We need to stop normalizing war and calamity with specific countries and regions. When we do that it causes massive lack of care from people outside of these circles because they “expect” violence and suffering. When we think about countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Middle Eastern and African countries because of the association with war, death, and poverty people in the west do not jump to help. It’s intolerance and apathy at its core. Remember this when you watch the news. None of this is normal. Imagine if this was your family.

#like no one really associates the US with war on part with our media but the image we project #being the biggest English majority speaking country we can get our news out quicker and because it’s western ppl will take it more seriously #i feel this way with associating Black people with the horrible things afflicted on us by everyone else as well #slavery hypersexuality and violence are commonly depicted with us so we’re devalued in the eyes of others #when brutality happens to us it’s to be expected #33000 people died. Syria was already in shambles how can they rebuild esp with sanctions on them #whose helping these people #this is a psychological explanation but of course the root cause is racism #also like people NONSTOP talked abt Ukraine (valid) but the entire Middle East has been like….got even prior to this earthquake
