#I'm a human supremecist

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

Do you ever think about the fact that Lyla could've easily told Miguel about Gwen seeing Miles or The Spot escaping as soon as Gwen told Jess?

and that considering she's a literal program and Miguels creation it would make perfect sense for her to rat on Gwen to him

But in that moment she didn't, because she actively chose not to - giving Jessica and Gwen the option to fix it without Miguel knowing

And that in the end Lyla DIDN'T tell Miguel. And Miguel only found out about everything once the hole opened in Mumbattan.

Do you ever think about that? Lyla exhibiting free will?? I do. I do a lot. I'm scared 😭

We talk about 'oh Jess was gonna tell Miguel-' LYLA COULD'VE TOLD HIM IMMEDIATELY. And she just... CHOSE not to???

DOES LYLA HAVE FREE WILL????

Did Miguel give her free will or did she just... develop it??? Does he know she can just.. decide to not cooperate with him? Or even lie to him if she wanted?

If Lyla can choose to lie about this... could she be choosing to lie about cano-

I'M SCARED SHE'S TOO POWERFUL

Introducing this blog! :D

Using this blog to post and share about my ocs, their universes, ideas I have about them, some scenarios I think about in my head and dont want to write too legnthyly about. I'll make a list pretty soon I think introducting them by name and section them off. I really hope I get to meet some other cool people and get to talk about ocs with! Please interact with any post on this blog! I'm not too familiar with tumblr but ask me anything about them I really like to chat with people and it helps me build more about them.

A significant amount of my ocs are based in fantasy settings also. I have a few in modern or futuristic ones.

One more detail! I'll introduce my main oc groups names and a bit about them.

The main one I write about and think of are a family of vampire ocs. Their family name is the Ichors. Each vampire is named after a flower or plant. They are vampire supremecists, in their universe (called avalon), this means they view vampires as the superior humanoid species. This belief is most held by the older members of it like Marigold (she's the matriarch) she views other humanoid species as simply less capable or views humans specifically like a wild animal, often finding cute or a little irratating. Primrose is more of a violent vampire supremecist for a time leading an army that over took human settlements and used them as livestock and slave labour. Forrest views them as ignornant masses needing their guidance. the Second generation of ichors are more forward thinking although still not thinking highly of them.

My second main group are known as the Anemoi, they're a band of four thieves each of their names based on the four winds. Zephyr 'Aither' Aodhein Blightengael is the main one I write for in this, but there is also Earuru, Bortaus, and Notasius.

I have plenty more ocs than this but I'll have to introduce them another time.

Xenophobic shitkicker. I'm surprised you're not flashing white supremacist symbols with that kind of crap you're spewing.

Phobia means irrational fear to something. My fear is not irrational, i have my reasons. The people come to my country are all from islamic countries and even tho they are running from sheria they want sheria law in my country, our women are not safe because they are not used to women who doesn’t cover they are filming our women even kids. Do you know how many of them we caught. My sisters can’t go outside at night bc they feel unsafe, mothers do not want to leave their kids outside playing. I would choose their happiness over any immigrant.

Thanks to our tax money they get free healthcare, home, they get money for every kid and they started making 9 kids so they could get money and they do not pay tax so they can sell and work and gain much more money than my own citizens. Our hospitals are filled to brim thanks to them, my citizens can’t get any appointments. They even get free scholarships to universities, my friend couldn’t go to nursing school bc she didn’t have money, there are so many people like her. When those people graduate they are opening terrorist flags as in their graduations.. much to think about.

They are also very aggressive, always yelling people or hitting them. Whenever they see a green patch of grass they sit and leave their mess behind. I am sorry but i do not have to see people pooping outside. One student killed a principal, stabbed him from heart for asking him to talk our language. They are refusing to talk our language and asking us to change.

You may say “ oh not all them, some people may be like this”… i do not care. I am not even considered white so im not a white supremecist. I just want my country back to way it is. Try living with them you shit, you guys only get a bit more educated nice ones in your country while we get people who doesn’t even think women are human.. if u do not live where i live shut up.

These are just TWO examples of many.. i would rather them be alive. Get more than 10 millions of muslim immigrant to your country who are okay with sheria and live.. you would go crazy in a week. I choose my citizens safety over anything.

Also your words means nothing to me. So u can send any hateful thing…

keme: we shouldn't act irrationally when faced with a problem zoe. we should react with level-headedness and deal with this issue peacefully; we must be better than those we're dealing with and not react aggressively!

also keme: *shoving pancakes into his mouth, ready to throw the FUCK down in an iHop parking lot at the drop of the hat bc his sister was catcalled*

According to a survey released last year 52 percent of white Americans said they believe discrimination against them is on par with discrimination faced by black people and other minorities. In Canada, a poll taken in 2014 showed that most Canadians don't think they're racist—84 percent claim they have friends of different racial backgrounds—but 32 percent make occasional racist comments, and 27 percent agree with racial stereotypes. Those ideas are at odds with each other, demonstrating a lack of understanding of the basic concept of racism.

