If studying-lgbtq-people inboxes you asking to take part in questions about LGBTQ people “to help her understand” DO NOT DO IT. It is Sophie M Herold, the girl from Germany who attacks LGBTQ people and outs them to others. She is transphobic, homophobic and one of the sickest people I know. And now she’s back with a cunning new plan to get you NAME, ADDRESS, BIRTH DATE, AND PHOTO.

This girl is dangerous, and for some reason is allowed to keep making new tumblr accounts. We’ve raised awareness before and it helped, so lets do it again before she puts another persons life in danger. She collects your information and gives it out to others, she has sent letters to peoples parents outing them, other people have gotten hurt because of her. Yes, hurt.

Even if we can’t stop her again, get this message out and stop others giving her information etc.

And Sophie, you should know by now not to fuck with me again, wrong move, buddy.

they’ve changed their url again it seems..

Whites took home a disproportionate share of income through the recession and slow recovery, but minorities are slowly starting to catch up, a new analysis of census data shows.

According to a study by Sentier Research, a private firm specializing in income statistics, non-Hispanic whites reaped 76 percent of the nation’s total wages and other income, even though they were just 64 percent of the population in 2010. The income share is down slightly from the 78 percent made by whites in mid-decade, reflecting the diminishing percentage of the country that is white and not Hispanic.

Asians are the only other group earning a higher share of total income than they represent in the population, about 5 percent.

Hispanics, who are the largest minority group at 16 percent, earn 9 percent of all income, up from about 8 percent in the middle of the decade. And blacks earn 8 percent, only a little higher over the decade, though they make up 13 percent of the nation.

The Sentier study of the American Community Survey income data collected between 2008 and 2010 adds another dimension to the studies of wealth and income made during a period of rapidly shifting demographics and economic uncertainty. Whites are a smaller proportion of the country with every passing year, while the Hispanic and Asian populations grew by double digits over the past decade.

In a report last fall, the Census Bureau said income inequality has increased during the recession, with large losses at the middle and bottom and small declines among the richest households. The Pew Research Center found a widening gap between the wealth accumulated by white households and the assets owned by blacks and Hispanics, who took the biggest hit from the housing bubble bursting and the recession’s job losses.

The latest data temper concerns about the recession’s long-term impact, particularly on minorities.

i guess to me, there’s just that open question of whether or not obama could effect serious change in racial inequality. on one hand, if he can advocate for LGBTQ rights, it would only make sense than he could do the same for PoC rights. but on the other hand i wonder if we assume the president has more power than he actually does. and honestly, i wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of the government he works with would be open to supporting LGBTQ rights, but not PoC rights, specifically black rights.

basically, i’m just not educated enough on it to feel strongly one way or the other. that article brings up a shit ton of amazing points. but i have to wonder if there even is an alternative. i have chosen to support a president who has consciously and openly wiped out hundreds of thousands of my own people, who has imprisoned and tortured them with no regard to international law or sanctions. and supporting a president who has no respect for muslim-americans, for our lives, safety, or privacy, that’s a blow to my pride.

but i have to wonder if there is any alternative currently.

regardless, there is absolutely nothing wrong with criticizing one’s president and government. and there is nothing that article said that i disagree with, per say. i suppose it’s more the sentiment of the article that i’m not sure i’m in agreement with.

they act like we live in this little bubble faaaaaar away from all white people and insult them from afar.

like, yall act like we have no white friends. no white teachers. no white bosses. 

and i think that’s the biggest telltale sign that these people just can’t handle their own racism. because they actually try to insinuate that all white people are just as racist as them, therefore we must hate all white people.

sorry, newsflash. there are plenty of white people who aren’t shitty human beings like you. and a lot of us enjoy having them in our lives.

the true generalizers are the racists, tbh, because they want to believe they’re getting shit solely because of their race. they want to generalize their entire race to be fuckheads just like them. they want to insinuate that we have this opinion. just so they can get out of examining their own disgusting behavior.

try again.

My manager is black. I was talking to her today about this blog and about all the posts about how evil white people are on tumblr and about how everyone who is not white is getting grouped by an acronym “PoC” or People of Colour, and she found it offensive and hurtful.

“I’m not any more colourful than you are, those words were used to define us and separate us, make us seem less human. I don’t want to be called that.”

omg i had no idea your manager was the ambassador of black people!!!!! that’s so cool!!!

Then stop treating white people as if they’re all ambassadors for white supremacy.

…sweetheart that doesn’t even make any sense.

i’ll treat you based on how you act. and you act like a white supremacist. :)
