Many American universities, like the country, have economic and historic links to slavery. Only recently has this heritage been given critical attention on campuses. Archaeology students at Clemson University are surveying sites where enslaved people lived and worked, while Rutgers named its college apartments after Sojourner Truth (once owned by the family of the university’s first president). Two Georgetown University buildings named for slaveholders were renamed, and descendants from slaves sold to fund the school were offered legacy admissions (although there is still a demand for further restitutions).

In the Italian city of Pesaro last week, a court ruled that the Getty Museum’s prized “Victorious Youth” statue should be returned to Italy. In response to the ruling, the spokesperson for the J. Paul Getty Trust quickly issued the trust’s own stance on the piece, noting that Italy has no cultural claim on the statue. This echoes the judgement made by Italian courts in the 1970s, which had determined that the statue was not Italian. Despite these earlier verdicts, the current case had been tied up in Italian courts for over a decade, dredging up issues of provenance and the legality of the statue’s sale to the Getty. This case demonstrates that the ownership of cultural objects found in international waters remains a murky area of law. And while the Getty has agreed to repatriate objects to Italy before, the “Victorious Youth” controversy has proven to be a unique case.

The Most Terrifying Villain in Get Out Is White Womanhood by Aisha Harris (full article).

White women didnt’ ask to be used this way by racists.  We really, really didn’t.

didnt a white girl just get busted for saying she was gangraped by a bunch of black men this year. and then days later came out as a liar? Rhetorical question, yes the fuck she did.

Like… In a post about white women using their victimhood as a weapon, you identify as a white woman and proceed to play the victim. Sit with that. And be a more critical thinker. 

The lack of self awareness is staggering

if she wasn’t so shite at makeup she could’ve fooled people 

this is the story of the girl lying about being gang raped x  that @sojournerlies was referring to 

“In 1994 Susan Smith claimed that she’d been carjacked in South Carolina by a black man who drove away with her two young sons (ages 3 years old and 14 months). For nine days, she made dramatic pleas on national television for their rescue.“  

In 2007 Amanda Knox was accused of murdering her roommate, Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy. Naturally, she was like, “Uh uh, not me!” and blamed Diya “Patrick” Lumumba, her boss, and Lumumba was arrested. 

In 2010 Bethanny Storro claimed that she was attacked outside a Vancouver, Wash., coffee shop by a black woman who approached her and asked her whether she wanted something to drink. She claimed the woman said, “Hey, pretty girl,” and then threw a cup of acid in her face, disfiguring her. Police went on to investigate and started to think that Storro wasn’t telling the truth. And she wasn’t.

After Storro held a news conference shortly after surgery, with her head wrapped in gauze, she was booked as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, but she canceled the appearance after Oprah’s staff did some digging and things weren’t adding up.

In 2013, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, Storro discussed how she used the acid on herself in a failed suicide attempt because of a then-undiagnosed mental illness called body dysmorphic disorder. The illness causes an obsession with minor or imagined physical flaws. She admitted that when she was a national story, she felt that she “mattered.” She said, “In that moment I felt like I was cared for and I mattered.” She also claimed that she didn’t mean to blame it on anyone else. Right.

source for these 3 stories here x (i only put the women/’recent’ liars, the whole list has a lot more disturbing lies and terrifying outcomes for Black people who were falsely accused)

this is probably the most infamous case, screenshot taken of this article x

White Woman Claims She Was Robbed By Black Man Then Arrested For Lying x

all of this is on the first 2 result pages of a lousy google search

so get your head out of your ass and stop wailing when we’re called out on racism and look around you instead of trying to make excuses for yourself/ourselves and try to silence Black folks 

White women and their feminism speaks to agency of a woman and their choices but the minute it’s about racism, it’s all about how they were tricked, forced, or manipulated into being racist and how the real culprit is white men. Like they break their backs to play the victim even if it means they use the same sexist tropes

Welp…

what was the name of that white woman a few year sback that claimed two black teenagers shot machine guns into her stroller, then come to find not only did she kill her own kids, she had the decaying corpses of OTHER babies in her garage, and her own eldest daughter outted her????

listen white women are a special kind of demon

if y’all had been listening to what i been preaching and praying and saying
