A Black couple living in Dallas say their 2-week-old daughter was taken from them because they decided to have a home birth with a midwife.
Home-births and midwifery services are increasingly sought out by Black pregnant people and families over traditional hospital settings amid a mounting maternal mortality crisis exacerbated by systemic medical racism. Black pregnant people are three to four times more likely than white pregnant people to die from pregnancy-related causes, per the CDC.
When Black pregnant people and families can’t feel safe seeking pregnancy and birth-related services from the hospital, and can’t feel safe choosing home births and home care options that draw police attention.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
My Mum's friend comes in visit. She is kind, BUT (!!!!) too racist. Because in her Life she dealt in majority of cases with disrespectful and not kind people of other races. And when I am saying that every race has less or more educated people and that every small tribe or population has own laws of existing and habits, she and my Mum laughing badly and saying that I had never deal with THAT kind of "blackish"... Well, I suppose I am not... But I definitely dealt with people of colour that called everyone "stupid monkeys" and with other kind that were with most educated and gentle ways of habits. Sometimes they were very loud, sometimes very silent. But definitely we cannot hate people for their race.
I am immigrant too. Actually living for half of my Life in completely different country and culture that I was raised first. It's not only about the race and education. It's about the Life Way. Sometimes people becoming more aggressive, something more loud. I am white and part of LGBTQI2APX+ Community. But I was not really "blessed" by white privilege. I know what means when also in smallest innocent Ways people unconsciously presume where must be my place because thinking with bias is less hard. As if everyone is fitting in same boxes...
So many was told first. So many shall be said after...
It's sort of weird to explain, but i feel like it is xenophobic of north americans to treat south americans terrible on the basis that we make "racist" jokes. Because it has become something of a cultural artifact down here, we make jokes about asian people and jewish people and so on :3 and it is a beautiful tradition that i feel gets me discriminated from even tolerant spaces. This feels especially hypocritical of north americans when taking into account how their governments have been the ones responsible for the most harm (by far) to other peoples! It looks like yet another branch of twisted western ideology seeping into every culture, and i will not let it happen >:3
United States, you may manage to take our land, our economic independence, our country, but you will never take our racist jokes >>>:3
What Racial Fetishising looks and sounds like.

Oh so true! Never thought of this way
This isn’t OK
There hasn’t been nearly enough awareness on this, but there has been a huge spike in hate crimes against the Asian community during the pandemic, and that’s seriously messed up. Never under any circumstance is it alright to hate someone for their race, and Asians are NOT responsible for the pandemic.
Even if one of the conspiracy theories somehow came out to be true and the pandemic was somehow purposefully engineered, that would be the fault of those few select persons- definitely not their entire race. We’re all suffering through this pandemic TOGETHER, and we need to support one another, NOT go around looking for someone to point a finger at. It’s horrific that anyone could reason that these kinds of acts are in any way justifiable, and it’s not okay that this has been going on.
Lot’s of love to any of you folks reading this. Stay strong and keep trooping, you amazing humans!

Pixar has also released two of their short films on YouTube to show support, and I’d definitely recommend checking them out if you haven’t seen them(maybe bring a few tissues, though)! If anyone’s curious, their titles are “Float” and “Wind”.
Our World
I really want to say this because I thought this was important for everyone to know. We are all trapped in a fantasy. Where it’s great and we don’t worry about anything when we should be living in reality! Because of our decisions, we don’t have peace with some countries! Some of us have more than what others have and those people still stay positive. They hope that they’ll have what we have someday. Lately, I’ve opened my eyes to see what this world has become. And it’s not great. Nowadays people are being racist, polluting this planet, some only care for themselves and not the world. We all rely on ourselves and have lost trust with people because of bullying and others lying. Refugees from around the world hide from us because they’re scared we’ll do something bad to them. They just want to live normal lives like us but for some reason, we won’t let them. We all think that this world is great. That it’s developing more and more by the day, but it's not. It’s getting worse. People get bullied more often and commit suicide because of it. We pollute this planet every day by filling the air with toxins. We don’t do much to help our world. The earth. Us. We all need to start living in this reality and dealing with it. Helping it. Because this is our world now. And we have to fix it.

