mcharrilennostarr:
In my opinion, the bible was written by men. Since know one has ever actually “seen” or “talked” to God, how would one know what he truly believes? We can only make assumptions. The knowledge of God is unobtainable by men and to seek this knowledge we must enter heaven. Only men/humans can write a book, not God.
I understand that men and women were created to reproduce. But...

if you have a roof over your head, food to eat, clothes to wear, an education you are benefiting from, a job you like or at the very least one the pays the bills, someone to pay your bills for you, enough money to buy books on amazon or clothes from forever 21, if you have a tv to watch, an ipod…

mcharrilennostarr:
Can someone inform me where in the bible that states that homosexually is wrong?
Here’s a link to an article that covers most of them.
Keep in my though that the Bible also condemns eating shellfish, wearing garments sewn from two different fabrics, working on the Sabbath and planting different types of seeds in the same field, among many other things. Most of these...

“The concept of ‘racism’ has meant much more than personal prejudices and scattered episodes of individual discrimination. In its fullest definition, racism is a system of oppression of African Americans and other people of color by white Europeans and white Americans. There is no black racism…

chavez4l:
By feminist logic, his name.
He’s not a douche, player, jerk, manwhore, or a pig. By feminist logic, men shouldn’t have these labels just as a woman who has a lot of sex with different men shouldn’t be labeled a slut.
Oh wait, I forgot modern femminism is a double standard to sexually liberate women and castigate men who “oppress.”
Call me old fashioned, but I’d still call...
“Consent is a tool for negotiating inequality in heterosexual relations. Women...”
– Sheila Jeffreys, Lesbian Heresy (1993), p.39 (via ann-tagonist)
This is one of the stupidest quotes I’ve seen in a long time. And that is saying a lot because I’ve seen a LOT of stupidity on Tumblr.

biraciallyinsensitive:
It’s funny because the actual etymology of the term ‘reverse racism’ implies that racism must include power or be institutionalized because it refers to white people making policies that are racist against themselves (claims are bogus, but that’s what it was meant to intend). So people arguing reverse racism because prejudice are necessarily contradictory… Still, reverse...

First World Privilege
If you are reading this, you have First World Privilege. The reason I know this is that less than half of the world population has internet access.
You benefit from first world privilege in many ways, most of which you probably don’t even realize. For example you don’t have to worry about having enough clean water to drink. You do not face starvation on a daily basis. If you are injured, you...

In case you missed it, which by the looks of it, you definitely did, Dane Cook told a joke about the Aurora shootings and it was caught on tape. The joke goes: “if none of that would have happened, I’m pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing it was a piece of…
ROFL, that is hilarious!

lafemmeindienne:
but here’s the thing: You’re not allowed to wear that shit and claim to be “desi.”
Because you’re not.
There is a BIG difference between appreciating a culture and wanting to learn more about it,
and parading around in that culture’s garb, claiming to adopt the culture as your own.
I don’t…
Is this cultural appreciation or appropriation?

Anyone who says that colonialism was good for anybody besides the people who were doing the colonizing (basically, white people) needs to take some history courses. Right now.

Victoria Foyt, Revealing Eden
Until today I had never heard of this book. Now it seems everyone is talking about it.
I’m going to buy a copy, read it and see what all the controversy is about.
If anyone else is curious, you can buy a copy here.

all-american-antichrist:
Having your feelings hurt because someone disagrees with you is not oppression, someone calling you out is not oppression, and someone adding their input to a discussion is not oppression.
You’re just an offended pussy who can’t handle different opinions.
Exactly.

“I’m going to say that it is impossible for people in a nonminority/nonoppressed group to be victims of hate crimes because it is impossible for them to know what it feels like to be truly hated.”
If a white person is murdered by a PoC, they are just as dead as a PoC murdered by a white person.
Any followers of mine or anyone who is a POC could...
lionxvx:
I’m trying to explain to someone important to me how you can’t be racist to a white person. It’s so frustrating, I feel like crying. If anyone has the time to link me to a good answer or write one themselves I’d really appreciate it as I am not comfortable with having a heated discussion on this issue and because I can’t immediately explain myself apparently it means I’m wrong.

Stop posting that Morgan Freeman quote without asking the black community at large what people think about it.
Stop thinking your white opinion on Black issues is superior and you’re somehow not racist for that.
Stop saying that you’re colorblind, that just means you’re privilege-denying.

Where exactly do you post questions to ask “the black community...

I have tried and I cannot come up with anything that would be remotely possible. Even if China and Russia joined forces, they don’t have the capability.
First, with satellite imagery, there would be no chance of a sneak attack. Even if they just start mobilizing forces, we would know and could take defensive or offensive measures.
Even if they could some how mount an attack, say by knocking...

A black man walked into a bar (no this is not one of those racist jokes) when a white man, who was also the bartender, looks at him and says, “We don’t serrve the colored here.” The black man looks at him and says, “Sir, when I was born I was BLACK, when I grew up I was BLACK, when I’m sick I’m…
YAY, I’m a PoC! Now I can get away with anything on Tumblr!

Love and peace will triumph over all. It doesn’t matter if we are getting terroristic threats or if Iran has nuclear capabilities, let them obliterate us. It shows our true compassion. Forget about standing up for our country and protecting our freedom.

johncory9mm answered your question: feelings on Abortion?
I’m against abortion, so I would never have one. Being a male, that works fine. I would never tell a woman what to do with her body though.
i think its easier for guys to be pro-life because they dont actually have to make the decision but i know some women and myself that are in between or pro-life that feel it...

jojobear11:
So now liberals want to blame their problems on “whiteness”, not white people. As if that’s any better.
You still fail to understand the concept of personal responsibility. Until you do, you will never get to where you want to be, because you’ll always be looking for someone or something else to blame, instead of looking at yourself.
I’m liberal but to a large degree I...
