This is how children of color are treated in schools, people, especially brown children. How will this child trust teachers actually care about her again? Huh? Tell me that.

The teacher tried to brush this shit off and say it was “just a joke.” Yeah… because humiliating a child in a classroom full of her peers is just fucking hilarious. I’m willing to put money on the fact that she’d never do this shit to a nice little white child.

That teacher was dead ass wrong but her mom should also have been making sure that her homework was getting done.

yeah because it’s not like moms have any reason to not be able to do that or anything

like being poor

or being unable to help with or do the work

or trying to keep a roof over her head or food on her table

or anything

If this mom has time to call the news and be interviewed, she has time to check her daughter’s homework. Yes, the teacher is most likely a racist asshole. As an educator she should not have humiliated her student. But who is really doing anything positive in this situation to help that little girl? Race and poverty are a reality, I see it every single day with the students my own mother teaches. There really are parents who don’t or do not have the fucking basic things necessary to ALLOW themselves to care what their children are doing in school. And that is most certainly a result of a system designed to keep us PoC down and out. But in this case, it seems like if her mother cared enough to make this public, when many parents would NOT, she should’ve cared enough to check her 8 year old’s homework. And this isn’t a matter of placing blame, because no matter what she is not to blame for that piece of shit teacher and her actions.

are you fucking forreal

are

you

fucking

for

real

doe

the mother did what was likely an hour’s worth of interview and that is equal to having the time to check a child’s homework every single night for 180+ days a year?

where do you people learn math because seriously

her daughter was enrolled in a homework assistance program.. shouldn’t her homework be checked by whoevers her tutor.

"So if you – the oppressed – hurt someone’s feelings, you’re just like the oppressor, right? Wrong. Oppression is not about hurt feelings. It is about the rights and opportunities that are not afforded to you because you belong to a certain group of people. When you use a racist slur you imply that non-whiteness is a bad thing, and thus publicly reinforce a system that denies POC the rights and opportunities of white people. Calling a white person a racist fuckhead doesn’t do any of that. Yes, it’s not very nice. And how effective it is as a tactic is definitely up for debate (that’s a whole other blog post). But it’s not oppression."

this is so embarrassingly problematic against so many people wooow, “war”, yeah get fucked, pretty sure period pains/being a white woman isn’t as bad as “war”. what about people who actually do this to respect their culture?

way to just shit on everybody, you radscum pieces of shit

ugh, white feminism

“the epitome of self love and feminism is playing in your period blood lol”

let’s all just post pretty photos of colourful art, controversial photos of white people taking back the word “slut” (excluding WoC) and riot grrrl bullshit, hairy women for the point of “smashing the patriarchy” and occasionally reblogging over-sexualised photos of trans women of colour, print screens of ‘chick flicks’ and disregard all other peoples ~

and ofcourse this was reblogged by girl-farts

im sick of this shit and I hope you all are too

haha, get over yourself. my interpretation of feminism is just as valid as yours, regardless of my race. the fact that you are hating on me just proves that you are in the wrong. you’re expelling negative energy for no real gain except to elevate yourself; we’re both women and we’re both fighting for the same thing, why do you have to attack my work? invest yourself in something beneficial to the cause, please.

Wow this is the best response ever, I’m tired of people trying to bring race into feminism and attacking the views of white women. 

lulllllz. i can’t even engage with this image but the fact that someone feels comfortable saying:

I’m tired of people trying to bring race into feminism and attacking the views of white women. 

is just so fucking pathetically typical and disgusting. Ain’t nobody trying to bring race into feminism. It’s there inherently.

But no…..

won’t somebody puhleaze think of the white women!? 

nobody ever thinks of the white women!

and fuck annmuddy for misgendering and talking over someone.

gross.

bitch, i will not be putting period blood on my face and calling it war because

a) i got real ass prollums so i dont need to create more (rotting, decaying matter on my face is a prollum and it got shit to do w war)

b) those of us who grew up in actual war-zone areas dont need to put blood on our faces to feel special. we can walk outside and see literal bloody death.

and this bitch is tired of having to think about anyone but white women. how novel!

"Why am I compelled to write?… Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger… To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispel the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit… Finally I write because I’m scared of writing, but I’m more scared of not writing."