Last week, news broke that Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef was born in Iran, not Afghanistan, as she'd been led to believe her whole life. The Globe and Mail revealed the truth about Monsef's birthplace, prompting Monsef's mom to admit she'd lied to her daughter about where she was actually born. Consequently, some accused Monsef of being deliberately deceitful to the public and even suggested that her citizenship should be revoked and that she should step down from her job. While many journalists were quick to back up the story as legitimate—and aspects of it might be—there seemed to be a resistance to even entertaining the possibility that a white politician who'd been born outside of Canada would not have faced the same level of scrutiny. For suggesting as much, in a story VICE published, I once again found myself being accused of racism against white people.

My default reaction to claims like this is to roll my eyes. But seeing as it's no longer just Twitter trolls who believe in reverse racism—white fragility probably accounts for a large part of Donald Trump's popularity—I decided to reach out to some social justice advocates to ask why they think a certain segment of white people get so defensive when minorities vocalize their oppression. And why groups like BLMTO are being painted as divisive and race baiting when really all they're doing is fighting for equality.

"When you're so deeply invested in your privilege, and in this case white privilege, racial equality feels like oppression," said Anthony Morgan, a Toronto-based civil and human rights lawyer.

Simply put, Morgan said reverse racism doesn't exist and a person who claims otherwise is "outing themselves as someone who has little to no experience or knowledge of what racism is."

Racism is based on a couple of things—historical, systemic oppression and power, Morgan explained. And as far as history goes, white people have never been persecuted for the colour of their skin—so there's no point comparing their experiences to those of black, brown, and Indigenous folks.

"It's slavery, colonialism, theft all kinds of violations on systemic proportions... versus feelings being hurt."

There's a difference, he noted, when white people who are in a position of power espouse a hatred of minorities than when it's done the other way around.

In April, BLMTO co-founder Yusra Khogali was highly criticized when a tweet of hers that said "Plz Allah give me strength not to cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today" was discovered.

But Morgan said even if all people of colour straight up said they hate white people, it wouldn't affect a white person's ability to get a job, an education, or increase the odds that they'd get carded or charged for a crime. "If all white people had that view [of black people], that would have a very dramatic life impact on the material reality of all those people."

The exclusion of white people in spaces created for minorities is another controversy that sometimes comes up in the media.

Last fall, flyers for a white students union popped up on a handful of Canadian university campuses. On its website, the group behind the campaign, Students for Western Civilization, claims schools are bombarded with the message that "only white people can be racist, because white people are the sole beneficiaries of this white supremecist (sic) system." To balance things out, a white students' union "would serve as a platform to promote and advance the political interests of Western peoples."

Meanwhile Ryerson University's Racialised Students' Collective received backlash for kicking two white journalism students out of a meeting because they weren't marginalized or racialized. Ditto when BLMTO refused to sell white Toronto musician Sima Xyn one of its protest T-shirts during this year's Pride Parade.

"Denying me service due to my race when I'm showing my support to the Toronto #blacklivematter movement is ironic and killing my human rights," Xyn tweeted at the time.

Debbie Douglas, executive director of the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants, broke down why none of the above can be considered racism but is instead, again, about hurt feelings.

"It's interesting that as soon as you de-centre whiteness, it becomes about people being anti-white," she said, noting that at a panel for queer black people she attended, some white people were asked to move to the back to make space for black people. A few were offended.

"Why is it that in a place created for black people to have a conversation amongst themselves... to talk about what it means to be black and queer, that white folks felt they had to be at the centre?"

Morgan added that creating something like a white students union or having White History Month would be redundant.

"If you look at pretty much every profession in which folks have gainful employment or relative social prestige, it's overwhelmingly white."

As for the rise of the white victim narrative, both said issues like economic downturn—particularly in the US, where working class Americans are finding themselves struggling financially—play a role. Immigration and anti-Muslim sentiments that stem from falsely equating Islam with radicalization is another factor. But it's also just a response to more people calling out racism.

Douglas said the only reason we're talking about race more right now is because of blatant incidents that can't be ignored—the police beating death of Ottawa man Abdirahman Abdi, or the fatal shooting of Colten Boushie, an Indigenous man from Saskatchewan are two recent examples.

"As soon as we begin to interrogate issues of racism people get uncomfortable with it and hence the pushback we're seeing," she said.

If your default reaction to these discussions is to see white people as victims of reverse racism, Morgan has some advice: educate yourself.

"Anybody who would want to use or identify something as reverse racist, I would strongly encourage them to stop for a moment... and really think seriously about the last time they really have taken the time to study or get a deep understanding of what racism is and how it impacts different communities."
