You could do neither and not be a racist prick. Also a good way to not go to prison is to not commit crimes
Tfw they got the cause and effect backwards for racist opinions, and they excuse racism towards white people because they don’t commit as much crime proportionally
They do realize they don’t help the situation with stuff like this right?
Like it just makes racial tension worse, cause now they’re making general statements about race, and what would otherwise be a non racist white person may see this and think it’s evidence that black people hate them, so they act in kind
Oh noes this memes could cause previously non-racist white people to suddenly become racist! 🙄
Actually no, it’s just shitty and racist. It’s not okay to bully anyone based on their race, and you have no idea what struggles white people face.
Try fucking genocide and torture in South Africa Assdick.
I suppose the ArabSlaveTrade was just “white people being sad”?
It is common knowledge that, for over a thousand years, Arab and Muslim slavers took enormous numbers of men, women and children from sub-Saharan Africa. What is not so well known is that they took equally large numbers of people from Europe. As with Africa, Arab slave-taking in Europe began in the seventh century – shortly after the rise of Islam – and continued virtually without interruption into the modern epoch.
Just “white people being sad”, right? Let me ask you this. Since Muslims make up the vast majority of slave owners in the entire world both historically and even now since it is still practiced in parts of Africa and the Middle East, why are there never any “jokes” about “Muslim tears”? Why are the issues and struggles that Muslims face never reduced to “Muslims being sad”?
So privileged, right? Everyone knows about the enslavement of Africans, but how is it that most people seem completely clueless about the atrocities that Europeans have suffered throughout the centuries? Maybe because there’s an anti-white sentiment that’s spreading like herpes which causes people to suppress certain, inconvenient aspects of history? Hmmm…
Nope, nothing to see here. Just whypipo being sad sometimes. 😥
Oh, hey. Remember The Holocaust? Yeah, where nearly 5 millions Slavs were slaughtered and/or put in concentration camps in addition to the 6 million Jews?
Just look at these stupid whypipo and their white tears, amiright? Just look at them oppressing all those PoC while being too privileged to be oppressed themselves. Pipe down there, whitey. Pee oh cees are having real problems over here.
How many of y’all initially assumed this non-existent man was white? Because only white people would do that, right? Only white people can be racist, right? Only white people oppress and do bad things, right?
I could go on, but I’ve done enough of your research for you. You’re welcome.
Come on, everyone knows white people invented oppression and cruelty and slavery and privilege, and were the only people in the history of the world to ever inflict such on others, and that ALL of white people’s victims have been black. Everyone knows nobody but white people has ever so much as been a little bit mean before, in the whole history of the world!
Thank you. This post was a long time coming. I’ve been working on a post about what’s going on there for a while, but I’m putting it here because PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS SHIT.
This shit is REAL yall. I know a lot of people have never even heard of what’s been going on in South Africa for the past several years, but the Boer, who have lived on their current land (which was not occupied before their ancestors arrived, was never even part of a country) for 300 years or more, some of them up to 8 generations now, are being systematically wiped out.
It’s open, government sanctioned, silenced and hidden GENOCIDE, and it is very, very real.
OVER 2000 of the remaining ~34,000 South African Boer farmers have been murdered in their homes.
These are NOT just executions, not merciful bullets to the head while asleep or something. This is full scale, violent, hate-fuelled, pre-meditated, systematic torture and mutilation and murder.
And these are NOT just robberies gone wrong, either. These are not property crimes that happen to escalate when interrupted. This is systematic, fully intentional. The murder scenes are missing no money, no valuables.
The attackers target isolated family farms, specifically those owned by Boer families, enter in parties of 4 or more, and carry out focused personal attacks on the bodies of the people inhabiting the home. They enter armed with guns, machetes, knives, bats, homemade maces, and often signal jammers, wire clippers, and other tools to cut off any hope of communication, as well. And while they occasionally grab valuables on their way out, it’s surprisingly increasingly rare that anything is missing from the home. That is clearly not the purpose of the attack; they wait until people are in the home and never just quietly burgle and escape.
They torture and mutilate and slaughter the people – sometimes sustaining the attacks for several hours, even multiple days – and then they leave. The purpose is to inflict as much terror, as much pain, as much torture, as much cruelty as possible, then exterminate.
They gang rape babies and childrento death. YES, they absolutely DO that. Not just ‘that happened once or twice’ but THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. Tiny babies, like 3-4 years old, are GANG RAPED, BURNED ALIVE if they survive, CRUCIFIED on their own kitchen table, in front of their gurgling, bleeding, dying mommy and daddy. One particular 2 year old baby survived at least one gun shot wound and managed to drag herself to her parent’s bedroom to die next to her mother’s mutilated corpse.
