Did you know that George Washington Carver, the master scientist, was physically castrated at a very young age
by his White plantation owners?

Back male slaves that were assigned to work in their master’s house were often castrated. 

Although it was the white slave owner that were raping their black slaves (males, females and children ) they —with an absurd degree of hypocrisy —believed that black males were sexual deviant that could not control their sexual urges.
The slave owners therefor believe that such castration of innocent Black boys was necessary to protect their daughters and wife from their slaves. 

The fact that Carver was castrated at an early age explains why his voice tone was so high. Carver voice tone was so high because his male hormones were never able to kick in. Male hormones (depending on the person) usually kick in between the ages of 9-16 years old. 

That is a wide range of years. After the male hormones kick in, it causes your voice to naturally become deeper with more of a base tone.

A person castrated before puberty almost never displays any secondary sexual characteristics.

This is also the reason why George Washington Carver never had any children. 
I am sure that the physical castration may also be the reason why Carver never married. 

Physical castration means that you cannot have sexual relations with anyone. There is not even an urge or desire to have sexual relationships after castration. 

Black people we have been given a revamped “whitewashed” version of history. A version that make whites appear less historically inhumane by hiding the true brutality of how they have treated we blacks throughout history. 

Black people conduct your own research and learn our true history.

White people need to thank there lucky stars black people are not aimlessly violent and demonic like they are.

After all they’ve done to our people? We remain calm. We do not force ourselves upon others and THAT itself is an act of humanity.

But every fuse has it’s end…

highkey dont understand how people dont know about residential schools

image

[a lot of this is from memory so if its inaccurate don’t hesitate to correct me so people have the most accurate knowledge of residential schools and how disgusting they were. @allthecanadianpolitics probably has more information and facts so dont take this as absolute]

its aboriginal history month fuckers so strap in to learn some dark shit. Now remembered that residential schools went on from 1831-1996

tw: sexual assault/rape, physical abuse [ask me to tag any more]

Imagine being forcibly taken from your home, taken away to a place you don’t know where people are speaking in a language you don’t know, and the minute you try to say anything in your native tongue to ask what’s going on, you’re told its wrong and what you’ve learned, what you heritage is, is a disgrace to society. That’s what happened pretty much all of the residential schools. There might be some outliers but as a whole, it was a shitty thing. How it’s shitty will be proven as you read. 

The schools were run by churches and the teachers and priests would be the people in charge. The government made it mandatory for all children from 5-18 and there were actually fines if you didn’t take your child to there. The closest reserve to me is Eskasoni [esk-a-zon-ee] and the residential school for Nova Scotia was Shuebanacadi [shoe-ban-ak-a-dee] and that’s like a four hour drive. 

The thing that is so horrendous about residential schools is the amount of abuse that went on there. If they dared say a single word in their native language they’d get beaten. Everything was in English too btw so the little kids talked in their native tongue yet were beaten and degraded for it when that’s the only language they know. They were forced to talk and act like they had grown up in British high society and if they dared pray to anything but God from the bible, they’d be beat. Even if some people said they were never a victim of any abuse, they were still told that they were bad, worthless, and basically terrible all because they dared to be native. 

It was a very common practice for priests to just fucking walk into the dorms and abuse these kids. There’s a story where a girl had a baby and when she gave birth, one of the nuns handed it to a girl and said, “Throw it in the incinerator.” And this young native girl, like 14-15, had just given birth only to have her kid thrown into the fucking furnace because they didn’t want it to get out that this girl got pregnant because she was raped by a priest. Yet it was so common that if you ask anybody that has a relative, they’ll most likely say that relative was abused. And the government didn’t care. A lot of the schools were over populated and people were malnourished from the bad food yet the government pushed it off to the side even though they’re the ones that paid for this entire thing. 

The food, clothing, and housing they were given was terrible. Like the guys were awoken at like five in the morning to stoke the furnaces and get the school warmer while the girls were woken and forced to make bread and help prepare things for breakfast. But the breakfast was made with the oats no store could sell because they were so old and gross. And a lot of the kids grew up with foods from the land like berries, meats, vegetables and weren’t used to European foods with bread, grains, etc. This food made them sick and the kids didn’t know it was food either so it was a culture shock being forced to eat this food that didn’t even look good. 

