ONLY SIX MORE HOURS TO SUPPORT YOUTH MEDIA MAKERS IN DETROIT!!!!!!

marshmallowmegamama:

Support youth media makers in Detroit! Donate here!

This past weekend, I met the folks of the Detroit Asian Youth Project. It was an amazing day. They work in the Osborn neighborhood in Detroit, and are, like all the other organizations I’ve highlighted, youth centered and led. Here is their mission statement:

The mission of the DAY Project is to motivate Asian American youth in Detroit to develop leadership skills and awareness for social justice by engaging in community projects that foster greater appreciation towards Detroit and its Asian American community.

I saw this work play out this weekend in several of the activities the youth of DAY led us through. One activity in particular was especially powerful—basically, participants were asked to answer the question “Where are you from?” and then create a poem using the “I am from…” format to respond. Everybody put together their own individual poems, and then from there, we gathered as a group and made group poems.

Here’s some of the “I am from…” responses that stayed in my mind. These came from multiple youth participants.

I am from dandelions and cracked sidewalks…

I am from not much, but enough to live on…

i am from pentecostal church hats…

I am from sofrito, sazón, garlic, and cilantro…

I am from family i never met…

I am from abandoned houses that are not dead…

We are from backyards with growing vegetables…

I am from two brothers saying ‘i love you man’…

I am from the timelessness of my divine potential…

People sat outside in the grass working on the poems, it was a beautiful day with that soft almost summer breeze—the rest of the neighborhood was out and about mowing lawns and playing basketball. It was a truly truly awesome experience of interconnectivity—our words, our voices, our body’s movements all linked together through who we are.

This amazing group of youth that created such a powerful experience for their community is also fundraising to get to the Allied Media Conference! They are integral innovators in the Detroit media landscape. The AMC will allow them the opportunity to network with other community driven social justice media makers AND influence the national and international understanding of Detroit.

PLEASE SUPPORT HOWEVER YOU CAN!

fuck the media.

That still isn’t a picture of Trayvon Martin…

Hey shitbag OP, that’s still not Trayvon Martin, flipping the bird at a camera is still not a capital crime, and George Zimmerman might wear a suit, but then he’s still just an abusive racist murderer in a fucking suit.

Sit your ass down.

Pretty much what you’d expect from a Nazi-fetishizing shitbag.

You may be a shitbag, not me. I’m not Nazi-fetishizing, I hate every form of socialism, a. k. a. ideology for parasites. Zimmerman is half Cuban, half Jewish, so how can he be a racist, you dumbass? And guy on the right is Trayboon, idiot.

This motherfucker is just one perfect storm of stupid.  Let me count the ways:

(1) He thinks Zimmerman is “half Cuban, half Jewish”.

(2) He thinks Cubans and Jews can’t be racist.

(3) He thinks the guy on the right is “Trayboon”.

(4) He thinks that this picture, which he uses as his tumblr avatar, doesn’t fetishize Nazis.

Yes, Virginia, some people really are too fucking dumb to live.

You’re right, you’re too fucking dumb to live. Go kill yourself. Zimmerman is Jewish surname and even his father said that he’s Hispanic. You fuckin dumbass. I have this avatar, because I like how this man looks like and I like oldschool military uniforms. That’s all, you pathetic idiot. Blame death of retarded teenage criminal on racism and Whites, hahahah.

Let me break this down for you one last time you ignorant mouth breather.

(1) George Zimmerman is a practicing Catholic, as is his father.  So Zimmerman isn’t Jewish by faith.  Nor is he Jewish by ancestry, since Jewish ancestry is traced through the mother, not the father.  (At least that’s the way Jews trace Jewish ancestry.  Perhaps you’re thinking of the way some other people trace Jewish ancestry.)

(2) Zimmerman’s mother is from Peru, not Cuba.

(3) The picture you posted is not the Trayvon Martin who was killed.

(4) I have this avatar … 

…because I like how this man looks like and I like oldschool military uniforms. That’s all, you pathetic idiot.”

Sure, try to sell that.  You’re no Nazi.  You just think they have fabulous uniforms.  And you “like” a eugenics poster … 

…  no doubt just because you appreciate the design elements.  And your knee-jerk “Zimmerman is a Jewish name” response says nothing at all about your mindset.  Now you’ll probably be getting ready to tell me that Zimmerman was Jewish because of his father’s “Jewish blood”.  Yeah, your goose-stepping heroes would have approved of that line, too.

You haven’t managed to get one fucking thing right so far.  So why don’t you take your love of eugenics to its logical conclusion and go castrate yourself?

JSYK,

You turn me on when you destroy Nazis

Yeehaw!

Seriously.  It doesn’t even make sense.  The person giving birth should be able to be in whatever position is comfortable for them.

And they’re fucking *TYRANNICAL* about it sometimes, acting as though the need to walk around, squat, do anything but lie there passively is a personal affront.

All part of the medicalization of childbirth and pregnancy…
