TRUMP, MUSK DEMOLISHED ON S. AFRICAN LAND REFORM In January, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a new law designed to address historical land-ownership inequalities against Black people. This ticked off US President Donald Trump, who threatened to cut aid to Pretoria, which, according to him, is doing ‘terrible’ things to ‘certain groups’ of citizens - meaning White people. However, some of the alleged ‘victims’ have called his bluff - among them, the White South African content creator in this clip. @honestappraisal1, who has built a reputation for his on-point political commentary, says Trump is not just racist but also ignorant regarding South Africa’s history and social and economic reality. He argues that Trump’s misinformed position results from his fraternising with South African right-wing elements and his tech-bro sidekick, Elon Musk (who was born in South Africa) - noting that most of the opposition towards the country’s land-reform programme is racially motivated by those who benefitted from the apartheid system.

Trump's lewd remarks in re Arnold Palmer startled me. But I realized that over his campaigns for President dick size has come up over and over.

When I was around eight years old I remember having a conversation about racism and prejudice. I don't quite remember the words she used. But what she told me was you can be prejudiced, but it's unlikely that whoever you're prejudiced against will even notice. The person you're hurting is you because your prejudice might prevent you from knowing a person you'll really want to know.

Later that year we moved from Cumberland, Maryland to Greenville, South Carolina. It was 1964 so the Civil Rights struggle was in the news. I was just a kid and I remember that in some circles there was a concerted effort to teach racism and inculcate white supremacy.

Somehow even as a ten year old I smelled bullshit with some of the stories told. I doubt that I thought about penis size at that age, so I'm not sure when I first encountered the the trope that Black men have huge penises. The fact of the matter never seemed the important part to me, instead the important part was it seemed like one of those creepy racist stories.

Now that I'm old I have a little more sense of how unaware I was and am about so much of my education in whiteness. But I am grateful that my mother presented the idea of a world where's you and lots of beautiful people you can meet.

We all suffer when we make our worlds us and them.

I fucking hate this

[stilltrails]

anyway i'll randomly be hit with the realization that black people were slaves in america, were freed with essentially no financial security and still made indentured servants or sharecroppers, were terrorized by white people and other minority groups, got our rights somewhat, and we're just here, now and still very not okay as a people.

the trauma black people experienced is so very, very recent. I don't think we truly ever got in a place of neutrality. racism just finds a way to recreate itself.

and society kinda just gaslit black americans into thinking it wasn't that bad.

anyway there's my mlk day reflection

also going on the wikipedia page for hamas literally says this??? israelis and zionists have been trying to correct native arabic speakers on their own language for fucking years, it’s so embarrassing and actually baffling, i can’t be assed being polite to you assholes anymore

i feel the need to reiterate that "hamas" also happens to be a regular arabic word that means "fervour", "excitement" or "passion" because i feel like in some time we'll start seeing arabs being "called out" because someone heard them speak the word

One thing I noticed in this shitshow of an episode is how fucking ungrateful Stolas was for everything Blitzø did for him since he came to his place.

Him being a spoiled rich white asshole:

I hate his facial expressions so much, you have no idea

I can guarantee you care about these 'nice things' more than you care about your daughter btw

Oh, we also have, let's see here...

*insert the entire montage of Blitzø (Stolas' victim) trying to cheer his abuser up since he's now in love with him thanks to good ol' Stockholm Syndrome*

Seeing that cigarette reminds me of when Stolas uh... *checks notes* called Blitz an 'itty bitty imp (racist)' despite him clearly hating it, grabbed his cheek and used his horn to put out his cigarette (not to mention Blitzø's severe trauma being related to fucking fire)

Okay so anyway, I think Stolas said "Oh, when have you ever asked" bc Blitzø stole from him and his family 25 years ago. correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't it manipulative af to bring up smth that happened that long ago, also it's totally unrelated to the current situation. I swear it's like a grown ass man saying to another "Oh I still hate you because, uhm, remember that one time in 3rd grade when you stole my pencil..."

