Fun fact

Native Americans weren’t allowed US citizenship until 1924.

Let that sink in. We lived here first…for thousands of years. And less than a hundred years ago we were finally given citizenship.

We also fought in WWI despite not being US citizens.

In Arizona, natives weren’t granted the right to vote until 1948. Think how that type of neglect ties into resource colonization as infrastructure was developed within years prior.

In addition: the indigenous peoples of Canada were not recognized as Human Beings until the year 1960.
Now let that shit sink in.

In the US it wasn’t until 1968 that the Indian Civil Rights Act was passed and allowed for the right to freedom of speech / assembly / press, a jury trial, the right to an attorney etc. It’s so fucking frustrating.

beoriseyo

and it wasn’t until 1978 that we were legally allowed to practice our own religions. in a nation founded on religious freedoms, it was illegal to practice our own religions. in our own country. how fucked up is that?

wtfzurtopic

Aaaand Native Americans weren’t entitled to their own languages (had no legal rights to teach them in their schools, use them in business) until the Native American Language Act of 1990.

Donald Trump isn’t a Republican issue or a rich people issue or a human issue. Donald Trump is a white people issue. Whenever Ben Carson says batshit crazy nonsense, Black people rise up, and let him know that he needs to STFU. Whenever Raven-Symone pops off, we put her cap back on. We even handled Rachel Dolezal for you. Yes, we also make jokes and come up with clever memes and hashtags, but at the core of all that is that we are letting these people know that they are embarrassing us as Black people. It is time, white people, for you to finally step up and recognize that you also (even more so) have a responsibility to your race. It is up to you to silence Donald Trump. Don’t just insult him and make fun of him. You have to connect it to your race, Recognize that he is embarrassing you as a white person. Simple snark won’t win here. You have to feel it. You have to use words like “as a white person” and “he is an embarrassment to my race.” Stop acting like Trump isn’t the pinnacle and the result of America’s history and tradition of white supremacy. And again, I don’t care if you had no plans to vote for Trump or anybody, if you are white, he is your problem above all else. Simply put, white people, come get your boy.

This is Hermione. Be like Hermione

This is Hermione Jean Granger. Simply Hermione for most.

She’s known as the sole female member of the famous big trio who helped defeat the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

Hermione is a muggle born witch. This means she’s part of the marginalized in the wizarding world. It was like a double curse; to be a woman in a male-dominated world and to come from a powerless ancestry in a society where the majority is power-hungry and obsessed.

But, that didn’t stop Hermione from becoming the most brilliant witch of her time.

She may not always address her haters, but she stands up for those who are looked down. She defends and protects others’ rights.

When the love of her life left in the middle of a crisis, she chose to stay with her friend Harry. She helped her in an impossible and uncertain mission, while they were clueless, young and vulnerable, risking danger, and even death.

She relentlessly helped look for objects that can help fight and put an end to the terror that threatened their world, as well as those of the oblivious muggles.

She didn’t let heartbreak paralyze her, consume her, and keep her from doing what she must do.

She was willing to come with her friend Harry to face his death, risking her own life.

Hermione may look weak, but she’s the strongest, bravest, boldest, woman to ever walk on earth (fictional as she may be).

This is Hermione. Be like Hermione.
