Good morning to everyone except The Supreme Court

"i believe in our institutions" is the definitive centrist take

Never forget our lives are easier because of the sacrifices of our black and trans brothers and sisters who are STILL dealing with prejudice and discrimination on a scale the broader gay community hasn't experienced in twenty years or more. Because of people like her we are free, while people just like her are marginalized, brutalized and murdered.

Additionally - who was one of the first celebrity Alt-Right figures?

Tila Fucking Tequila, a Vietnamese woman who comes from a family of refugees. No white supremacist disavowed her. She was welcomed into their fold, because she's hot and cute and perky and highly antisemitic.

Now that I've laid out all of this... are we still surprised at how many male white supremacists are dating/married to Asian women?

Here's a little personal testimony on this: from my own life, my Chinese mother has told me many times how relieved her mother was when she announced her engagement to my white dad - "at least it wasn't a Black man." Anti-blackness is a PROBLEM in our communities, but it's rarely/if ever addressed.

There are way more resources but anyways...

Racial hierarchies are not simply a Western thing. Asian countries also have their own fucked-up racial and ethnic hierarchies while also absorbing some of the aspects of Western racism. This means that anti-blackness is RAMPANT in Asia AND Asian diasporas.

So that's something these two groups have in common - scumbags and these women share a mutual distrust and hatred of black people, globally and in the US.

These male white supremacists/alt-righters (heretofore referred to as scumbags) often have unchecked raging Asian fetishes, which, as we know, come from a long ass legacy of Western imperialism in East and Southeast Asia (we can talk about South Asia too but right now I'm focusing on E and SE Asia).

Check out "White Sexual Imperialism: A Theory of Asian Feminist Jurisprudence" for more concrete history behind fetishizing Asian women. http://bit.ly/1hWtVDF

unlearn your Islamophobia.

(this all especially applies to communist Muslim women!!)

hello just a general psa

you can't be too specific with your content warnings.

if something is about trauma, what kind? (sexual trauma, parental abuse, etc)
if you're posting news about death/hate crimes, what kind? (islamophobia, police brutality, etc)
nsfw can also mean many things, so it may be best to include 1-2 words about what exactly is being talked about (sex, genitals, bdsm, kinks, etc.)

it allows people to disengage more effectively, or to read with choice more effectively.

gonna toot this out actually: if you ever want to learn a bit about PRC governance and policy, the state council provide an online record of policy-making, policy documents and white papers in english at http://english.gov.cn/

Being a black woman is so exhausting and you're magic for just existing, really.
