Also unfortunately only Americans can win. International shipping is too expensive for my broke ass.

“Food justice is a big part of who we are,” said Michael Kantor, Interim Director at Grow Dat Youth Farm, who stressed the program’s primary purpose to develop youth leadership skills. “Black farmers in particular have historically been marginalized so we create opportunities here to give young people of different races the chance to take control of food production, either here or in their neighborhoods, and increase access to fresh healthy produce—something many New Orleans neighborhoods do not have.”
Grow Dat Youth Farm partners with nine local schools to recruit around 60 high school students annually. Starting January, these youth Crew Members participate in a paid, five-month leadership program held after school and on Saturday that prioritizes diversity and inclusion. The program time is evenly split between lessons on sustainable food, cooking, and farming, and team-building and leadership exercises. Graduates of the program are invited to enroll in the next tiered leadership position as Assistant Crew Leaders; a fellowship program brings in extra help around the year.
“The common theme among these white supremacists is to accuse me of ‘Asian privilege,’” Gu said. “Their arguments were that because I went to Stanford and Duke Medical School, I should be thankful and not complain about systemic racism…”
“It struck me as incredibly racist because I have every right to show solidarity with African-Americans in this country, my fellow Americans, who are subjected to police brutality and injustice…“
“In fact, successful white Americans and Hollywood stars comment about this all the time. Why is it that I, as an Asian-American, cannot comment on prevailing social and racial issues affecting America today? Do I have no voice?” Gu added.
Perfect case study of how the model minority myth/perceived whiteness of East Asians is used to damage antiracist efforts
If Dr. Gu, or any non black person of color, threw black people under the bus, you can bet that these racists wouldnt be telling them to “shut up and be grateful”.
*Racist White* People Are Claiming This Asian American Doctor Who Took a Knee Is Too Privileged To Speak Out
fixed it
this is solidarity. if you’re not black, you still need to support black lives. kneel at the damn ball game. don’t be complicit. the fact that this one simple tweet got all the racists all worked up proves that it is necessary.
listening to a podcast interview with Justice Sotomayor where she recounts an anecdote of being a decorated Princeton-graduate Yale Law student attending a recruitment dinner hosted by a law firm where some old white dude asked her if she only got into Yale because she was Puerto Rican
which makes me feel a little better about the fuckboy in high school who said I only got into Dartmouth instead of him because I was Black
I guess this is why straight men don’t like to talk about their issues with friends because it always turns into a joke.
this absolutely broke my heart.

Smh It’s Always A Joke
This why I can’t fuck with a lot of people cause it’s always just a joke
😡💔
I will never say that men can’t get raped too BUT in order for her to ride him .. does he not have to be aroused ? That’s what I’m always lost on.
The penis has nerves that when stimulated will cause a reaction. Just because he was erect doesnt mean he wanted it. Guys wake up on hard not because we’re necessarily horny, but because our testosterone production is at its highest in the wee hours of the morning. Again, does not mean we want sex.
this white feminist idea that “no man will ever understand what its like to walk down the street in constant fear” okay but gay men, black and brown men, trans men ……
