can one of you f1 girlies become a journalist and interview the drivers who refused to take a knee because they wanted to fight racism in a different way/disagreed with how blm went about seeking justice and ask them, now that nearly 3 years have passed since the may protests, what steps they've taken to educate themselves on racism? what actions they've taken to improve things for people of colour within formula one/motorsports as a whole? or how they've gone about promoting racial equity in their own country?

#f1 #formula one #its been long enough surely they must have made some headway? right? (: ? #no those dumb fucking black and white anti racism videos dont count because their vagueness allowed #for them to be co-opted by white people who believe racism exists and that the whole of blm/equality movements are racist to them #from what ive seen literally only lewis has taken action to set up foundations and research groups focusing #on improving racial diversity at both grassroots and professional levels #others have given lip service but genuinely if another driver has been helpful in fighting racism in motorsports do mention #it would be a very very pleasant surprise #because the whole we race as one movement was very much image control #it was always going to be down to lewis and the other poc in the sport like zhou or yuki to fight against the unique and #insidious racism they face in the sport. ultimately the others won't because while racism is a problem they have #and causes problems for others. they see it as a problem they're not responsible for solving #and im sure most of them genuinely truly dont think theyre racist. dont know how their actions can enforce racism #but lewis has stood there and explained over and over again both behind closed doors and tv screens #and at a certain point that continued refusal to listen or engage becomes active and malicious ignorance #and that makes you racist. whether they believe that of themselves or not.

god i feel so fucking bad for the trans women/transfem people on this site now it's like existing in a minefield

#luptxt #i mean it's always been that way for a Lot of groups (see: blm/black users/'adult' workers/etc) but now they're really just #face off going for anything #i'm nb masc so honestly probably 'in the clear' but it's so fucked up

If you let your opinions go unchecked and unchallenged, you can not move forward and grow.

#blm #black lives matter #dani #this this this. #i thought it was impossible for me to hold racist biases because i had such a diverse friend group when i was younger #but it turned out that there were things i still had to work on #if you're white you absolutely have been taught some shitty things about other races from childhood #and if its not your family that teaches you #then its school movies tv church etc that teaches you #you HAVE to always check yourself

I'm sorry but what the fuck do people expect to accomplish by """"planning"""" protests literally less than a handful of days or even fucking HOURS before they're ""planned"" to take place? This is why so many (particularly INTERNET) protests have fucking crashed and burned. Even if your posts go viral, you are NOT reaching an effective amount of people in such a short time span AND you are not giving the people who DO see it an effective opportunity to participate ESPECIALLY if you are asking for things like "don't spend money at xyz" or even worse "don't GO anywhere" especially when it's "don't go to WORK" People need time to prepare for these things. Some people protesting is better than none of course, but you are literally asking for failure trying to "set up" these protests by informing people at the last possible fucking second. Especially because I know more than half of y'all aren't doing the local/community work ahead of time by gathering your own friends/family/community to participate either. You are asking to fail. Learn how to organize properly if you expect this shit to work for the love of god

#mud rambles #this isn't even about any singular post I've been seeing it SO MUCH lately #but even while the BLM protests were in full swing a few years ago I'd see this shit #Like do y'all ever learn??? #the most effective protests have been the ones planned enough in advance to give people the ability to plan for them AND ones where the #organizers have already done a lot of legwork beforehand in getting their own community guaranteed to participate and aid in spreading word #this is not to say guerilla protests with a concentrated group AREN'T effective because they very much are but again #the organizers of those have made sure they have the support for it #AND all these last minute 'protests' call for large scale action that can't reasonably be accommodated for by the amount of people it would #need in the first place MUCH LESS actually get out to that fucking amount of people #and it's frustrating!!!!!! #because really all you're fucking doing at that point is diverting attention from actually well planned and thought out protests! #it's such an individualistic mindset to expect your random social media post about not going fucking grocery shopping to actually work #and protests are effective because of COMMUNITY ORGANIZING #anyway. yeah. just needed to get this one off of my chest cause it's been BREWING for a while

Coffee stop stranger to my friend watching a TikTok video: “A terrorist organization uses that phrase to call for jihad, just so you know.”

Me playing dumb because I know this person is just being Arabophobic and Islamophobic: “Which phrase? Alhamdulillah?”

*a pause while they “think” because they don’t know Arabic and have no clue what they’re actually arguing against*

Them: “Yeah. You kids need to stop saying it. It makes people uncomfortable.”

Me: “THANK GOD you were here to tell us. Where would we be without you?”

