Call things what they are. By using the language of your oppressors, you are being complicit in your own oppression. Do not normalize this. This is not normal, and we sure as fuck shouldn’t sanitize it.
I’m not a professional historian, but my teacher had a special interest in WWII and what led up to it. And this? This is exactly how the Nazi regime started. They normalized it, edged a bit further, that got normalized too, and by the time major shit was going down, it was too fucking late.
We need to make sure it’s not too fucking late this time. “Never again” needs to mean something.
I’m drowning in my tear. This is the happiest Doom family I have ever seen. And the happiest Kristoff. He is loved. He has parents. His father really really love him and hug him and thinks him worthy and he is not Vernard then there is the ending…..#tears
I’m not saying they are good ones or saints or whatever… I JUST WANT TO SEE MY KRISTOFF TOTALLY HAPPY AT LEAST IN AU BUT THE ENDING IS….#crying
Voldemort was a real dick in a historical sense I mean he took Slytherin’s locket, Ravenclaw’s diadem and Hufflepuff’s cup and made them horcruxes, leading to them all being destroyed. We know that the diadem had magical properties, and that Gryffindor’s sword was a magically crafted weapon. Honestly I’d have a hard time believing Hufflepuff and Slytherin’s things didn’t have magical properties as well. The locket(before being made into a horcrux) probably only opened to true Slytherins and held their secrets for them. The cup must have supplied resources, or strengthened whatever drink that was put into it to benefit the drinker. Hufflepuff did something rad with that cup. We’ll never know tho exactly what because Voldemort had a huge ass ego and wanted to put his ugly soul in it.
Honestly Voldemort just sucked in every way possible. The only exception would be that he led to the possibility of someone being in possession of all the hallows. I’m also curious though as to how the resurrection stone was affected by being a horcrux. Was the horcrux the stone or the ring itself? Did Voldemort ever use the stone? Is there a chance that he had tracked down the invisibility cloak? Giving him extra motivation to kill the Potters? Honestly JK Rowling shouldn’t have made Pottermore she should have just written a giant ass encyclopedia explaining all these things.

Ruby Bridges was the first black child to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana during the New Orleans school desegregation crisis in 1960.
This movie made me cry, I was so heart broken by how Ruby Bridges was treated! She was only 6, but was so strong. She is a very brave girl and she did not care what the white folks called her.
People are simply disgusting to minimize people by skin color!
Ruby you might not think you’re a hero… But to other people you are! You are A HERO and you are A PERSON WHO MADE AMERICA CHANGE!
this is white culture, this is their history, this is their legacy…being enraged at a damn baby just because she’s black.
she’s still alive by the way
Ruby Bridges in 2010
“As Bridges describes it, “Driving up I could see the crowd, but living in New Orleans, I actually thought it was Mardi Gras. There was a large crowd of people outside of the school. They were throwing things and shouting, and that sort of goes on in New Orleans at Mardi Gras.“ Former United States Deputy Marshal Charles Burks later recalled, “She showed a lot of courage. She never cried. She didn’t whimper. She just marched along like a little soldier, and we’re all very very proud of her.“
U.S. Marshals escorted Bridges to and from school
As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all the teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled. Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Henry taught her alone, “as if she were teaching a whole class.”
Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, allowed Ruby to eat only the food that she brought from home.
Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges Hall has said “scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us.” At her mother’s suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.”
THIS SHIT WAS ONLY 58 YEARS AGO. PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS RACIST TERRORISM AND ACTS LIKE IT ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THEIR KIDS ARE IN THEIR 40′S AND 50′S.
DON’T LET RACISM APOLOGISTS GET AWAY WITH “WHY ARE YOU LIVING IN THE PAST,” BULLSHIT ARGUMENTS. WE ARE LITERALLY STILL DEALING WITH THE FAMILIES THAT FORMED HATE MOBS OVER BLACK CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL WITH WHITE KIDS.
This was her then:
This is literally how she looks in 2017.
She’s literally not even old.
Some of those people in that crowd are VOTING this year. Their children raised by them are voting this year. And they want to Make America Great Again.
