“The rate of police killings of black Americans is nearly the same rate of lynchings in the early decades of the 20th century.” this is, in no way shape or form, even mildly close to being even slightly true. please prove me wrong with a source other than a dry erase board around someone’s neck. even though i realize that’s enough proof to sway the opinion of the ever-legitimate SJW.

Aw, boo hoo— you called me a derogatory name that’s meaningless outside of Tumblr/Reddit/Urban Dictionary. How you wound!

Now this is one of two responses I’m providing to you anon-ratfucks tonight because: 1) I’m not your teacher, 2) Google is your friend, and 3) you fuckboys (and girls) never learn one way or another, so why waste the time. BUT, for my folks out there who actually care, here’s some stats that took less than an hour to gather on the internet (re: #2).

Recorded Lynchings in the US (likely under-reported):

Total of lynchings of Blacks over listed period: 1,568

Rate of murders annually: 58 per year

Total of law-enforcement killings of Blacks over last decade: Unknown because stats are intentionally manipulated, under-reported, or simply untracked

Rate of murders Annually: Also unknown; estimated at least 96 from independent analysis of FBI stats on ‘justifiable homicide’; upwards of 300 or more from individual auditors

So actually, you’re right— from what little data the corrupt police state actually reports, the police kill MORE Black folk today than lynchings in the early 20th century. Feel free to respond, but if you do, try to be less of a ratfuck punk, and actually show you’re real profile instead of anon. Also: you can take 20 seats now. 

1901 wasn’t a good year for white people.

But every year was a shitty year for black people.

But isn’t that pretty much the summary of “Black in America” on any topic. I gotta laugh cause otherwise…

Red vs Blue Season 12 Finale Reminder

the-maine-meta:

So obviously we’re all very excited for the finale for tomorrow! But I just want to bring up a few points, especially for those of use who are sponsors and get the episode earlier than others.

  • Tag your reactions(This is obvious but very important. You might want to even put them below a cut, in case someone forgets to block tags)
  • Don’t post/reblog gif sets before the episode is out for the public. Even if you tag spoilers, not everyone who reblogs it from you will. If you absolutely can’t avoid posting/reblogging gifs from the episode, make sure you have “RvB12,” “Spoilers”, or anything along those lines in the actual post so people can still block it

I’m very excited for the episode tomorrow, as are all the fans! This is a fantastic community, so let’s do our best to not spoil the episode for people who have to wait to see it!
