Atlas and the Hesperides, 1925 John Singer Sargent
[ ID: tweet by @/_SocSpecialist_ reading, “Just here to say that “micro” in microaggressions refers to the level of analysis in which they are observed, not the scale or magnitude of the harm they inflict.” ]
Just like last year when they donated to BLM and NAACP in the wake of George Floyd's killing and in response to the many Black Lives Matter protests happening at the time, Pokemon will be donating to various organizations in support of stopping Asian hate and in support of Asian and Pacific Islander communities. (It's due to another tragedy, the Atlanta shooting a bit over a week ago putting more of a national spotlight on the anti-Asian hate crimes that have been on the rise due to Covid.)
“The police don’t target black people,” says the white person.
“LGBTQ+ people have plenty of protection,” says the straight, cisgender person.
“Women don’t feel harassed at work,” says the man.
“Poor people don’t need more government help,” says the rich person.
“Immigrants feel welcome here,” says the natural-born citizen.
Please stop invalidating the concerns of people who have problems that you’re not experiencing. Instead, listen to them, and learn what you can do to help.
Literally, no where in 'Black Lives Matter' or 'Protect Asian Lives' does it say 'White Lives Don't Matter' or 'Don't Protect White Lives' and the people trying to act like it does fucking know it. Stop trying to demonize movements created to help unfairly treated groups of people. More rights for them does not mean less for us.
here’s your reminder that:
- BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER
- STOP ASIAN HATE
- don’t be an asshole
- drink water and take care of yourself you are important <3
"Why can't you just respect my opinion?"
Because your "opinion" is dehumanizing an entire group of people.