So... if Stolas still holds this against Blitzø, let me ask: why was he ever "in love" with him in the first place? Answer? He wasn't. Stolas only used this imp for his sexual fantasies and for him to get to experience his "fairytale romance"

P.S. Imps are a race his privileged ass has always been racist towards and he hasn't ever attempted to, uh... try to understand them better? Understand how they live? I mean if you truly cared about your "boyfriend," Stolas, you'd have put in SOME effort to change your mindset/behavior and WOULDN'T HAVE EVER SEXUALLY COERCED HIM

He also 🍇d you blitz

And no he didn't do much, he's powerful af. Using those powers isn't rocket science heck he turned an imp to stone in s1 he can protect himself but is apparently the "bottom" in the stolitz "relationship". Also no, him leaving Octavia clearly isn't a huge deal to Stolas otherwise he'd have fought to earn her forgiveness and not just sulk like a wimpy loser. YOU ARE NOT ONLY A GROWN MAN STOLAS, BUT A FATHER. At least you were supposed to be

So was not thinking about your daughter until you lost everything, apparently

AGAIN WITH THIS SHIT??? WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A TRANSACTION AGAIN

Alright I'm signing off until the next season drops, if that ever happens

This episode sucked, but kudos to our girl Via who was smart enough to see through her "father's" bs 👏

ALSO HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO THE CRITICAL COMMUNITY (and to non-toxic stans too)!

"The decision from Judge Tanya M. Jones Bosier is meant to fulfill a $2.8 million default judgment entered against the Proud Boys by a different judge in DC in 2023 to get back damages incurred by the church during the December 2020 attack.

The two-page ruling says that all the group’s interests in the “Proud Boys” trademark will be transferred to the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church and that the organization and people associated with it must first get consent from the DC church to use the mark or sell any merchandise containing it."

Making Valentines merch of your ship that's mainly focused around abuse, S/A, and class/racial discrimination (where the lower-class, implied POC is seen as chained to his abuser) as a cop and prisoner (with the victim being the cop and the abuser being the prisoner) is...a choice...

Not necessarily a good one...

also the pixeled-out bit on Blitz's side is just 🤢

[kainekillinggod]

ok but racism and fatphobia in the queer community is crazy btw. Like sometime you gotta ask,

Are they butch/masc or are they a poc? Are they fem or are they white? Are they androgynous or are they skinny? Is their hair style choice non conforming or is it just not straight/fluffy? Honestly sometimes I see some strange things being said up in here, and irl too. I just. Idk mann

In light of the reveal of Abel's complete design, have this dumb doodle i made on magma a week ago based on an interaction my bsf @plushtoothpanic acted out while we were joking about Vivziepop's lack of diversity(the dog character is his sona).

Also, rant below involving Abel, I don't want this to become a critical blog since Hazbin has held a special place in my heart since 2021, but oh my God I am so sick of the shit that Vivzie is pulling

Making Adam white was already quite a choice, I had a pretty specific vision of a dark-skinned curly-haired man before his face was revealed. Although I had been expecting a biblically-accurate Adam, I didn't mind having him white as long as Eve wasn't made white as well.

Abel's design throws this out the window.

First let's focus on Abel being the child of Adam and Eve. This means Eve is white, and likely also blonde. Historically, the first humans were East/South African, and not white. Ok, well what about biblically? The popular depictions of biblical figures are mainly European interpretations from when Europe adapted the Bible and made all the figures pale, like them. It's more likely that the dark-skinned writers that originally complied stories into the Bible meant for the figures to look more like them. It would make more sense if one or both of them was dark.

Saint Peter is a whole nother' piss drawer that I don't wanna open, but whitewashing an actual human being that existed is just so gross.

Now, the other thing I wanna talk about that talks less about race and more about theories surrounding Abel being blonde... People were already theorizing that maybe one of the kids was Lucifer's spawn because of the implied affair with Eve. It wasn't the most popular theory but now it's making a comeback with the reveal of Abel's complete design.

