So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Is this true?

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”
You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

(reblogged in honor of my mother, who died of breast cancer, 11/13/97)
hello-missdolly
Reblog every time I see it. Roughly once a month.
Also please never forget the pink fracking drill bit
that’s right fracking you know, a process using chemicals known to cause cancer that leech into the water supply
It’s that time of year again, please remember Komen is the actual worst
Komen For The Cure is pretty much awful.
My mother died in 1996 from breast cancer. Most cancer charities are scams, in that people throw fancy parties and get rich off them and very little money goes into research or support for patients. Here are some vetted cancer charities that get good scores on Charity Navigator and pay medical expenses or fund research:

*whistles nonchalantly *
Palestinian throws a rock. Media : “terrorism”
Israel bombs people in their homes. Media : “self defense”.
Just to note, she was the *second* person he went after that day. The first, an elderly Vietnamese man named Ngoc Pham, also has a gofundme for his medical bills.

Happy indigenous peoples day!
this girl said the n word right after saying this so can we all stop using her as definitive anti-columbus meme
bruh she’s literally saying that she was called the n-word, what on Earth is yalls problem
hundondestiny
she said it the first time entirely unprompted.
she was asked (like everyone else in the video) to respond to the word redskin, she says “it’s offensive, offensive. When you use the term nigger or redskin”—there was literally no reason to bring the n word into it whatsoever because that wasn’t the topic at hand.
in a twisted irony, you can see how it’s possible to draw similarities to the harm in the word without saying it because people before her in the same video said “it’s derogatory the same way the n word and other disparaging language against minorities are derogatory”.
THEN she was asked if she’d ever been called redskin or other offensive terms
and that’s when she decided, again, to completely ignore the topic at hand and point out she was called a river n— in high school
and she had a bright ass smile on her face the whole time she was saying.
“she was called this” isn’t an excuse to repeat the language especially when the video was about anti-Native language in specific. non-Black people get called the n word because they are being compared to being as inferior as Black people are. it’s use still always harms Black people because at the end of the day a “normal” n—, versus river n— or sand n— and other “modified” versions of it, is a Black person. that’s what it means.
she didn’t need to say it and I seriously question why she was so gleeful about throwing that out when the video was about Native people’s reactions to redskin. there’s really no excuse.

This is a bad take though. They are saying what they were called. conveying the pain of what they went through. They don’t need an excuse. I don’t see how using the word to punctuate the evil and nastiness of the people that said it to them is harmful to black people. If you criticize this person, I’m really not sure you have empathy for the sorts of things that non-white people really have to put up with.
As an aside, yeah, they’re smiling when they say it. There are tons of reasons for this tone of voice. They’re probably still in utter disbelief that a real human said something so ignorant. Nervous laughter is a thing.
@zephyrnius if you’re not black you can’t use nigger, full stop. It doesn’t matter if they were called that, they can’t use it. You’re right that they don’t need an excuse, because there is no excuse that could justify it. It is still harmful to black people because it shows that you don’t care about the one line black people have repeatedly asked nonblacks not to cross. And I can’t believe that you genuinely said that criticizing a racist action means that you have no sympathy for nonwhites. Where is your sympathy for what black people have gone through?
mixed-apocalyptic
Black person of Indigenous decent here. Despite this video being the first time I’ve EVER heard river nigger as a slur, nigger is not her slur to reclaim, especially with the anti-Black in Indigenous communities and the fact that we were, and are, called niggers in the community.
So everyone saying “sHe WAs sAyIng sHE wAS CalLed tHat” you can stfu up because people like me, and Afro-Indigenous people eith far more tribal affiliation than I will ever have, have spoken up a out this exact same thing. We don’t support her.
Prairie Nigger. Sand Nigger. River Nigger. The slurs are about Black people and directed towards others as insults by comparing them to Black people. It’s not theirs to take back and non-Black Natives know that.
What she did was racist. It was anti-black. It minimizes an oppression that even her people participated in, as oppressors.
And if you’re mad about it, kiss my Afro-Indigenous ass and suck my dick from the back.

@zephyrnius I am LITERALLY Black and Cherokee, you ignorant bitch, my “take” on this will always supersede that of people who are neither Black nor Native. We have all been saying repeatedly why it isn’t okay, and if you choose to continue to ignore that then you have no place speaking up on anything in the first place.
And no, she wasn’t doing “nervous” laughter. I watched the video in context. She was not distraught nor upset in the way that other people were, and as someone who does nervous laugh / smile you can tell the difference between that and casual laughter, which is what she was doing.
She had no reason to use the word and even less reason to bring it up to begin with, if she wanted to talk about as other people did she should have said “terms like the n word or the c slur used against Asian people” instead of full on saying two slurs that don’t actually apply to her.
Stop speaking over us. You have no right.

DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY
I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.
I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
Do not give to the Salvation Army.
