pray for mexico, but please specially pray for the indigenous communities affected by the hurricane, tonight not only the hurricane was trending topic in twitter but also the hashtag #AdiosIndigenasDeColima which translates to “bye to the indigenous people of colima” a hashtag full of racist jokes, denigrating remarks and hateful comments towards the indigenous groups of the region, people are laughing and wishing for them to disappear due to their communities being the most vulnerable to disaster because of the lack of infrastructure and support by the mexican goverment, please pray for mexico but i beg you to specially pray for the native communities in the west coast of the country.
you know what annoys me? Those memes where its like “when your barber could have become an engineer or surgeon but institutionalized racism and poverty held them back” or “when your beautician could have become a structural engineer but systematic racism and misogyny held her back” What you are inferring is that people with vocational degrees are one, not living up to their full potential and two, that people in the hair/beauty industry are obviously in it as a fallback career as if being a nail tech or a beautician doesnt require as much skill as any other profession when most of yall cant even braid to your scalp or pluck your own eyebrows without fucking them up lmao

Shout out black folks who are living what are just theories to others.