I dislike this theory(besides the fact that it's just stupid) because

1. Cain is Adam and Eve's firstborn son. Abel is their second. Even if Eve and Lucifer had an affair in Eden, that would result in Cain, not Abel. Also we aren't entirely aware of Lucifer's powers involving entering the living world but I doubt he can canonically go there, or at least not after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden, since Hell was made as a punishment for him and any mortal that sins and I don't think he would be able to waltz back to Earth that easily. I suppose maybe they could be twins and Cain could just have been the first one born, but I don't think that's usually what "firstborn" implies, or how it's generally interpreted?

2. This is gonna look really bad on Lucifer's part?? Like, this implies that Lilith left Adam for Lucifer, then Lucifer got with Eve(possibly cheating on Lilith if she wasn't aware/didn't consent to the affair) and cucked Adam for a second time???? Lucifer would straight-up be getting the Stolas treatment where they keep making him more and more shitty then try to justify it anyways. Cmon guys.. I wanna be able to cheer for Lucifer too but he doesn't seem remorseful at all for anything he's done, more like he's been playing the victim for a decamillennium despite being a possible cheater and the one who destroyed Adam and Eve's life.

3. How would this be plot-relevant at all?? My closest guess is to make a disconnect from Adam like "oh he was never my ACTUAL father anyways" and also to try and make a bond with Abel and Charlie being blood-related so he would decide to side with her or something. Also on top of that I hate the whole trope of someone suddenly not giving a fuck about the parents who raised them in favor of their biological parents who didn't raise them. It's a dumb trope and if this theory is canon and they pull something like that.... ughh.

yeah. Overall, too many Aryans, pleasepleasepleaseplease pleaseeep please don't make Eve white even though I know they will anyways, and if that stupid theory is true then Lucifer is a snake-tongued, home-wrecking, unfaithful pile of shit that is disguised as a poor depressed dad that the fandom eats up and woobifies. Not that I don't want him to have flaws, but he doesn't seem very sorry for what he did(he has his whole snake and apple motif, that's like saying you feel guilty for a murder then using the hyper-specific murder weapon as your symbol) and also Abel being his son would be such an unnecessary plotline that would make him look soooo so so so so much worse because he wouldn't have much of a wholesome excuse for that.

The only good things I'm getting out of this are that I can post about Abel without having to tag it as leaks and also people are cracking jokes about Abel being the son of Lucifer and Adam

I’m not new to this kind of stuff, but it does hurt still. Very much.

tw for racism and racial slurs under the cut

This was a comment left on the series I was so excited to write and share with y’all. I am excited to write and share. But this comment is not only extremely hateful, it’s also extremely unsettling with how casually they hurled a loaded insult at me.

“Spic” is a very serious thing to call someone. It’s a racial slur that I’ve heard before, had aimed at me before, and it’s not a good feeling.

I preface a lot of fics with detailed tags and warnings. From angst to the reader insert I’d written in more of an OC and formatted like an x reader. I’ve explained a few times while I use English a lot in my daily life, it is not my first language. Pronunciation and some nuances are lost on me but is more noticeable in my academic writing for university.

This is a hobby. This is something I indulge in because it makes me happy and telling stories is the most genuine human thing we do.

To be targeted like this and in the barrage of hateful anons lately really takes the fun out of it. And I hate that that’s my takeaway in an otherwise positive little corner I’ve found here.

I don’t really have anything else to say other than this type of behavior is not okay. It’s demeaning, it’s steeped in ignorance and malice. It makes me feel way too many things and my voice isn’t quite working on the matter beyond this.

I try to keep it positive here, to interact with intention and kindness. With good words and compliments but I feel like something needed to be said about this.

Please block this user and please be kind to one another.

We really need to talk about how freaks use “gay rights” to defend awful and disgusting behavior in media. It’s so stupid.

You don’t like that trash ass fan fiction website with child porn of real life children and racist content like slave fics? You’re an awful person who is against gay rights and is for full blown censorship!

You don’t like that movie where a teenager is going out with a grown ass man and is written by a pedophile? You are homophobic.

You don’t like the creepy “magical girl” anime where middle schoolers are sexually assaulted by multiple things including tentacles in graphic detail and is made for lolicon freaks? You hate lesbians and love to demonize their freedom of speech.

Deep down, they know that this kind of stuff is creepy and that no one likes it. So they latch on to a real issue to defend their sick fantasies
