Stone Execution Names That Took Place In London.

Life Without Black People A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people. At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief. ‘At last’, they said, ‘no more crime, drugs, violence and welfare.’ All of the blacks have gone! Then suddenly, reality set in. The ‘NEW AMERICA’ is not America at all - only a barren land. 1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system. 2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it, one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors. 3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gearshift, Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines, and Garrett A. Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals. 4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because its procurer was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Albert R. Robinson. 5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper.. 6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because John Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purveys invented the fountain pen, and Lee Barrage invented the Type Writing Machine and W. A. Love invented the Advanced Printing Press. They were all, you guessed it, Black. 7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books, they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine, William Purveys invented the Hand Stamp and Philip Downing invented the Letter Drop. 8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower. 9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly ventilated and poorly heated. You see, Frederick Jones invented the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace. Their homes were also dim. But of course, Lewis Lattimer later invented the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern, and Granville T. Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch. Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Steward invented the Mop and Lloyd P. Ray the Dust Pan. 10. Their children met them at the door - barefooted, shabby, motley and unkempt. But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine, Walter Sammons invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board, and George T. Samon invented the Clothes Dryer. 11. Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of this turmoil. But here again, the food had spoiled because another Black Man, John Standard invented the refrigerator… Now, isn’t that something? What would this country be like without the contributions of Blacks, as African-Americans? Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'by the time we leave for work, millions of Americans have depended on the inventions from the minds of Blacks.’ Black history includes more than just slavery, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther Kinbg, Jr., Malcolm X, and Marcus Garvey & W.E.B. Dubois. Reblog!!!

I totally agree because since I started playing the game I observed the same thing.

racism in fashion app games

ok so i’ve been playing this fashion game called “covet fashion” which started off being SUPER fun. 

u basically build ur closet up by completing missions, jet setting off to other countries, and attending events. 

here’s the problem: u submit ur outfits to be judged by the masses of OTHER ppl who also play the game. their votes determine ur score—whether u pass and score more swag for ur closet or fail and have to try again.

but after the first three missions i was having a REALLY hard time. i would put together outfits that met the mission requirements but i couldn’t ever seem to get a high enough score to move forward and/or build up my closet. i would look at the top scoring outfits for the contest i entered and couldn’t understand why my outfits kept failing when those winning looks weren’t even that special.

and then it hit me.

EVERY time i submitted an outfit my model had the darkest skin. ALWAYS. and why not? my model was an extension of myself and i have darker skin so i wanted my model to have the same. the top scoring looks always featured white models or models of color with lighter skin. when i would go to vote on looks i noticed that whenever a darker skinned model was up against a lighter skin one REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY HAD ON THEY ALWAYS LOST.

what i was thinking seemed legit but i HAD to be sure. so i put together a few more looks but i used much lighter skin tones and ALL OF A SUDDEN all these levels i couldn’t pass before i was passing with flying colors. i shit u not—i would win even when i put on shitty fucking outfits. 

so i got curious about the low star reviews of the app and SURE ENOUGH there were few reviewers that had actually noticed the SAME THING! they pointed out the obvious racial bias and asked the app makers to come up with some other way to score outfits that wasn’t entirely user generated and ITA.

cause i was REALLY enjoying the game and i kept getting so frustrated when i couldnt win thinking i was the one who was doing something wrong when it had nothing to do with me at all. i mean shit— i kno i cant even enjoy the simplest shit thanks to racism but this is some BULLSHIT. i felt sincerely distressed because i wanted to win but the idea of having to pick lighter skinned models when i didnt want to just to do so didnt sit well with me so i ended up just deleting the app.

aint that some shit?

ISTG THESE WHITE BOYS GET ON MY FUCKING NERVES….#!! So my school has a public snapchat for the students….I was minding my business getting my food and some white boy behind me takes a pic (w/o my knowing or consent) and posts it there….with this caption. Like what the fuck? They’re crotchet braids why do you think I’m some sort of main attraction at a circus!?