They dismember fathers in front of their families, but leave them alive to watch the torture and murder of their wife and children. They burn people alive.
South African Boer farmers now live, isolated, behind tall electrified fences, with security alarms everywhere, surrounded by guard dogs, with heavy bars on their windows and doors, with reinforced walls and doors, with iron gates in their own bedrooms, with guns under their pillows, and still they don’t feel safe. Still they are not safe.
This IS happening, at shocking rates. It’s a weekly occurrence at the very least, but it’s escalating wildly, and most say it has now become DAILY. There is not one single white farmer in South Africa who has not lost somebody they know to brutal racist violence.
A white person South Africa is 1,370% (ONE THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY PERCENT, which is no less than THIRTEEN TIMES) MORE LIKELY TO BE MURDERED BY A BLACK SOUTH AFRICAN than any American is to ever be murdered. This is no coincidence, this is not accident, this is state sanctioned genocide, and it’s fucking happening right now.
This is ABSOLUTELY government sanctioned, government encouraged, government approved. Over the past 18 months, no less than 7 senior black South African politicians promised white South Africans that a civil war is on its way. The authorities look the other way and pretend these murders are simply not happening, AT BEST, and openly advocate and encourage it, all the way to the very top, at worst. As a matter of fact, they’re even making laws to legalize stripping white people of their ancestral homes – not restricted to farmland, no; ALL property owned by any white people is subject to violent, forcible confiscation, without any compensation whatsoever.
And if you think this is about people who want their land back – who want to take and use the farmland that was “stolen” from their ancestors – well, think again. In almost every single case – some 90+% – where people are offered the farm (as an estate, including all properties therein) as settlement, they refuse. This is not about wanting land, it’s simply about wanting to eradicate white farmers. What South Africans will do when nobody is producing any food, I don’t know, but their purpose now is NOT to “seize the means of [food] production” as some claim, as clearly demonstrated by the fact that, when given the opportunity to do exactly that, almost nobody ever does.
Look at this shit. Never again MY ASS. This is the website “united to end genocide” and they don’t even have South African Boer farmers (or, frankly, white people) on their website as “at risk” much less in their “ongoing” category! What kind of bullshit is this?
Are you curious why you’ve never heard about the fact that the South African government is legalizing and planning to enforce the total confiscation of all white citizens’ property without compensation? Are you curious how it’s possible that such massive amounts of targeted, race-based murder could be kept so quiet? Do you wonder why the media are not reporting on the fact that there is CURRENTLY a literal fucking GENOCIDE being carried out in South Africa right now? Could you maybe hazard a guess as to why this might be slipping by under the radar?
Oh… right… It’s racism. The victims are white. And as we all know today, white people are the devil, the inventors of oppression and cruelty, and the only people who have ever inflicted suffering on anyone else in the history of the world, so these people are only getting what’s coming to them for having been born white, right? Apparently only “people of color” can be victims of genocide, I guess. Yeahhhh.
And before you tell me that “people of color” are not capable of racism due to some contrived and bastardized definition, take note of the fact that the SA government is black, white people are only 9% of the overall population, and that the Boer number only ~34,000.
If you want more information, if you want sources, here you go. But I warn you, what you will see will haunt you, as it should. You are going to cry. You may even be sick. You’ll probably have nightmares.
And if you are anything like a decent person, you will be outraged. You’ll be shocked that the entire world isn’t talking about this all the time, you’ll be furious that it’s been going on for years and you’ve never once heard about it, and you will want to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
****GENUINE TRIGGER WARNING****
THESE VIDEOS CONTAIN GRAPHIC, HORRIFYING, UNBELIEVABLY DISTURBING IMAGES OF VIOLENT AND BRUTAL MURDER, THE AFTERMATH OF THE GANG RAPE OF BABIES, IN-DEPTH AND GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS AND IMAGES OF TORTURE, AND MORE.
WHILE THESE IMAGES ARE TRAUMATICALLY DISTURBING, I BELIEVE IT IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE AT LEAST TRY TO WATCH THESE VIDEOS.
IF NOTHING ELSE, SWITCH TO ANOTHER TAB AND LISTEN.
YOU – YES, *Y O U * – NEEDTO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING SOUTH AFRICA RIGHT NOW.