Old people are so bold and they love to comment on things that are none of their damn business 😑

#A terrorist organization uses a version of this phrase! #okay… so… that means what? #that kids in the US calling & protesting for peace. freedom. and a ceasefire actually want mass death and wide violence? #I’m sure someone would unironically answer ‘yes’ #And it’s just… mmmmmh. No. #critical thinking could be your friend #just because it makes you uncomfy does not mean it’s violence #Skinhead terrorists in the US use the acronym ‘ACAB’ #but no one serious would accuse a black person who supports BLM of being a skinhead calling for police deaths during the ‘day of the rope’ #nor would anyone serious suggest that ‘ACAB’ in response to police brutality against black people is a white supremacist slogan #A yt person saying: ‘ACAB makes me uncomfy’ and pointing to the fact terrorist groups use it in reference to hanging ‘race traitors’ #is not evidence that black people are calling for widespread violence and mass death against yt ppl (even tho yt ppl may argue so) #your assumption that anyone who uses the phrase is a terrorist and is using it to commit and encourage terror and mass death #is nothing short of arabophobia #believe it or not. Arab people. phrases. political movements. customs. and culture are not inherently violent #Palestinian liberation does not see rights the same way you do #It’s not a zero-sum game #there’s no pie of rights where ‘more for you means less for me’ #believe it or not. one people’s rights do not come at the expense of another people’s rights #but I know you think they do given privileges come at the expense of rights #going around demanding random Arabs (esp. Palestinians) and Muslims ‘condemn Hamas’ #every time they advocate for Palestinian liberation #is just as Arabophobic or Islamophobic #as it is antisemitic to demand random Jews condemn Zionism or the Israeli govt. #every time they express the sentiment: ‘Gee. I feel like I’d be more welcome and comfortable in a Jewish-dominant and majority nation.’

what if i just started blogging exclusively about the problems with wild horses in the western united states. what then

#look at me. look at me. they're an invasive species with significant negative ecological impacts #the wild horse advocacy groups are lying to you. #some of them are outright misrepresenting the science some of them are genuinely misguided #it doesn't matter. they're wrong #the 'positives' do not balance out the negatives #also all the drama about horses getting injured during round-ups is manufactured #the mortality rate of blm roundups is approximately 1% #that's ridiculously good for a wildlife roundup #look at me #they are not a native species #it doesn't matter that they evolved here before colonization #because that breed DIED OUT and when they were reintroduced #it was thousands of years later to an ecosystem that they are NOT co-evolved with #i am so serious right now #this is like. the perfect case study of everything wrong with science communication #and news media #and pop culture narratives #there is SO MUCH misinformation that can't be corrected bc of systemic issues with access to scientific information!!! #sorry i'm just turning in a very long paper about this today so the thoughts are percolating

On the eve of Black History Month this year, a community group based in Detroit went viral after sharing clips on social media of its members, many dressed in all-black and armed with long rifles, assisting women around the city by pumping gas into their vehicles and loading groceries into their cars.

The group’s open display of guns — broadly legal in Michigan — was greeted by many people not for being threatening but for protecting Black women in dangerous neighborhoods at night.

The group, New Era Detroit, has been carrying out this kind of public safety work in the city’s most crime-ridden streets for almost a decade.

“We do this out of love,” Nilajah Alonzo, one of the leaders of New Era Detroit, told Yahoo News.

The group’s Instagram page includes videos of members escorting child care workers home late at night from a daycare only a block from where a murder had recently taken place. Another social media post shows members hosting a workshop with children on conflict resolution.

“We're not trying to be crime heroes or anything like that,” Alonzo said. “We're just trying to educate and uplift our community.”

Launched in August 2014, New Era Detroit was founded by Zeek Williams as a call to action for Black men in the city to step up and be more present to combat rampant crime and violence in poverty-stricken areas around the city. The appeal went out as muggings of women in and around grocery stores and gas stations were becoming more prevalent.

The group calls itself a “mudroots” organization because of its approach.

“We say ‘mudroot,’ because we get under the grass, we get into the mud, we get into the community, we get into the streets, we get into the 'hoods, to connect with people and engage with them,” Alonzo said. “So they know that there are people out there that care.”

In the last decade, Detroit has consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous big cities in the U.S. In 2022, while preliminary police data showed an 11% reduction in violent crime over the previous year, carjackings increased by 21%, and other property crimes, including burglaries, saw a significant spike. In addressing these issues, the goal of New Era Detroit, according to Williams, has been predicated on the idea that with structure, Black people can protect and serve their own neighborhoods and streets.

