white europeans saying “wow america is so racist 😓 glad i live in a socialist utopia” baby honey sweetie where do you think white americans came from
all the racist europeans went to america as colonizers thus cleansing the
fake micro-continent of the agents of its #problematic heritage and leaving in their wake a post-racial egalitarian paradise 🥰Thing is, Europeans are racist, but for the most part they aren’t openly and violently racist in the way Americans are. Like you’re not gonna hear many stories about police officers murdering poc in cold blood in Europe. White nationalism is on the increase here as everywhere else but you won’t see people marching with racist banners nearly as often
Basically Europeans might be racist, but they also tend to hold themselves to a level of basic decency that Americans can never be bothered with

“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.
During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.
On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.
In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, “Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”
Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a "sinner” and already dead to her, and that she wouldn’t even claim his body when he died.
“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, “Oh, momma. I knew you’d come”, and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, “I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.
Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him
and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.
After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family’s large plot.
After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.
Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, "They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here’d come the money. That’s how we’d buy medicine, that’s how we’d pay rent. If it hadn’t been for the drag queens, I don’t know what we would have done”, Ruth said.
Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family’s plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.
For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the ‘Cemetery Angel’.”— by Ra-Ey Saley
She’s 60 now, she’s still doing activist and advocacy work, and working on a memoir.

“Capitalism made your-”
No. LABOUR made it. LABOUR made my phone, my laptop, the internet, this website, my clothing, my house, all social media, and everything else. LABOUR makes things, Capitalism doesn’t because economic systems don’t ‘make’ anything, they just determine who gets paid for making things.
Fuck it, making a full 3 in a row reblog.

This is so powerful and courageous. Police all over the country are pulling this despicable shit. They’re supposed to be protecting and serving. Monsters.
I’m disgusted at the behavior of these fucking police. How can people still be so racist, hateful and abusive in 2019?? We’ve had years to stop this shit. This is especially abhorrent in the case of cops. Major kudos to the lady who posted all this and defended the kids. I would’ve done the same, despite being afraid.
We need to end racism. We need to end the people who support it. It’s our generation’s turn to mold the world, and we’re gonna turn it into something amazing.
I think about instances like this a lot, and what I would do as a bystander. But this is America, so that is hypothetical for me. I literally am so white that I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a police officer doing anything but responding to accidents. That’s what the police do in white america. They take your report if someone steals something from you and help you if you get in a car accident. I’m literally not exaggerating. And neighborhoods are more segregated now than ever! So I have to make an effort to go to a neighborhood where police would be terrorizing people like this. Or where police would be at all. So racist. So traumatizing. Such a fucking farce.

Public Transportation Should be Free to the Public.
1) it’s already subsidized heavily so it wouldn’t cost that much more to just make it free
2) eliminates the need for fare enforcement which has been committing human rights abuses against mostly poor people of color and people with disabilities
3) would increase ridership and decrease global climate change
4) bus passes are like $100+ in some places and that can be the difference between eating or not eating for over 30% of Americans
5)our taxes already paying for it, paying fares is like making us pay twice