*
Here is a compilation that includes video of Jacob Zuma, then-PRESIDENT OF SOUTH AFRICA, singing KILL ALL THE BOER:
You can hear “shoot to kill, kill em!” and saying “Kiss” the Boer [obviously replacing the original “shoot/kill”], and you can just hear plainly “kill the Boers” and more.
Here is the lovely former president talking about how he doesn’t care about the plight of white people in South Africa:
Here are some more videos on the whole subject of the ongoing genocide:
Lauren Southern is doing an in-depth expose on the genocide in South Africa, and she has released/is releasing a series of several harrowing preview videos. These are easier to watch than many of the others, as the most gruesome scenes have been heavily blurred. If you are squeamish or traumatized, these are your best bet for being able to learn about this subject. Highly recommended
And there is much more out there. You just have to know about it, know to even search for it, in order to find it. This information is NOT coming to you.
*
THERE IS A GENOCIDE HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD RIGHT FUCKING NOW, PEOPLE. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING!
WHO AMONG YOU HAS EVER SAID “NEVER AGAIN”? HAVEYOU?
WHO AMONG YOU HAS WEPT FOR THE VICTIMS OF MINDLESS RACISM AND HATRED THAT LED TO THE MASS MURDER OF INNOCENT PEOPLE BASED SOLELY UPON SKIN COLOR OR HERITAGE? WHO AMONG YOU HAS SWORN – AFTER NAZI GERMANY, CAMBODIA, RWANDA, BOSNIA, DARFUR, ZIMBABWE – THAT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN? WHO AMONG YOU HAS VOWED TO NEVER TURN A BLIND EYE, NEVER SIT IDLY BY, TO NEVER DO NOTHING, EVER AGAIN?
WELL YOU ARE. RIGHT NOW. IT IS HAPPENING.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
*
>>>There is one thing you can do.<<<
*
The people who are the victims of this genocide – and, remember, this is not an IF but a matter of WHEN they come to their farm to rape their babies, torture their wives, mutilate their bodies – are TOTALLY LEGALLY preparing for the civil war promised to them.
They have set up a crowdfund for financial support.
Here is the video that goes along with it:
It is presented by Simon Roche, to many the face of the genocide. He is one of the most outspoken Boer, desperately trying to call attention to the living hell his world has become.
Simon is a former MP with the ANC, South Africa’s leading post-apartheid party, and is now the Head of Office with the Suidlanders, the world’s largest non-state civil defense organization. It is all perfectly legal and above the board, according to United Nations laws. Nobody is doing anything illegal or untoward by asking for financial (or other) support to defend themselves from genocide and an absolutely imminent civil war.
The most heartbreaking fucking thing I’ve just about ever seen in my entire life is this crowdfunding page. Here is a man begging for his life, his friends’ lives, the lives of his children, begging to be able to keep his ancestral home – his ONLY home – which his parents and grandparents broke their backs to build… and there are only a handful of donations. People give more, and give more readily, to silly, meaningless bullshit like fanfictions and some dude who wants to make potato salad as a fucking joke.
But this is serious, and it’s real.
There are thousands of lives on the line here, and hundreds of thousands of people’s livelihoods and rightful worldly belongings, as well. But it’s as if nobody cares.
It’s NOT “racist” to support the Suidlanders just because they are white, just because their murderers are black, so for fuck’s sake don’t go thinking that. You’re not an “anti-black” “bigot” in some way if you want to help people who are outnumbered by 100 to 1, who have been targeted by their neighbors AND by their own government, who have been reduced to worse than second class citizens, who are being legislated out of their homes and homeland, who are being systematically and brutally decimated, who are in direct and imminent danger of unfathomably violent slaughterat all times, who are defending their rightful legal ancestral homes which were uninhabited before their ancestors came and not even incorporated into any nation, from people who do not actually have any right to it. There is nothing racist about supporting people of ANY ethnicity when they are victimized, persecuted, tortured, murdered, wiped out. So don’t be afraid to help for any stupid reason like that!
–> If you can’t help financially, there is still something you can do!
For the love of God PLEASE REBLOG THIS.
Please, I BEG YOU, don’t just click the “like” button, PLEASE; click the REBLOG button and show this to the people who follow you. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY ANYBODY WILL EVER LEARN ABOUT THE LITERAL GENOCIDE THAT IS HAPPENING IN SOUTH AFRICA RIGHT NOW. The media are NOT talking about it, they are actively blacking it out. I am only one person with just a few people who follow my page, but if even half of the people who read this post actually REBLOG IT, then the number of people who see it, who learn about this LITERAL GENOCIDE THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, will grow exponentially!
