I tripped when that white girl and boy said they're being discriminated against in scholarships and they're are basically none for them and then the host talked to someone in the field and just laid out the facts.
It got to be soul crushing to literally see your whole race/people just evaporating. No wonder drug and alcoholism is crazy high for native Americans.
That part too good, He actually found out White are actually getting more scholarships then they should by population
All the money in the world can't help you cope with your people being exterminated like pests. Sad part is I'm not even sure the majority of native Americans are getting paid like some of the ones here in so cal
nah I seen some documentaries on some tribes in the Midwest, and especially in Alaska, and a lot of them are hovering around the poverty line.
Man that's a shame. I'd give my 40 acres and a mule to help those dudes.

Dead honest, I'm thinking of getting a gun license. At least. Getting a gun in NYC is a difficult process, but my trust in the NYPD and cops in general is in the negatives.

is there an online link for this documentary?
Yeah, it was one of the Facebook comments Slayven posted.
I'm sick of this "we need to educate ignorant people, not let them face consequences" shit every time someone loses their job for something stupid they said.

At least regular forests aren't constantly trying to kill you....
Here's another good post, from reddit
Imagine that you're sitting down to dinner with your family, and while everyone else gets a serving of the meal, you don't get any. So you say "I should get my fair share." And as a direct response to this, your dad corrects you, saying, "everyone should get their fair share." Now, that's a wonderful sentiment -- indeed, everyone should, and that was kinda your point in the first place: that you should be a part of everyone, and you should get your fair share also. However, dad's smart-ass comment just dismissed you and didn't solve the problem that you still haven't gotten any!
The problem is that the statement "I should get my fair share" had an implicit "too" at the end: "I should get my fair share, too, just like everyone else." But your dad's response treated your statement as though you meant "only I should get my fair share", which clearly was not your intention. As a result, his statement that "everyone should get their fair share," while true, only served to ignore the problem you were trying to point out.
That's the situation of the "black lives matter" movement. Culture, laws, the arts, religion, and everyone else repeatedly suggest that all lives should matter. Clearly, that message already abounds in our society.
The problem is that, in practice, the world doesn't work the way. You see the film Nightcrawler? You know the part where Renee Russo tells Jake Gyllenhal that she doesn't want footage of a black or latino person dying, she wants news stories about affluent white people being killed? That's not made up out of whole cloth -- there is a news bias toward stories that the majority of the audience (who are white) can identify with. So when a young black man gets killed (prior to the recent police shootings), it's generally not considered "news", while a middle-aged white woman being killed is treated as news. And to a large degree, that is accurate -- young black men are killed in significantly disproportionate numbers, which is why we don't treat it as anything new. But the result is that, societally, we don't pay as much attention to certain people's deaths as we do to others. So, currently, we don't treat all lives as though they matter equally.
Just like asking dad for your fair share, the phrase "black lives matter" also has an implicit "too" at the end: it's saying that black lives should also matter. But responding to this by saying "all lives matter" is willfully going back to ignoring the problem. It's a way of dismissing the statement by falsely suggesting that it means "only black lives matter," when that is obviously not the case. And so saying "all lives matter" as a direct response to "black lives matter" is essentially saying that we should just go back to ignoring the problem.

Reposting from that hotep thread
Is this an actual thing? In terms of colorism in the black community do light skinned men have it worse than dark skinned women? I think dudes buggin. The fuck does being light skinned have to do with being feminine. You're feminine if you exhibit those qualities,like al b sure or prince. Not because you're light skinned. I think you'd be hard pressed to find girls say, "nah, I don't fuck with light skinned dudes". You may very well hear this of dark skinned men and women. This is some twilight zone shit.
that is what people don't understand. What other cause is met with such hate and putdownness?
If there a breast cancer march do folks run out there and say "what about testicular cancer?"

Mr. Bean doesn't see color himself. I wouldn't worry about it.
No. I will say the "light skin = soft" thing has gotten more exposure lately due to social media/hip hop media/etc... popularizing the whole "stop acting so light skin" thing, but most of it is in jest. Regardless, while Meso is right that these mindsets exist it's never been on the level of what dark skin women get.

Not sure. This is the internet though, so it's more than likely somewhere in the web.
