“Don’t call Trump supporters nazis, it hurts their feelings.”

Yes, this is real (link to tweet). Yes, Tucker Carlson is literally repeating Nazi propaganda that aided the genocide of the Romani during the Holocaust. Yes, I am furious. 

(Also, although there is a large population of Romani in Romania, they aren’t indigenous to Romania. They’re a diasporic group originally from northern India.)

Romani and Jewish have been screaming at the top of their lungs for years about neo-fascism in Europe, and Americans were totally aloof.

Then neo-fascism reared its head in America, but Roma and Jews were left out of the conversation in terms of people being impacted, because our oppression was “over.”

Now Tucker Carlson is on live TV using slurs and Nazi propaganda about Romani people, and I’m 90% most people on the left are just going to ignore it.

It’s fucking starting y'all. It’s happening again.

If you’re not Jewish or Roma PLEASE BOOST THIS.

BecauseOF COURSE I’d come upon this thread just as the following video came across my YouTube feed:

{sigh} Just…

Am I the only one who looks at this and thinks they’re just trying NOT to openly ask “How does this genre full of Black people become the biggest thing in the world?”

Seriously, the people in this report have a reverence for rock music, so much as it’s defined by WHITE PEOPLE. (Nevermind the fact that rock music is also a creation of Black America.)

So yeah, a musical genre created by Black people is once again the biggest in the world. Deal with it.

Hey white women who follow me, read this thread. Maybe y'all will listen to her.

Y’all can start by showin’ some love for Black Panther next year the way fandoms of ALL COLOURSsupportedWonder Woman this year.

I asked the universe to describe 2017 White people in ten words or less.
This is how the universe responded.

but please white people, tell me how you’re the true targets of racism.

This is real. I’m telling you.

“But you guys get affirmative action” - white people.
Affirmative action still ain’t better than your white privilege.

white people want to talk about affirmative action? let’s talk about it then. 

so please…

You just think it’s a coincidence that POC all across the nation just happen to live in under funded and ignored communities? White people are just naturally what, better at making money? Lol bye. Educate yourself. Re blogging for all those dope ass sources.

The next time someone White says “You people need to pull yourselves up by the boot straps,” show them this thread.