Share this post. Watch the videos. Look up more information on the situation. Tell people about it.Share it on facebook and twitter and instagram and whatever other media you possibly can, please. Get the word out, because nobody else will! It’s not getting out there any other way!
Quit reblogging half the post. It ends in a trigger warning for videos that aren’t even there.
Here’s the whole post, with all the information.
Hate to be a dick because I love animals but it shows the empathy level of tumblr when the post about saving a dog sanctuary has 50k notes and this doesn’t even have 4k. smh
You’re not being a dick. It’s a very valid point, and I say that as a massive animal lover (soothing a huge dog terrified of thunder on my lap right this second!) myself.
It’s REALLY sad, isn’t it? Like I lamented up there somewhere, people dropped shit tons of money on a fucking potato salad joke on kickstarter, but thousands of lives? A fuel fund to evacuate the elderly, infirm, women and children, and innocent non-combatants from an imminent civil war promised to them by their own government?!? Psh, not worth it, I guess.
HOWEVER >> THE DONATION PAGE << looks a hell of a lot better now than it did when we first started sharing it here, and I am personally CONVINCED that it was US RIGHT HERE, sharing this link and dropping the few bucks we had to spare, that got it up to a point where people felt confident donating.
Look where it is now:
Of course I’m not so crazy as to claim that the tumblr community did ALL of that, but in the just first couple hours after we started sharing that link around, the donations jumped up by well over 2000$! I think that’s something this community should be very proud of, and it warms my heart.
Even if you don’t have spare money lying around to donate, simply REBLOGGING THIS POST and getting the information herein before people’s eyes IS HELPING. YOU are CONTRIBUTING.
But there is still quite a long way to go – and there are still people being slaughtered every single day.
But now the media are ignoring the issue… that is, when they are not actively telling you that it’s all fine, there’s nothing really going on, nobody’s really raping Boer babies to death or boiling people alive or setting them on fire or drilling holes in old women on these farms. Only smaller, more “alternative” outlets will talk about this issue.
This information is NOT going to get to people on its own. WE have to SHARE IT ourselves.
REBLOG THIS. GET THE INFORMATION OUT THERE. HELP US BREAK THROUGH THE SILENCE. TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS LITERAL GENOCIDE THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD RIGHT NOW.
And PLEASE don’t think that you cannot do anything to help. As you can see here, simply sharing this information IS HELPING.
YOU are CONTRIBUTING.
>>>> And there is another thing YOU can do, too, and it will only take a moment of your time! <<<<
There is a petition* to have Boer refugee and asylum requests prioritized. Here is the text of the petition:
*Anyone who has followed me for more than a couple days knows that I put no faith in online petitions, usually rolling my eyes so hard I get a headache when I see some completely illegitimate, impotent web petition come across my dash. But this one is actually a real whitehouse dot gov petition. It could land this GENOCIDE THAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR OWN WORLD RIGHT NOW directly in front of the Twitterer In Chief President of the United States of America.
All you have to do is enter your first name, last name, and email address. You do need to use a legitimate email address, however, because you will be sent a confirmation. That is ALL you have to do!
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION! IT WILL ONLY TAKE YOU ONE MINUTE!
There are fewer than 12,000 signatures currently. The petition has only until the end of March to reach the necessary 100,000 to be put in front of the nation’s Chief Executive. PLEASE SIGN.
You can also CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES and let them know this is an issue you – the voter – care about, that you want our country to help the persecuted Boer however we can.
YOU CAN CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL THEM TO –
!!!! > STOP GIVING SOUTH AFRICA 350 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IN AID < !!!!
– UNLESS THEY DO SOMETHING TO **STOP THE GENOCIDE** AGAINST THE BOER AND REVOKE THE LAWS TO EXPROPRIATE BOER LAND WITHOUT COMPENSATION.
And if you are CANADIAN, there is something you can do, as well!
CANADIANS! CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TOO! South Africans have been DENIED REFUGEE STATUS IN CANADA and REFUGEE STATUS HAS BEEN REVOKED FOR SOME. Canada is refusing to acknowledge that they are in danger of hate-based persecution to protect diplomatic relations! Let your legislators know that you – the voter – will not stand for such atrocities!
And here are some more links and sources, and some more videos:
And here are a few fairly concise videos with TONS more information than I could ever convey via tumblr post:
^(There is a part 2 to the above, but it won’t embed here for some reason.)
^(Sorry, I know Alex Jones is grating af on a good day, but this video has a lot of information.)
