FOR THE RECORD I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I AM A TRANS (pronouns any) BLASIAN MAN. (Jamaican and Pilipino) I SUPPORT ALL PEOPLE AND IDENTITIES.

BUT...

WHy is black history month the shortest month of the year? Even when you make it a leap year its still the shortest. asian/ pacific islanders month is may and Pride month is June. Racist America couldn't have given us more time to just be black? like man why the fuck are we still on this. They change Christopher Columbus Day But we can't have a Martin Luther king jr. day on his actual birthday, and we can't celebrate Malcom x. The people celebrate a business man for our president forgeting that the other president stepped down and that the same business man that runs our country is just finishing the work our black president started. the immigrant laws were something Obama started. and now white man claim the credit.

WHY NOT MAKE BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN AUGUST????? THATS WHEN THE "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEACH WAS SAID. Thats also what was said to be the month when voting rights change so black men could vote. That was the month many black activists and icons were born such as James Baldwin, Anna Julia Coope, and even Barack Obama himself!

I Say august is my new Black history month...

please reblog

“Autistic people are more likely than neurotypical people to be gender diverse, several studies show, and gender-diverse people are more likely to have autism than are cisgender people.”

Trayvon Martin should be turning 30 years old this week. As we honor his life, achievements, and joy, we send love to his family.

Trayvon Martin’s story reawakened a global civil rights movement under Black Lives Matter, uniting millions of us in the continued fight for racial justice. 

We remember him by the words of his mother, Sybrina Fulton: as a boy who was “a vessel that represents so many others;” a boy who sparked a movement; a boy who deserved to grow old.

Today's Nazi Punch of the Day is an important lesson from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers: how to punch Illinois Nazis with your car.

(Tumblr user @felignis pointed out that NPD refers to a mental illness, so I'm switching that tag to NPotD. Thank you for that!)
