Effects Of Thinking White People Are “All Like That”:

• Literally nothing other than white people having their feelings hurt on the internet
• I’m not joking there is no real world consequence of this

Effects Of Thinking People of Color Are “All Like That”:

• Saudi student is literally surrounded by FBI for cooking rice under terrorist suspicions
• White people literally can not associate positive words with Black faces because of racism
• More white people use drugs but Black people are sent to jail for drugs at 10 times the rate that white people are
• Black people who “sound Black” earn less money than those who don’t because of associations with stereotypes. Black people who “sound Black” are less likely to get called back for jobs
• Black children grow up literally associating being Black with being bad and ugly
• White people when tested shot more unarmed Black subjects than armed and unarmed white subjects
• Hate crimes increase after Boston tragedy
• Moroccan High School Student is linked to Boston tragedy for being Brown
• Bangladeshi man is beaten by people out of racism
• NYPD Commissioner wants Black and Latino men to fear him after the police targeted literally 90 percent Black and Latino men in New York and humiliating them by frisking them in public under the assumption that they had weapons. Studies found that white men were the ones who overwhelmingly had weapons while Black and Latino men didn’t
• White people blaming and convicting Black men for crimes they never committed and everyone believing them because of racism
• Stop and Frisk, ruled unconstitutional was practiced by New York police disproportionately and unfairly affecting 90% Black and Latino men because of racism
• Universities throwing racist ‘Fiesta Party’ homogenizing culture with extreme racism
• Here are some of the numbers on hate crimes against People of Color and btw, Neo Naziism is increasing!
• Every 28 Hours an African American is Extrajudicially Murdered in the U.S.
• Black people 3 times more likely to be arrested for Marijuana
• Black people receive much harsher sentencing than white people for the same crimes do I need to go on?

But yeah, white people’s feelings :*(

Star Trek Into Darkness: the spoiler review (At io9)

gyzym:

fuck-it-fire-everything:

After making a mere $84 million at the U.S. box office, Star Trek Into Darkness is considered by some to be a disappointment. Perhaps the problem is that it was a touch confusing. To help our readers better understand it, we’ve complied and answered these Frequently Asked Questions about the movie.

Maximum spoilers ahead…

How does the movie start?

Well, with Kirk and Bones fucking with a planet of primitive aliens. They steal some kind of holy scroll, and then get chased through a red jungle.

Seems like kind of a dick move.

Well, it’s not very clear, but ostensibly they’ve stolen the scroll to get chased, in order to draw the aliens away from a volcano that’s about to explode.

Okay, that seems reasonable.

Except that 1) when the volcano erupts, it’s going to kill everybody on the planet, so it hardly matters where they are, and 2) Spock is getting dropped down into the volcano to set off a cold fusion bomb.

Wait, what?

Yeah, he sets off the cold fusion bomb and all the lava freezes.

You know cold fusion isn’t actually cold, right? It’s only “cold” in the sense that opposed to regular fusion it’s not a bazillion degrees hot.

Huh.

And did you say Spock was in the volcano? Why the hell didn’t they just beam the bomb in there?

Um, something about the planet’s magnetic field. Although they do beam Spock out of the volcano just a few minutes later, so…

And why did Spock have to go with the bomb to set it off? Are you telling me in the 23^rd century that people don’t have a way to detonate bombs remotely? That’s stupid.

Well —

And why the fuck is the Enterprise just carrying around a cold fusion suitcase bomb anyways?

Look, you’re getting very upset, and this is just the first scene of the movie.