^This is an older expose, but it just goes to show you how long this has been happening. (And here is part 2 of the above.)
^Here’s another two-parter, this one an Al Jazeera report. (And part two here.)
^Here is Ernst Roets of AfriForum speaking to the United Nations.
NOTE: There is also a lot of information on twitter, under the tag #farmmurders.
Also note: It’s not easy to find news articles about this stuff, so it’s possible, especially given the nature of the subject matter, that some of the links may come from sites with certain distasteful leanings, if you will. My linking to a single article on a site IN NO WAY demonstrates (or even hints) that I support the site or that I agree with anything else on the site. I don’t think I linked to any nasty sites, but I can’t be 100% certain, so, disclaimer.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO SPREAD THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE CLICK THE REBLOG BUTTON AND PASS THIS ON. ALMOST ALL OF THE NOTES ON THIS POST EXPRESS SHOCK THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS LITERAL GENOCIDE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, SO PLEASE HELP US GET THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. IT’S NOT GOING TO FIND ITS WAY TO PEOPLE, WE HAVE TO SPREAD IT OURSELVES!
SPREADING THIS INFORMATION IS HELPING. IT IS ACTING. IT IS DOING SOMETHING. IT IS WORKING.
YOU – YES YOU – ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
AND TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE POSTED THIS ALREADY, THANK YOU – EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU – FOR JUST REBLOGGING THIS POST AND GETTING THIS OUT THERE. THANK YOU FOR SETTING ASIDE YOUR (TOTALLY VALID AND MEANINGFUL) DIFFERENCES FOR A MOMENT TO HELP OUT PEOPLE IN DANGER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE. THANK YOU FOR GOING AGAINST YOUR BLOG’S THEME OR AESTHETIC TO GET THIS OUT THERE.
THANK YOU. YOU ARE HEROES, EVERY ONE OF YOU.
As a person who has lived in South Africa his whole life this post seems a bit too much like fear mongering.
I don’t think a lot of you know the actual political power held by the people you mention within this post.
Not that I’m saying its all fake but it paints a picture that the state of South Africa is far worse than it actually is.
If it’s not fake then it paints an accurate picture of how bad it is. If it’s fake, provide evidence.
Never forget to bring this up when someone tries to defend IGNs credibility.
They scored a literal dumpster fire higher then the MLP movie.
The mlp movie isn’t some brilliant work of art, but it’s a fundamentally competent production. The emoji movie is nothing. This is outrageous.
MLP is a feel-good movie.
It’s the sort of thing you watch and get a warm and fuzzy nostalgic high off how much it pays tribute 80s and 90s animation where the roots of MLP are.
Not ground breaking but a solid 8/10 at the least and a blast to sit down and enjoy, especially with the high-quality animation and music.
It was also one of our last bastions of hope regarding 2D animated mainstream movies. It was fucking *gorgeous* with that animation and movement.
What did The Emoji Movie offer us? Nothing. Nothing original, insightful, or even visually interesting.
THIS
The movie was gorgeous and will forever respect it had the balls to use more traditional style 2D animation at a time when full CGI still rules big-budget animation.
Pinkie’s cuteness alone makes me want to finally see it.
They did a beautiful bringing out her character with expressions that are somehow both over-the-top and cute at the same time
Personally Tempest Shadow’s performance/animation just sold this movie for me.
I was told that the models for this movies had a RIDICULOUS amount of frames for each turn around. Rather than just sliding the features around on the face to give the illusion of 3 dimentions the characters had individual face shapes to flow between to make the turns SUPER smooth on every angle.
Having seen the movie I believe this 100%. Was it overkill? Possibly, but damn it looked GOOD.
It’s funny. I remember Lauren Faust one time commenting about how media targeted specifically for women or young girls are criticized more harshly than those made for boys. And here we are.
Also of note, it’s unknown officially what the exact budget for the film was but it’s said to be around 8 to 30 million dollars, the usual minimum budget for a theatrical animated feature these days is around 50 million to 65 million dollars. The fact that they managed to make the movie look this good on such a small budget is an amazing accomplishment (also the animators worked overtime through 7 day weeks towards the end of production to get the film finished on time).
There’s also the fact that while the film does include celebrities voicing the newer characters, the main cast from the show have all their original voice actresses/actors from the TV series, something that is extremely rare for big screen cartoon adaptations as they usually just recast the main characters.
I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and that this film isn’t perfect, but come on! It at least deserves more respect than The Emoji Movie!