“We want to be in a position to where, if things pop off or something happens in our community, it doesn’t always have to involve police,” Williams told MSNBC earlier this month, adding that the organization's members carry guns not to incite violence, but to protect innocent people. “We believe that able-bodied men can step up to the plate and do more to police their community.”

The group has managed to maintain a working relationship with the city’s police force.

“We have a good relationship with New Era Detroit,” Detroit Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jordan Hall told Yahoo News. “We even have an understanding where they give us a call [ahead of events], so nothing should be alarming for officers when they see anyone with a rifle.”

Detroit’s challenges are complex and rooted in its Rust Belt history. Once the global center of the automotive industry, Detroit was the fourth-largest city in the U.S. in the 1920s. Its population ballooned to nearly 2 million residents at its peak in 1950. But automation curbed the blue-collar employment boom. Racial tensions grew, and deadly riots rocked the city in 1967, as tens of thousands of white residents left for the suburbs. Detroit struggled financially, and in 2013, it became the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy. Today, it has the highest rate of concentrated poverty of the 25 largest metropolitan areas in the United States.

In the past seven decades, the steady decline in the city’s population, of which Black people make up 77%, has left the city with just a third of its peak total.

In a show of progress, the city has been working to turn itself around, with the emergence of new restaurants and bars, a growing art scene and a revitalized downtown area. But a study from Michigan State University revealed that much of the progress has been limited to a 7-square-mile radius, in a city of 139 square miles.

That leaves a wide swath of the city where residents feel they’ve been left behind.

“We are looking at a system that really isn’t broke. It just hasn’t had us in mind — or protecting us in mind,” Williams told NBC. “Why don’t we do more to police our own communities?”

Many people liken Williams’s New Era Detroit to the original Black Panther Party, which grew out of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Founded by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, Calif., in 1966, its intent was for Black residents to act as vigilantes in their own communities. As they evolved, the Panthers began to arm themselves, in a show of force, often dressed in a uniform of blue shirts, black pants, black leather jackets and black berets. However, unlike the Detroit organization, which seeks primarily to address issues like crime in its own community, the Black Panthers sought to protect Black residents from instances of police brutality.

“The Panthers were really focused on potential police violence toward people in the community,” the journalist Mark Whitaker, author of “Saying It Loud: 1966 — The Year Black Power Challenged the Civil Rights Movement,” told Yahoo News. “New Era are just as concerned about the danger that ordinary, law-abiding citizens in the inner city face from other Black folks who might do them harm. … So for young people to help protect other people in the community, I think it's wonderful to see.”

Other cities with similar challenges have taken notice. The original Detroit group, under the umbrella New Era Nation, has formed more than a dozen chapters, in cities including Dallas, Atlanta, Cleveland and Baltimore. The movement of self-sufficiency, according to Alonzo, has also attracted interest abroad, in Jamaica, the U.K. and Nigeria.

“We are all leaders, and the opportunity is given to everyone to lead,” she said. “We have chapters in every city, so it’s not going to die with one person. We set up a structure that someone is in charge, no matter what. We appreciate that we are compared to other groups, but if we perpetuate that we are all leaders, it cannot die.”

Whitaker cautions against scaling up too fast, too soon.

“The lesson of the Black Power period is to stay local,” he said. “That’s where you can do the most good, and that’s where people most need you, and people aren’t being adequately served by police or local government.”

its disappointing seeing (primarily white) people take concepts and frameworks that were developed in the context of systemic oppression and try to turn it into identity politics and when that ultimately doesn't work bc these concepts were not created to be individual labels/exact experiences of Every Single Individual but were coined to describe a trend or group experience or type of oppression etc these same ppl will turn around and demonize the entire framework, completely neglecting the original context and instead try to coin thousands of redundant concepts rooted in interpersonal validity that skirt around the original concept but never hit the nail on the head because they cant understand the missing piece is often community real world experiences

#doesnt work #and it also in their eyes bc they hear a word and half understand the basics of a concept #then try to teach it #and when ppl out of that group hear it and start parroting the butchered version of the concept they realize they were wrong #but rather than take a step back and acknowledge they have contributed to misinformation #they would rather demonize the frameworks in general and often end up being bigoted with buzzwords #but its ok bc they're white and obviously know everything /s #and this isnt abt one specific thing either its abt this entire phenomenon #and its frustrating to see it happen time and time again #esp bc the things that are often taken up and butchered are usually frameworks and concepts developed by black feminists #i inherently dont trust yts bc of this too #bc so many of yall will scream blm to the top of your lungs #but are so ready to jump on the vitriol towards any theory created by black women specifically #and would rather give dead white men forgiveness and build on their concepts than even try to understand black feminist theory in any way
