Corporate feminism vs real feminism

And look at how non threatening the Kendall/Pepsi cops are. In uniform, attractive, standing peacefully at the sidelines. Versus what we see at many peaceful protests with full on riot gear, instances with people getting sprayed, arrested, ect….its making it seem like protest cops are always peaceful and the real life protestsers must be doing something wrong. Way to go Pepsi

This is why I would not go back to a white therapist

abbiehollowdays

I might have shared this before, but I had a white therapist actually mimic rubbing her eyes while making baby crying sounds after I told her I was feeling alone and was isolating. (This was after a solid year of stress-induced insomnia, people quitting and being let go at work, having a close friend move out of state, and being in an accident.) Like…no empathy. No understanding.

In 2002, having spent more than three years in one residence for the first time in my life, I got called for jury duty. I show up on time, ready to serve. When we get to the voir dire, the lawyer says to me, “I see you’re an astrophysicist. What’s that?” I answer, “Astrophysics is the laws of physics, applied to the universe—the Big Bang, black holes, that sort of thing.” Then he asks, “What do you teach at Princeton?” and I say, “I teach a class on the evaluation of evidence and the relative unreliability of eyewitness testimony.” Five minutes later, I’m on the street. A few years later, jury duty again. The judge states that the defendant is charged with possession of 1,700 milligrams of cocaine. It was found on his body, he was arrested, and he is now on trial. This time, after the Q&A is over, the judge asks us whether there are any questions we’d like to ask the court, and I say, “Yes, Your Honor. Why did you say he was in possession of 1,700 milligrams of cocaine? That equals 1.7 grams. The ‘thousand’ cancels with the ‘milli-’ and you get 1.7 grams, which is less than the weight of a dime.” Again I’m out on the street.

They don’t want smart people on the jury.

They want people they can dupe into a guilty verdict, especially for poc

knowledgeequalsblackpower

Once again we are witnessing the true power of social media. You are hearing about this story because one man posted about his experience on Facebook at a Wild Wing [&]

“I said so you’re telling me I have to leave. She said I have a right to deny you service. I said so you’re asking me to leave because you’re upset because he was recording you, after we’ve waited for two hours, and after you’ve already pretty much discriminated on us, and she answered yes.”

My people, WAKE UP!!! IT’S BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON.. 50 YEARS… AND YOU CAN STILL BE DENIED THE RIGHT TO EAT WHEREVER YOU WANT! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!
