i have to reblog this again because ugggh. 

THIS is how you do it. this is how break down a people. like the beginning. strip them of their language, along with everything else that makes them who they are.

and then they are yours.

White colonizers are evil

people in america think afrikaans IS the native language

but it’s actually mostly dutch and a little german. that’s why my translator friend picked it up in only a year from his native language, german. 

then again, a lot of americans think africa is a country, not a continent, so

For anyone wondering what we mean by “decolonizing” ourselves, this is it. It’s the effort of undoing centuries of beating our own cultures out of us.

Learning our ancestral languages, cultures, and traditions is an important but very difficult thing for us to be able to do.

honestly missionaries are evil. the idea of traveling the world to tell people Who Didnt Fucking Ask that their beliefs are wrong in the hopes that theyll adopt your beliefs seems sinister

An Inuit hunter asked the local missionary priest: “If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?”

“No,” said the priest, “not if you did not know.”

“Then why,” asked the Inuit earnestly, “did you tell me?”

Nevaeh now wears a scarf to cover several bald spots and her singed
hair. She was left with first-degree burns, but it could have been worse
according to Tanya Robinson, Nevaeh’s mother.

“The doctor told me her hairstyle saved her life,” Tanya recalled. “Had it been different, she might not be here.”

This isn’t the first time Nevaeh has experienced bullying. Two years ago, another student broke her thumb.

I’m walking into that school like

Hate crime. It should qualify as one.

Nevaeh is thirteen years old. This happened at Gompers School in the Philadelphia School District. The school district has not issued any comment, but y’all can make yours:

Samuel Gompers School

Address: 5701 Wynnefield Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19131

District: The School District of Philadelphia

Phone: (215) 581-5503

The School District of Philadelphia

Address: 

440 N Broad St, Philadelphia, PA 19130

Phone: 215-400-4000

This happened October 25, 2018. This isn’t some random post that won’t die. It’s happening now. Call. Demand accountability and this be treated as a hate crime.

Not to downplay the psychological effect of bullying, but bullying is like…not letting someone sit with you at lunch, or saying their clothes are ugly.

Setting someone on fire isn’t bullying; it’s attempted murder.

I
used to think the idea of aliens having human zoos was horrifying but
honestly if a bunch of aliens want to watch me sit and watch Netflix all
day in a cozy little environment where I don’t have to pay for rent or
food and they have human-specialist doctors on hand as needed, IDK,
like. I’d be all right with it.

white ppl: lol human zoos?? what a crazy made up concept! sounds fun! sign me up! lmao

Human zoos delighted white westerners in Europe and America as recently as 1958.

Correction: as recent as 2018.

aren’t the Jarawas like neighbours of the island of that untouched tribe that recently killed a missionary for Being An Idiot and invading their territory
