I'M NOT PANICKING, I'M JUST VERY VERY CURIOUS

I can’t believe we live in a world where someone’s right to make a joke supersedes the right of a child to be treated like a human being worthy of respect.

A white man’s right to get praise through laughter is more important than the feelings and humanity of this young black child.

Why do white people thing telling poc how racist their family is funny?

How is your family actively hating my existence a joke?

I wrote a bunch of things in response to this and tumblr fucking deleted it:

They do this as a way of exerting their power and privilege over you

They do it to let you know that if someone says something racist they won’t respond to it at all

they’re telling you that they will date racists

marry racists

work for racists

hire racists

and probably have racist friends and children

and not do a damn thing about it but tell you about it like it doesn’t matter

because you don’t matter

The Ibrahim Scholarship Programmes →

dynamicafrica:

The Ibrahim Scholarships are a range of programmes to support aspiring leaders for the African continent. The scholarships reflect a range of priorities for African development.

From a focus on the education of women in Sudan to support for historically marginalised Nubian people in Egypt, the Foundation is committed to showcasing the best talent from the African continent, particularly amongst those groups who are often denied the opportunity to contribute to their society’s development.

Investing in the future of young people in Africa is key to improving the continent’s governance. The Foundation highlights areas in which dramatic impact can be demonstrated when young Africans are given the opportunities they deserve to build their own and their countries’ futures.

American University in Cairo

Yale plans to welcome a training center for interrogators to its campus. →

‎”As early as this April, Yale plans to welcome a training center for interrogators to its campus. The center’s primary goal would be to coach U.S. Special Forces on interviewing tactics designed to detect lies. Charles Morgan III, a professor of psychiatry who will head the project, calls these tactics ‘people skills.’ These techniques would be honed using New Haven’s immigrant community as subjects. Morgan hopes that by having soldiers practice their newly acquired techniques on ‘someone they can’t necessarily identify with’ (read: someone who is not white), they’ll be better prepared to do ‘the real thing’ abroad.”

Not that we were confused about the role of elite academic institutions, but this is almost cartoonishly direct..

OH MY GOD!
