Finally decided to start supporting some Youtubers on Patreon... I didn’t realize that they give little rewards for as low as $1 a month! I’m feeling super good about money right now anyways because the new tax plan doesn’t negatively affect grads at Cornell (which would have suuuucked). Anyways here are some Youtubers I found on Patreon who you should like, at least check out the channels of:

- Electroboom: hilarious videos about electrical experiments, featuring a splendid set of eyebrows

- Hartbeat: funny and genuine videos about being queer and being incredibly talented and awesome

- OnlyBlackGirl: witty and incisive videos about racial issues in America, with focus on the topic of trans-racial adoption

Day 1: The History of Black History Month⠀ ⠀ ✌️ (1926) Started as "Negro History Week", during 2nd week of february by Carter G Woodson & the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History.⠀ ✌️The date was chosen because it coincided with Lincoln's and Frederick Douglass's birthdays (so now you know it has nothing to do with it being the shortest month)⠀ ✌️The goal was to advocate coordinated teaching of American blacks in public schools⠀ ✌️ Over many decades, it inspired the creation of black history clubs, progressive whites to get involved and teachers to start advocating in school to teach black history. ⠀ ✌️ 1969, Black history MONTH was proposed by black educators at Kent State University. 6 years later, it gained national popularity across public school of all educational levels. ⠀ ✌️President Gerald Ford recognized black history month as important in 1973 saying Americans needed to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history."⠀ "If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have to worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don’t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one." - Carter G. Woodson. The Mis-Education of the Negro⠀ ✌️✌️✌️⠀ #BlackHistoryMonth #CarterGWoodson #Education #onlyblackgirl #blackhistory365 #blackbloggers

If I Accidentally Punch You In the Face Did You Still Get Punched? Look, just because you didn’t 'mean' to offend, doesn’t mean it’s not offensive. Just because your actions don’t carry any consequences for you, doesn’t mean they don’t to anyone else. You may not understand why touching black people’s hair is racist and offensive, but guess what it is. We’re not zoo animals. Your actions and words still hurt people no matter your intent. If I punch you in the face on accident—you still got punched in the face and your face is going to hurt. But because I didn’t 'mean' to punch you, I’m freed of all responsibility and have no need to apologize, right? I think your black eye would say otherwise.

White people are weaponizing the police to be paid assasins to kill Black people. (clip from a video by OnlyBlackGirl)

"Our current president ran as a law-and-order candidate in a country with a long history where the notion of using the police as the foot soldiers of controlling African-Americans, limiting their freedom, deciding that they are indeed second-class citizens and enforcing those laws when they were legal in this country is a really big part of the problem. And to evoke that mantra, to run on that mantra, to elicit the support of the entire community of professional police agencies means that we've now got citizens who are playing out this policy choice, this set of politics. And that's a big, big deal." (Khalil Muhammad)

No one was talking about lynching Neeson. All we said was that he a racist and anyone defending him was ignorant. Also who is this "y'all" that was victim blaming Terry? Cause the ones calling him out are the same ones who were defending him with how he handled his sexual assault.

I respect the hell out of Terry Crews and everything he’s done for the #MeToo movement, but I’m never gonna forget that he defended Liam Neeson and when other Black folks called him out (as was to be expected), he called them the “black taliban” and made them out to be senselessly angry/unwilling to come up with a “solution” - because apparently racism is the black community’s responsibility to fix 😂 (also, nobody asked him to kill Liam Neeson??? Lmao 😶) Imma need you to get it together, my guy.
