What if there are more Black people in America than a census ‘tells’ us? What if the white social hierarchy is reporting this false information so we won’t feel entitled to fuck some shit up?

Explanation I was told once was black on black crime *side eye*

more like police-on-black crime murder*.

and mass incarceration. 

*I can’t even call it crime because they keep getting away with it and given excuses for killing black people. It’s only crime when white people say it’s crime, I guess.

“as of today, what is your father’s total current balance of cash, savings, and checking accounts?”

For a few years I was mad that they didn’t let me put a negative amount when I was answering how much money I had in my bank account.

I THOUGHT I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO LIE TO THE GOVERNMENT?!

Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage. Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart. The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize. So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.

A new study by Kathryn Freeman Anderson in Sociological Inquiry adds evidence to the hypothesis that racism harms health. To study the connection, Anderson analyzed the massive 2004 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which includes data for other 30,000 people. Conceptually, she proposes a simple pathway with two clear steps. First, because of the prevalence of racial discrimination, being a racial minority leads to greater stress. Not surprisingly, Anderson found that 18.2 percent of black participants experienced emotional stress and 9.8 percent experienced physical stress. Comparatively, only 3.5 and 1.6 percent of whites experienced emotional and physical stress, respectively.

Second, this stress leads to poorer mental and physical health. But this is not only because stress breaks the body down. It is also because stress pushes people to cope in unhealthy ways. When we feel stressed, we may want a drink and, if we want a drink, we may also want a cigarette. But discrimination is not just any form of stress. It is a type of stress that disproportionately affects minorities.

Here we see how racism works in a cycle to damage health. People at a social disadvantage are more likely to experience stress from racism. And they are less likely to have the resources to extinguish this stress, because they are at a social disadvantage.

demnewswire: The far right Kansas Senate okayed a bill today that will require people receiving unemployment insurance or state assistance to take drug tests to receive benefits. http://bit.ly/Y2KajC Ignoring the fact that this is an offensive bill that makes nasty, unfounded assumptions about people who receive state aid, it’s a complete waste of money. Florida tried implementing this policy and wasted millions of dollars for no benefit.Tell your state representatives to get back to work protecting public schools and bringing jobs to Kansas, not testing Kansans pee and wasting their time and our money.