And then they went to classes where they were forced to forget their heritage, what they grew up with. Most kids didn’t even remember their parents when they were finally let out because they were taken at such a young age. Its not like it was even easy to transition too because today, if a family or person wants to leave a reserve, they loose all of their rights of not paying taxes, getting money from the government, etc and it was no better back then as reserves were actually the only place a native person could go and have full rights. But these kids had been through so much in the residential schools that made them think that practicing any part of their culture was barbaric, wrong, immoral and they’d be damned to Hell if they practiced any. So there was no way they could actually communicate with their tribe and family members, the only connection they had had to this world probably. 

Over 3000 kids were killed in these schools. That’s a bullshit number because those were the documented cases. A lot of the times the schools didn’t have to say a kid died because of the fact the government gave the schools full reign. The schools could preform human experimentation on the kids and people would fucking roll with it. There are actual reports of when a kid got sick with an extremely viral  So a lot more kids than 3000 died in those schools but that’s the official record. 

Residential schools are the reason a lot of Native culture has been fucking destroyed. A lot of languages were lost because all the kids in the reserves were taken and forced to assimilate into British culture so they didn’t remember anything of their native language. So a lot of traditions died with the elders and parents of the community. And it’s a damn tragedy because if you don’t have traditions or beliefs from your culture, what do you believe in? You were taught that anything but God was wrong yet you have all of these stories about your own gods to share that were lost with the elders. 

All in all, the residential schools were a fucking tragedy and i am appalled at the fact a lot of people don’t talk about it outside of Canadian history considering the last school was closed 20 years ago. There are 30 year olds that had to go to those schools that probably suffered some sort of effect from it. And yet, I hear my parents saying, “why should we pay for native people to buy alcohol and waste our tax money for something our ancestors did”. My parents were both alive when the schools were in the thick of their abuse. And they still think it was so long ago. 20 years might feel like an eternity but I think we can spare tax dollars to help whole communities that got fucked over from these schools. 

tl;dr candian government forced millions of aboriginal/native children to forget their culture and in the process caused serious harms to all native communities for years to come all because they wanted to “kill the Indian in the child”.

Correction: It wasn’t millions of indigenous students. It was ~150,000.

When the tea is HOT LAVA

I’ve always felt some tpye of way bout us having an entire museum dedicated to the holocaust and germany’s sins, but not one dedicated to trans atlantic slave trade or trail of tears or japanese internment camps or how we made hawaii a state

it’s very disconcerting to me how there have been many in depth discussions about why rhetoric like this is harmful and yet people still buy in to it. the implication of this post, and posts like it, is that jews are at a privilege somehow that there is somewhat recognition of their suffering and that their oppressors “admit their sins” which in itself is entirely baseless and not true. it is very possible to draw attention to a group(s) of oppressed people without using one of the most exploited genocides in social justice discussion and silencing another group of people who to this day feel the affects, the oppression, and the harm from this event to do so, and this is directed at everyone who reblogged this post uncritically because the phenomenon of using jewish suffering as a crux for a political point is one that needs to end.

here in arizona on one of the apache reservations i live on there is an epidemic of basically genocide of native american peoples. we are dying slowly one by one from agent orange poisoning in our water supply. we are developing illnesses that we have never had before until thirty or more years ago. we are suffering from cancers, alzhiemer’s, diabetes and other serious conditions that is destroying our health and no one is doing a damn thing. modern day feminists are crying about man spreading, man splaining, man whatever the fuck. but they aren’t screeching about our issues as native peoples. my family members are dying from sickness that was developed from agent orange. if you could reblog this and get the word out there! maybe white fucking feminists will talk about this instead of men spreading their legs on a fucking bus.

If you find yourself looking at oppression and think to yourself “would they let this happen to the Jews!?” as a means of outrage - the answer is yes, it would happen to Jews. It has probably already happened to Jews in history and it is probably happening again now or is on track to happening again in the near future.

Yes, the restrictions in France and Sweden on halal shops also affect kosher shops.

Yes, the ban on the burkini would be similarly enforced if a Jewish woman was wearing one or something similar.

Yes, Jewish women are also affected by the “no head scarf” rule in France. It just doesn’t affect our school-going children as much because, in many Jewish cultures (but not all), we don’t cover our hair until we are married. 

Yes, in the last few years: Jewish people have been second class citizens not afforded the rights of citizenship because of their status as Jews. Jewish people have been told to convert, leave, or die in a country that has had Jews for 2000 years. Jewish people of the diaspora have been attacked by terrorists, especially in France. Jewish people have been targeted and beaten for being visibly Jewish. Jewish people have been murdered for being Jewish. 

