Jon Stewart on the Charleston shooting:

I didn’t do my job today. I’ve got nothing for you in terms of jokes and sounds because of what happened in South Carolina. And maybe if I wasn’t nearing the end of the run or this wasn’t such a common occurrence, maybe I could have pulled out of the spiral. But I didn’t.

I honestly have nothing other than just sadness once again that we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other and the nexus of a just gaping racial wound that will not heal yet we pretend doesn’t exist. I’m confident though, that by acknowledging it – by staring into that and seeing it for what it is…We still won’t do jack shit. Yeah, that’s us. And that’s the part that blows my mind.

I don’t want to get into the political argument of guns and things. What blows my mind is the disparity of response between when we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves…

If this had been what we thought was Islamic terrorism, it would fit into our [narrative]. We invaded two countries and spent trillions of dollars and [lost] thousands of American lives and now fly unmanned death machines over like five or six different counties, all to keep Americans safe. We’ve got to do whatever we can – we’ll torture people. We’ve got to do whatever we can to keep Americans safe. But nine people shot in a church, what about that? “Hey, what are you going go to do? Crazy is as crazy is, right?”

That’s the part that I cannot, for the life of me, wrap my head around. And you know it’s gonna go down the same path. “This is a terrible tragedy.” They are already using the nuanced language of lack of effort for this.

This is a terrorist attack. This is a violent attack on the Emanuel Church in South Carolina which is a symbol for the black community. It has stood in that part of Charleston for a hundred and some years and has been attacked viciously many times – as many black churches have. And to pretend that – I heard someone on the news say – “tragedy has visited this church”. This wasn’t a tornado. This was a racist. This was a guy with a Rhodesia badge on his sweater. So the idea that – I hate to even use this pun – but this one is black and white. There’s no nuance here. And we’re gonna keep pretending like, “I don’t get it, what happened. This one guy lost his mind.”

But we are steeped in that culture in this country and we refuse to recognize it. And I cannot believe how hard people are working to discount it. In South Carolina, the roads that people drive on are named for Confederate generals who fought to keep black people from being able to drive freely on that road. That’s insanity. That’s racial wallpaper. You can’t allow that.

Nine people were shot in a black church by a white guy who hated them – who wanted to start some kind of civil war. The Confederate flag flies over South Carolina and the roads are named for Confederate generals. And the white guy is the one who feels his country’s being taken away from him. We’re bringing it on ourselves.

And that’s the thing – Al Qaeda, all those guys, ISIS – they’re not shit compared to the damage that we can apparently do to ourselves on a regular basis.

Reblogged without comment as I believe it speaks for itself.

To all of the people that flooded my inbox yesterday saying he wasn’t a terrorist because there were no political motivations behind his attack. Big middle finger up to all ya’ll

Don’t forget the sources

this is a reminder to all girls who like girls that your attraction isn’t creepy or bad. you’re not betraying a friend or being “pervy” if you’re attracted to her. you’re not objectifying girls by being attracted to them. you’re fine

Boys who like girls need to be told this too. Hell, girls who are liked by boys need to hear this about those boys as well.

You need to be fed to wolves. Wolves need to be informed of your location

…

Is this person fucking serious?  This is seriously how you want to represent yourself to others?  By telling someone making a very true statement that they need to be fed to wolves? 

Rubyfruitjumble, congratulations.  You will be officially added to the list of “What is Horribly, Horribly Wrong with Tumblr”.

first off, I commend you and appreciate you for being level-headed and coherent. I’m new to tumblr so you can’t claim that I knew any of this was the truth.

I was only going by what my sister has said and what she has seen from the site. I haven’t even been here a year yet.

But to be fair, I’ve had a lot of run ins with Bronies in the past both in real life and on Facebook and other sites, none of them were pleasant.

I don’t doubt that good Bronies exist. But you never hear from the good ones.

I’m just gonna snip everything before this comment, because this person honestly thinks that what she hears from her sister and a small handful of people are representative of a group that now comes in at well over ten million people worldwide.

You might want to actually learn what the fuck you’re talking about before go spewing up someone else’s bile.  The majority of what is spread around about bronies is a gigantic, steaming pile of bullshit, and you’ll find lots of sources in the link above regarding this.  I’m a woman that grew up with My Little Pony in the 80′s, and I’m part of the MLP:FiM fandom now, and all I’ve come across are people that are no different whatsoever from any other fandom.  People like you that play “whose fandom is the worst” and buy into whatever anyone spoon-feeds them honestly sicken me, and I’m extremely fucking tired of it.
