Tuesday Task, take a moment to remember that representation matters.  If you represent an undeserved group in your field, remember how amazing and important you are.

When the dad of the ex-Stanford swimmer convicted of rape said “His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve”

That is what should happen when you rape someone

Racist white lady calls in and tells Native Hawaiian to stop blaming the white man for taking their land, especially since the Japanese are doing it too.

This succinct READ though? COME THRU!!!

1) How did she do that? It was like magic… 2) I see so many videos like this from TV shows, and it makes me wonder why daytime television doesn’t have real and intelligent guests anymore… This is something we would NEVER find on TV in 2016.

can someone tell me who this is and where this video is from?

her name is Haunani-Kay Trask! From what I know this was a segment from the TV Show “Island Issues”. She’s a Hawaiian activist as well as an academic professor and author.  She wrote the book From a Native Daughter

There👏 is👏 no👏 such👏 thing 👏as 👏a 👏nice👏 slave👏 master

I don’t want to hear that your ancestors or past presidents weren’t that bad since they treated their slaves “nicely”. If they were nice they wouldn’t have slaves to begin with. It doesnt matter if they let the slaves eat at the damn dinner table they were SLAVES. That’s like saying that a kidnapper is a nice person because they let their victims out the house interact with the world around them. At the end of the day they’re still ripped from their home and families.And don’t give me that shit about “well it was just how things were at the time”. No matter how they felt or how “nice” they were, if they owned slaves they were all perpetrators of a evil institution and there is no way around it.
