9.9.12 #Syria ثوار سوريا المغتربين | Syrian Emigrant Rebels
May they finally get the freedom they desire after almost two years of bloodshed… it’s been too long and the price has been too high.

Awww Heeellzzzz Yeeee
Carlos Latuff is Back!!! :D and promoting the truth as always :)
Mr. Latuff, I salute you! ;)
Though TBH, I wouldn’t like Assad gone. He’s still butchering his own people for all I know. How much worse the those rebels possibly be?

This weekend when I attended the Stanford Pow Wow I had the opportunity to meet Sacheen Littlefeather, a well known Native American activist. She is most infamous for taking Marlon Brando’s place at the 45th Academy awards ceremony to reject his award for The Godfather and protest the mistreatment of Native Americans in the film industry. She has also participated in the occupation of Alcatraz and many movies, one she recommended at the time was the documentary Reel Injun. When I met this woman she seemed like most cheerful elders represented in their regalia, making their rounds and meeting old friends. I didn’t all expect to get a history lesson! She was really sweet and unfortunately dealing with breast cancer. Although she is going through some current hard times she still had a smile on her face, taking in all the good medicine at the pow wow. She told me that for a long time the video of her rejecting the award was banned from viewing, but luckily now viewable on youtube! check it out HERE!
That really was a badass move at the Oscars back in ‘73. I read they said she was was actual Hispanic and not even Native. I believe John Wayne was responsible for that story. Brando was accused of manipulating the press by, as John Wayne put it, “taking some little unknown girl and dressing her up in an Indian outfit.” Now that’s pretty lame.
Much strength and support to my Syrian brothers and sisters! May you all be free soon.
richard-bieber-deactivated20130 asked: if you READ about was SHIT because it did not work in that climate. you talk about being taught to read ENGLISH at the expense of losing your native language like its a good thing. the things you mention aren't good they are restrictive and violent. no that violence does not justify other violence. But the incidents by PoC that harm white people will NEVER BE EVEN REMOTELY COMPARABLE to the oppression PoC experience from white people and continue to experience.
Why does this get your “privileged white ass” so butt hurt, buttsbuttz? You are American, not South-African. You don’t have to live there. You are not oppressed. You are not oppressing anyone. You are no professor. What makes you think I care about your opinion?
bethanal asked: i know, i do the same thing lol
Basically, I say the same things other people on tumblr say but when I say it, I’m a racist, a bigot, and the list goes on and on and on… I’m not even half as serious as them though. It’s just funny how shocked people are and how furiated. They don’t even see the double standards nor do they have any empathy or any idea what someone else would feel if they read their hateful messages which they pass off as the absolute truth. They have this huge false sense of entitlement, but it’s like a massive pudding; poke it once REAL GOOD and it collapses into nothing. :)
Social justice activists on tumblr really are the world’s most awful people. And the biggest hypocrites too for doing exactly that which they claim to be against.
bethanal asked: lol people need to lighten up
True dat.
I’m only serious about 50% of the time and the other 50% I’m trolling, haha. It’s funny to see peoples reactions because they always take their shit soooo fucking serious. Like they’re on some sorta holy mission or something. :P