We will not be part of your “oppression olympics” to prove other marginalized groups have it worse. We are not above our oppression; our oppression is not solely historical. Many laws that target Muslims also target Jews. Many people shouting against Muslims also shout against Jews. We are also targeted by the KKK and white supremacy. Yes, even if you think Jews are white, white supremacists don’t. Surprise. We are targeted for being Jewish, for having connections to Israel (regardless of our individual feelings on the matter). We are targeted whether we are religious or secular. We, the Jewish people, have had targets on our backs for over 2000 years and we continue to wear those targets today. Just because you don’t see it (or dismiss it because of your confirmation bias that Jews are no longer oppressed) doesn’t mean Jewish people don’t still go through these things.

So, again: would they let this happen to the Jews? The answer is always yes.

On a related note, if you are talking about a racialized tragedy, don’t use the Holocaust as a comparative device. Yes, people do tell Jews to “just get over” the Holocaust, people don’t always treat it with respect, sometimes we have trouble getting people to even admit it happened. You just don’t see it because you rarely make room for Jews in your social justice.

where is the lie? (x

Please stop using the Holocaust as a rhetorical device. Stop playing Oppression Olympics with it. Stop lying about how everyone takes the Holocaust so seriously unlike [x tragedy]. It’s antisemitic and anti-Romani and really fucking old.

Most  to many Holocaust museums were made by Jewish people.

You think the world gave a shit that Jewish and Rroma people were being slaughtered by the millions.

Not at fucking all.

Also the sentence about subjecting millions of other ethnic groups is a lie.

The whole fucking point and purpose of the Holocaust was to exterminate Jewish and Rroma people. It was to totally and utterly eradicate us from the face of the world.

The called us vermin. They would not even call us subhuman because that would have been a compliment.

It was against the laws for Nazis to rape Jewish and Rroma women because it was seen as more disgusting then raping an animal.

Not that that stopped Nazis from using Jewish and Rroma women and children as sex slaves.

Everything said those gifs are 100% totally wrong.

Also it comes across as really victim blaming and acting as if Jews have some sort of power.

America has a fucked up lie that they teach and tell over and over about how their role during the Holocaust.

It is not our fault that they like to stroke their dick and make up stories and monuments to it even though it is one big fucking lie.

American citizens did not want Jews coming here and made sure their government knew that.

Asylum seekers were turned away by the thousands. 

Thousands of Nazis were invited after the Holocaust to live in America and work for the U. S government.

If not for Mossad going and hunting down Nazis and bringing them to Israel to face their crimes even more Nazis would have gotten away with it.

I am also disgusted that Rroma people were not even mentioned at all.

90% of European Rroma were slaughtered by the Nazis and yet you can’t be bothered to mention them rather instead you can say a blatant lie that millions of ethnic groups were subjugated.

Cut the fucking bullshit. This so fucking antisemitic and anti-Rroma.

Also for the billionth time STOP USING THE HOLOCAUST AS YOUR RHETORICAL DEVICE AND PROP! STOP USING JEWISH AND RROMA DEAD, HISTORY, AND SUFFERING FOR YOUR RHETORICAL DEVICES AND PROPS!

Shame on you. Shame. 

I not only want a sincere and real apology for this, I demand.

I refuse to back down on this. I’m going to be like a dog with a bone on this.

Franchesca Ramsey I see that you apologized here, but it was not really an apology.

I want you to see exactly what I wrote and to understand on just how much of a colossal level you failed by using the Holocaust as your prop.

I want you to understand just have offensive and cruel it was to do this.

The information you presented was not just offensive, but factually wrong.

I want you to acknowledge this and properly apologize for it.

I wan to know what are you going to do about this.

Will you take down the video? Will you make a new video explaining why this was not okay and go over where exactly you went wrong?

Because honestly your “apology” comes off as a non-apology.

You did not bother to actually even take responsibility. 

You don’t get to just do this shit, say sorry, and walk away.

You have to take responsibility.

Because what really fucking gets me is that you not only used one of many genocides of the Jewish people as a measuring stick by which to judge other people and you not only totally erased the Rroma people from their own genocide.

But you gave over incorrect information and you have massive reach to a lot of people who now that is all they are going to know. 

You have to do better because that was not an apology and that was not taking responsibility for what you did.

Because taking responsibility for what one did is apart of apologizing. 

The Jewish and Rroma communities deserve better that “apology” and deserve to not have such incorrect information spread especially when there is already so many lies already spread out there.

If I seem harsh it is because of just how I strongly I feel about this. 

@chescaleigh

@chescaleigh It’s not you didn’t present this in the most respectful way, it’s that this is nakedly anti-Semitic and anti-Romani racist. What made you think it was acceptable to use our oppression as a rhetorical device?
