Blue And Bluer: Hello, fellow white people! →
redlightpolitics:
stfuconfederates:
This is going to be raw and merciless. I am, in all seriousness, warning you. If you identify as transable or transethnic, unfollow, stop reading, walk away. You’ll notice that I prefaced this as pertaining to white people.
Oh, I see Tumblr has caught up with the “transabled community”. I, too, was appalled when I learned about it (only yesterday, however,...

Regarding this financial aid wank going around my dash:
I’ve worked in FA off and on for like, the last 5 or so years (most recently as an FA counselor at a for-profit, at least until I moved back east and became funemployed) and quite honestly the average person has no fucking clue how higher ed financing works in the...

Nerds and Male Privilege →
femjeymas:
“I want to tell you a story.
A few years ago, I was dating a girl who was decidedly not nerd curious. She tolerated my geeky interests with a certain bemused air but definitely didn’t participate in ‘em… not even setting foot inside a comic store on new comic day. She’d wait outside until I was done… which could be a while, since I was friends with several of the staff.

Christopher Hitchens, angry white guy →
fuckyeahmarxismleninism:
By Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report
There was nothing witty, cute, or endearing about the late Christopher Hitchens, a racist to the core whose association with the Left served only to discredit it. Beneath his mutterings against ‘Islamofascism’ he was nothing more than an angry white guy who wanted brown people to be conquered or dead. A man of many prejudices...

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:
Income inequality in the U.S. is currently the highest its been since the 1920s, with the 400 richest Americans (who are all billionaires) having as much wealth as the bottom 50 percent of Americans combined. And as it turns out, just one wealthy family has managed to amass a fortune equal to that of the combined net worth of the bottom 30 percent of Americans — the...

Rio's Cemetery of New Blacks sheds light on the... →
Locals called it the “cemetery of the new blacks”, but in truth it wasn’t much of a cemetery. Devoid of headstones, wreaths or tearful mourners, this squalid harbourside burial ground was the final resting place for thousands of Africans shipped into slavery.
