. Once an officer decides he’s owed more deference than he’s…

How a Batman v. Superman fight ends:

What would be great would be if Mr. & Mrs. Wayne arranged their estate so Bruce couldn’t touch the money, and had to continually convince his trust manager to buy this shit for him.

“He should’ve had a better welcome than he had,” Sequoya Turner, a lifelong Oklahoma resident, told Politico before bursting into tears.

Waller County Sheriff’s Office said she died “from what appears to be self-inflicted asphyxiation,”

These “officers of the law” have made up everything in this case, I am convinced of it.

She was probably vocal in letting them know she was aware of her rights and wasn’t going to be silent or passive in her mistreatment. That sounds about reason enough for these racist pigs to kill her.

I suspect you’re not telling the truth and if the obviousness of not wanting caustic chemicals on your scalp isn’t well obvious I’m not really sure there’s anything I can say that would change your mind. Given that you don’t even have the language right I’m going to go on and assume that you’re lying and aren’t…

Good for you, I guess.

Nope...neeeeever been a celebration of a white person’s cornrows.

intersectional feminism became a thing bc of mainstream feminism’s/feminism’s beginnings were focused solely/continue to focus on white,cis,financially stable women. you’reusing it in the wrong way.

Class plays a part but let’s be very clear that black and white women operating in the same worlds - those with time, money and able to get to the gym after their single full-time job - are not similarly chic to the larger population. At all. That’s what she’s getting at.

and focusing on black women doesn’t negate what other women go through either.

One of the main problems with appropriation is the way that when white women appropriate black features (or styles: see nail art, cornrows, etc), society suddenly treats these feature/styles as beautiful thanks to the transformative power of whiteness. So when Kylie posts a picture of her new lips and cornrows to…

She’s basically saying that white women are celebrated for doing things that black women do. Black women twerking? Disgusting and ghetto. White women twerking? Cute and fun. Black women wearing cornrows? Ghetto. White women wearing cornrows? Chic.

FUCKING AMANDLA STENBERG FOR PRESIDENT OF EVERYTHING
