Racism, Zionism, & Dehumanization for refugees
Dear White People… (by DearWhitePeople)
let’s make this a real movie
Moses’ wife was fuckin African!
I’m so tired of all this racist zionist bullshit Israelites and wackass White South Africans are pulling on the TRUE people of Israel
Here I want to delve into what I’m calling hipster anti-racism. It’s a term I’m using to describe those moments when (usually) white folks perform anti-racist/liberatory attitudes about a racialized issue in an attempt to appear subversive and often “hip.”
Unlike hipster racism, it is not a performance of ironic racism but actually a performance of anti-racist attitude as a signifier of hipness. It is important to understand that hipster anti-racism can be performed by anyone, not just those we characteristically label as hipsters. Hipster anti-racism is defined by by being 1) insincere, 2) momentary, 3) subversive for the sake of being hip and not for a deeper dismantling of systems of power and oppression, and 4) present in rhetoric almost exclusively, with little indication of substantive shifts towards anti-racist behavior or action.
In other words, hipster anti-racism, like much of hipsterdom, is defined by its appropriation and lack of historicity. In this case, it is an anti-racism that is not making an effort to link itself into broader histories and communities of anti-racist struggle. Note that I don’t think every instance of momentary engagement with race and racialization is an instance of hipster anti-racism. Those moments, could, after all, signify the beginnings of an awakening to ideas of privilege/power and anti-racism. It is only when someone’s anti-racism is only and continually displayed through those momentary engagements (rather than a deeper and more actionable shift in consciousness) that I think it wanders into the category of hipster anti-racism. I’m not saying we all have to (or can) become full-time anti-racist activists, but I am saying that if you’re going to talk about racism all the time, your actions had better align a little better with your rhetoric.

Absolutely, I’ll clarify.
To return the comment y’all so ungraciously deleted, what I said was this:
Clarifying question: Does this mean y’all are also officially enacting a ban on fake afros too? Or is it just simply not ok to appropriate Mexican culture but ok to appropriate Black…
“If you can’t have a
dialogue about race and racism,
things you don’t experience and
just don’t know anything about
other than what your white peers
tell you, without getting angry and
defensive, perhaps you shouldn’t
be playing black music”

THAT FOREVER
Real talk, I support Tom and Co. in all their other non appropriative music related endeavors but I’ve never set foot at HF due to the personal problems the existence of the event itself pulls up for me…the 2 most glaring being brown people suffering from hella internalized oppression and many a privileged hipster homo dancing at a small space in what used to be an unsafe part of the mission {i still avoid it out of habit} feeling cultured because they’re dancin to soul which is only fresh and engaging to them because they grew up without it in their households (and it doesn’t require much rhythm to dance to)
DISMANTLE THE KLU KLUX KLAN IN AMERICA MR. PRESIDENT. AMERICA WANTING JUSTICE FOR ALL (by pourouge12)
Justice for Hate Crime against Lakota Sioux Elder Vernon Traversie!
Why This Is Important
Vernon Traversie, a member and resident of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota came home from a 14-day stay in the hospital to find he had been horribly mutilated. Three Ks can be easily seen carved or burned into his abdomen in the shocking photograph taken the day after he came home.
The victim is age 68 and completely blind. Vernon Traversie’s nightmare began when he had a heart attack while at the Heart Doctors office in Rapid City last August. He was immediately sent a few blocks away to Rapid City Regional Hospital for emergency surgery. Being blind, Traversie didn’t even know what was done to him until a RCRH employee came into his room and advised him to have pictures taken of his chest and abdomen as soon as he got home. She said she could not testify on his behalf, but that her conscience got the best of her and she did not agree with what had been done to him.
The tribal police, FBI, and Traversie’s pastor all have photographs of the suspicious wounds.
Traversie is a Lakota elder, who may have been the victim of a vicious hate crime, and his case deserves investigation. Nothing is being done on his behalf by law enforcement. Traversie had retained a lawyer and waited seven months for his Rapid City attorney to take action on his behalf. He posted a video on youtube because his attorney took no action and had told him not to speak about his case. It is not uncommon for lawyers in the Rapid City area to refuse or neglect cases of injustice toward American Indians because of fear the association will hurt business, or because of personal prejudice. The threat of racism and discrimination is ever present in this part of the country. Traversie has since ended his contract with said attorney and tribal officials are working to find someone to take his case.
Please sign this petition on behalf of Vernon Traversie. American Indian elders should be protected against this kinda of vicious abuse. We ask that the State Attorney General of South Dakota, Marty Jackley, investigate the hate crime against Vernon Traversie. We want racism and hate crimes against our American Indian community to end.

They ran out of real insults, so now they’re doing stream of consciousness and hoping it stings.

Oh my heart! Blessed be the stupideth! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Muther eff’n MOON CRICKET!
Moon Cricket is an old term for the sound lynched black bodies made swinging in the wind or the sounds of gas escaping their lips as their corpses were stacked. Blessed be the ignorant who don’t know their roots

I am tired of talking about ‘whiteness’, tired of responding to and negotiating it, being assaulted by it, being drained by it. Here’s why, literally EVERYTHING that could be said about racism and white supremacy has already been said.
