Systemic racism against Indigenous Peoples in Canada is very real and present, especially in the health system.

Today, Joyce Echaquan, an Indigenous woman from Manawan First Nation, died in horrible conditions and around racist staff at Joliette hospital in Montreal city. She shared a live video of her on Facebook crying for help in her mother tongue, saying that she received too much medication. In the video, we can also hear two caregivers saying violent and harmful words to her, like “fucking fat woman, it’s better if you’re dead” “are you done joking around” 

This is so revolting, and unfortunately it’s a reality for the Indigenous community here. They’re completely marginalized. The health care system doesn’t care about them. 

I can’t really express the pain I felt for the past two days. I cried all day, I was only thinking about the family. I didn’t know until recently that she is family, she is my mom’s cousin and it breaks my heart.

Those pictures are from different community, different nations from Quebec. Even non-indigenous were there, for Joyce Echaquan… another stolen sister.

If u want to donate this is the site where u can donate. The money will go to the family

one of breonna taylor's murderers was charged with wanton endangerment for firing into her neighbors' apartments. not for murderering a young woman in her home. but for property damage. no other charges were filed.

if you can, now would be a good time to donate to the Louisville bail fund. hundreds of protesters are currently marching with a long day ahead.

black lives matter.

Anonymous asked:

Why can people make jokes about white people but not about POC? (Genuinely curious, not trying to offend anyone i just want to be educated)

greenllamas answered:

“Is it okay to make jokes about white people? Yes, of course. I think it’s important to make jokes about white people so white people can see their dominant culture is actually a culture. White people in have very little experience being the object of racial jokes because they are seen as ‘normal’. For POC, it’s a way of pushing back against racial stereotypes and is technically punching up – it’s why LGBTIQ people can make fun of straight people and why women can make fun of men.”

As someone who is half white, and white-passing, white people have subjected me to jokes about asians that are always racist. Always. When I speak up, it’s always, “It was just a joke,” or, “You’re asian?”, like their ignorance of my ethnicity excuses their jokes.

My non-white friends jokes about white people have never been racist. Usually, it’s just something pointing out my whiteness. Gringa. White girl. They’re words said without intent to harm. They’re words that don’t perpetuate negative stereotypes with lasting consequences.

In recent years, as a way of turning the tables, I’ve made jokes about white people in front of my white friends and family members.

It makes them uncomfortable, but you know what it doesn’t do? It doesn’t get them beat up or killed for the color of their skin. It doesn’t lose them job opportunities. It doesn’t make their cultural background seem uncouth. Dirty.

Demand Justice for Jacob Blake

Resource Guide shortcut : http://www.bit.ly/justiceforjacobblake  
*Resource Guide compiled by GoSociafy. Sources and additional resources linked at the bottom*
At around 5pm on Sunday, August 23rd, 29 year old Jacob Blake was shot 7 times in his back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  Sources say police were called to the scene to settle a domestic dispute between two women, in which Blake was helping to de-escalate the situation.  After being tased by the Kenosha police, Blake walked back to his car to check on his children.  As Blake walked away, an officer grabbed him by his shirt and shot him 7 times at “point blank range”.  Blake’s three young children (ages 3, 5, and 8) were traumatized as they watched the police shoot their father.  This story is still developing.
Two officers have been placed on administrative leave and the shooting is being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.

Join GoSociafy in demanding justice for Jacob Blake.

I’ve mentioned a lot abt glossier on here and wanted to bring up outtathegloss in case you guys may not have heard about it yet. It’s disappointing but not surprising that bipoc are mistreated within glossier’s corporate culture and I personally won’t be supporting them going forward until Glossier, namely Emily Weiss, responds their open letter and demands.

Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we?
Without Muslims you wouldn’t have:
  • Coffee
  • Cameras
  • Experimental Physics
  • Chess
  • Soap
  • Shampoo
  • Perfume/spirits
  • Irrigation
  • Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
  • Combination locks
  • Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
  • Surgical instruments
  • Anesthesia
  • Windmill
  • Treatment of Cowpox
  • Fountain pen
  • Numbering system
  • Algebra/Trigonometry
  • Modern Cryptology
  • 3 course meal (soup, meat/fish, fruit/nuts)
  • Crystal glasses
  • Carpets
  • Checks
  • Gardens used for beauty and meditation instead of for herbs and kitchen.
  • University
  • Optics
  • Music
  • Toothbrush
  • Hospitals
  • Bathing
  • Quilting
  • Mariner’s Compass
  • Soft drinks
  • Pendulum
  • Braille
  • Cosmetics
  • Plastic surgery
  • Calligraphy
  • Manufacturing of paper and cloth
It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on………..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Anders Breivik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!
