-“OH, WHAT, ARE U #TRIGGERED???, LIFE ISNT UR #SAFE SPACE LMAO”
Stay away from children for the rest of your lives please
The people who hate this are probably the ones traumatizing their children
this is a show for 3 - 6 year olds what is WRONG with these monsters???
Fun fact, sesame street was created to fill the gap in education for children whose families could not afford to send them to preschool. Sesame street taught basic math and phonics as well as interpersonal skills so that children below the poverty line weren’t starting elementary school behind their more privileged classmates.
Here sesame street is trying to fill a gap where supportive adults should be. Where there should be a teacher or a family member or a counselor to help, for whatever reason, there isn’t, so Sesame Street is stepping in.
This breed of person has always hated Sesame Street. They hated it for showing black and white children playing together. They hated it for giving children of color the head start that rich white families were paying for. They hated it for Bert and Ernie for showing two MEN who LIVED TOGETHER, for the married black nurse who lived on sesame street when it was first released, and for them explaining death. I feel like there was a pregnancy at some point in its early days and they would have REALLY hated that.
These days they don’t (usually) say “I’m not letting my kid watch anything with black kids in it” but they sure throw a tantrum in the youtube comments when Sesame Street DARES to show an autistic girl playing with non-autistic children and being treated like shes anyone else. They lose their shit when Sesame Street has to explain incarceration to 5 year olds. And the muppet in south africa with HIV? Hoo boy.
They hate everything Sesame Street stands for and tries to provide. They always have. We just have to ignore them and keep supporting the show. Or tell them to shut the fuck up and keep supporting the show. Either way Sesame Street will outlive them.
Make them sit in their rooms in silent and do their homework alone
Side with the teacher and not get your child’s side of the story
Tell them that their grades are the most important thing they should worry about
INSTEAD:
Ask if they’re having trouble with other students or teachers
Sit down with them and help them with what they don’t understand
Speak calmly instead of yelling
Don’t invade their privacy by looking through their devices
Don’t take away their hobbies as punishment
Never make them feel unsafe or unable to trust you
This has been a message from a struggling high school junior that wishes their own parents actually did this stuff.
Bonus: Don’t look through their freaking backpacks. Chances are they know damn well they have loads of unfinished papers and the stress of knowing is so overwhelming they don’t even wanna look at it.
and spare me your objections and indignation. with all the “niggas ain’t shit” and “i hate black men” posts running around on black tumblr, this is what equality looks like.
now think about everything you would say if these were “niggas” and say it now. if you can’t, you’re a hypocrite. own that shit.
You do realize 99% of these are satire and a direct response to men who say they don’t date black women, you’re pretty dense
Fuckouttahere. I have NEVER SEEN the “satire” excuse for dudes. The lengths y'all go with your hyprocrisy is amazing.
Fuck you doing following me? #blocked
“Satire.”
and it’s always some fucking porn blog with the fucking nonsense too. smfh.
You know damn well to problematize Black women, in their admiration of other races, is to contextualize it with the decades of black men simultaneously running to every other race while demonizing Black women.
They don’t owe us loyalty in the face of rampant abuse.
Just “be the change” and go on about your business.
another fucking excuse. y'all just coming out the woodwork with this shit huh?
so for those decades no black man loved a black woman? no black men praised black women? it’s just an impossibility that some black women are just as capable as being trash as any black man? my favorite part of this bullshit is that same period is romanticized as a period of black unity when it’s convenient but when it’s not it’s suddenly a period of black men just hating black women. okay.
i’m glad this post is exposing y'all motherfuckers because i want people to see how much y'all fucking reach with shit like this. it’s funny i don’t hear any “contextualizing” excuses for black men when they do their dirt. no one talking about white supremacy, brainwashing, whitewashing or etc in a manner to excuse their behavior and yet here we are. fuckouttahere.
the black community is gutless on many subjects and make no mistake this is one of them. this is the one we don’t talk about.

who’s next?
I mean let’s be honest…being an aint shit nigga is not exclusive to black mean. I have heard this light skin/exotic/white bs directly from the mouths of black women. We can’t deal with things in our community if we aren’t honest about it. While not all blavk women have this mind set, there are many who do.
bruh the black community will never evolve or prosper because we ONLY want to fight a CERTAIN kind of anti-blackness, self hate and coonery and that’s black male kind. black female coonery? we are more than happy to let that shit live.
i’ve never been told that if i closed my eyes in the dark i’d dissapear by anyone but black women.
i’ve never been told that i’m only cute for a dark skin guy by anyone but black women.
i’ve never been told that i sweat oil by anyone but black women.
in the black community tho that shit is ONLY offensive and worthy to be called out if it comes out of the mouth of black men.
He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.
He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.
When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire
- the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.
He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.
He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.
He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)
His kids are a treasure.
He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.
When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight:
I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person.
never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person
Ben and Jerry’s isn’t making an empty advertising gesture. They company has supported Bernie Sanders, and made an ice cream flavor to raise awareness of global warming. They run progressive news stories on their websites and social media. They pay their workers a living wage. Even their brownies are sourced from a company that specializes in hiring people out of jail to help them get their lives back on track. They’re open supporters of socialism. I understand the idea of “no ethical consumption” but Ben and Jerry’s isn’t just adopting a political message for nothing.
This is pretty much as close as you’re gonna get. Btw this used to be really well known info wtf happened? We have google now guys, we shouldn’t know less than we did before. Please USE IT.
They also have a rule that their highest paid employee (CEO) can’t make more than a certain number of times (I think 10 x’s, but I’m not sure) the lowest paid employee. If the CEO wants a raise, everyone gets one.
They had a rule, ever since the original CEO stepped down the CEO’s wage has just been increasing. They eventually just stopped reporting entirely how much more times the CEO earns. So, yeah.
