Uprising: When the violence is directed towards the oppressor

Problem is, she’s sixteen. So, naturally, she’s going to be dismissed just because of her age when she has wisdom to say by way too many people.

Exactly. Did you hear they have the lowest teen pregnancy rates ever, the lowest violent crime rates ever, and the highest percentage ever say their parents are their totally bestest friends? Kinds these days are friggen awesome. Why does everyone try to paint them as deranged sociopaths with smart phones??

A surprising number of them are, contrary to popular belief.

This comment isn’t creepy at all.

I don’t know what’s sadder

Now now, we’ve all been dicks about something or another, I was a dick to her about her name too until someone told me to google it.

Thanks for the info! Now I feel like a dick.

I’m also impressed by the people/persons who started the hashtag #BaltimoreUprising because rephrasing what’s happening in Baltimore to an Uprising really does change the narrative. And while saying (and getting the media to say) uprising rather than riot or even protest won’t change the minds of your average fox newz…

Amandla is a common South African name, it means Power in the Xhosa and Zulu language and was a protest call for blacks in the apartheid struggle. I used to think her name was silly too until I looked it up

Can she please run against Hilary? She’s got my vote.

The people who love it all identify with district 12... they don’t realize that they are actually residents of the Capitol.

This girl needs to get out of Hollywood and get to Washington. She is going places.

As cheesy at it is to compare real life to young adult novels I am 100% confused as to how Hunger Games can we one of the most popular media franchises in the country yet so many of those exact same fans don’t support the oppressed IRL in their own country.

That quote, tho:

That’s exactly what this is. He could have children with literally 100s of other women. This is some creepy control move and going public like this is fucked up.

“We” are omnivores and have adapted to consume all kinds of food. I mean, I’m not a plant, does that mean I should stay out of the sun because I don’t photosynthesize.

You will wrest my milk from my dead Scandinavian body. Also, it’s like one of three drinks I can even drink anymore cause of allergies. I think I will go have a glass of milk right now. Milk.

frankly i’m amazed that i can even hold down a job nowadays after have two oreos after lunch during my childhood