When I was growing up I was taught not to judge a person no matter their race or religion was or if they were gay. Imagine my surprise when I hear my own parents, the people who taught me these values making racist, homophobic, and transphobic comments. One fourth of july my mother saw a Muslim family. The mother and eldest daughter were wearing hijabs and started talking about how Muslims treat their women horribly, ect.
My father often goes on rants about Mexicans. We had a couple living next door a few years ago who had dark skin. Guess what he referred to them as even though we didn't know their race? He called them the "Mexicans". He also said it in a way like he "knew" they were somehow illegally in the country with no proof. They have, to my knowledge, never said any of this to the people they so blatantly have so much prejudice towards, this does NOT in way make any of it okay.
Apparently what they actually meant was me and my siblings have to be nice to assholes they're friends with instead of people who actually deserve it. I never knew I could be this disappointed with someone who I previously thought would never say these things about other people for any other reason than prejudice.
You definitely know when someone is a closet racist when their excuse for not writing a POC character is because “I don’t know how to write for them” like what do you mean by that exactly? You are writing fiction. It’s fantasy so you don’t need anything special to write for them, you are just a lazy racist that won’t acknowledge it.
I will never understand why y’all feel the need to address a young black girls skin color, just because she is not what you imagined as Annabeth, Annabeth and her skin color are two separate things, Leah sava Jeffries is very much aware she is not the described book “accurate” Annabeth Rick riordan originally wrote, but those books were written literally almost 19 years ago, Rick picked her, and yall need to leave her alone, stop mentioning her skin color everytime you see her on social media, she’s a person just like the rest of us. End of story.
May Allah protect and honour our men. Ameen.
You know.... I FUCKING HATE ALL OF THE STUPID ASS RACIST PEOPLE OUT THERE!!!!!!!! THIS WHOLE RACISM SHIT SHOULD NOT BE STILL HAPPENING AND THEY SHOULD WAKE THE FUCK UP AND REALIZE THAT EVERYONE IS EQUAL!!!!! IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!
A Disclaimer
Some people might find this extremely disturbing. Trigger warning, there is mentions of homophobia, racism, and suicide. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY TRIGGERED
Something has come to my attention and I feel like I should speak about as someone who likes Sakusa’s character. (I will try to avoid posting these kinds of things on my blog from now on because I want it to be a place where people can enjoy my work).
I saw there was a #sakusa hate night tag and clicked on it seeing what it was about and I am currently disgusted by what I read.
If you didn’t know, people have been making headcanons of Sakusa being homophobic and racist and it’s hysterical to me that the Haikyu!! fandom has a particularly large gay/LGBTQ+, LGBTQ+ ally, and POC fan base yet makes headcanons about certain characters (Sakusa, Tsukkishima, to name a few) being homophobic and racist and using the #sakusa hate night tag to spread it. Quite frankly, it’s ironic and embarrassing.
And the people who are doing this just so happen to be POC, Gay/LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ+ allies. If you are doing this, you are literally contradicting yourself. You are spreading homophobia and racism and it needs to stop. (To the person who said you liked to make jokes about racism and homophobia, you are undermining the decades of discrimination people went through. Some people were killed for being who they are and it is still happening now. You disgust me.) They are creating headcanons that are not even remotely close to their canon character. I am not saying this on the behalf of just Sakusa but also some other Haikyu!! characters who are also accused of being homophobic or racist and the fandom continues to enforce it or do nothing about it. Racism and homophobia can’t be justified as jokes and humor, it’s sickening and simply downplays the trauma of what it’s like to be LGBTQ+ and/or a POC.
Huge trigger warning ahead: Mention of suicide.
It even went as far as almost making someone commit suicide because of the headcanons they made about Sakusa. If you are really bold enough to accuse a fictional character of being homophobic and racist because you think it’s fun, then please turn on your comments on your posts because you are part of the problem. Jokes about homophobia and racism is not humor, it’s utter disrespect. You also claim that the information you put on Sakusa’s Wiki page about how he was homophobic and racist was ‘true’. How?
It hurts even more that Sakusa’s meticulous and perfectionistic like qualities is something I am able to relate to while there are people who will make harmful assumptions about a character who some people enjoy. (And don’t pull the ‘it’s because he gives off that vibe’ excuse or that was your first impression of him. He is in the manga and if you paid close attention, you would be able to see that he is not homophobic or racist.)
I am not saying you are not allowed to dislike a character and if you do, it’s not that hard to keep it to yourself, but to make accusations and hurtful headcanons about a character can actually hurt the people who can actually relate to them. If you dislike them because of a headcanon you came up with or that’s your first impression of them and you didn’t actually analyze and do any research about them, then that’s where the line is crossed.
Before you attack me for being pressed about this and calling me petty, this is more severe than you think it is. The people who are doing this are being homophobic and racist even though they might say otherwise.
If you don’t like what I said then please feel free to block me, but I would like to make it clear I do not tolerate homophobia and racism whatsoever. Even though I only have a small following on this platform, I am determined to make this blog a safe place for others.
If you are curious about what sakusa hate night is about, it’s pretty easy to search up, but please be cautious. Some of the stuff under that tag is disturbing and may trigger some people. I only ask you be aware.
I don’t like asking for likes and reblogs, but this is so important so please reblog and like this post. This is something everybody should be aware about. (Yes, I will post something else soon, don’t worry.)
