View Larger Not something terrible like the world would have us to believe; every 60 seconds in Africa, life happens, just like it does everywhere else around the world. That includes having good and bad things transgress, but Africa should not solely be seen as a continent where only negative things take place.

View Larger ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you the white supremacist blog network “the axis of evil”
you may notice some familiar faces in this blog network, particularly:
and many other openly racist white supremacist blogs who have been stalking, sending death threats, and hatespamming several people of color on tumblr, particularly riley (dumbthingswhitepplsay).
describing itself as “a directory of right-oriented blogs,” this directory links to two cafepress shops, one named for the blog network itself, “the axis shop”. below is a screenshot of the products being sold by the network’s members:
the designs include the word “fascist” accompanied by an inequality sign and portraits of the norwegian white supremacist mass murderer and terrorist anders behring breivik.
the other shop linked, whiteinnovations, run by one of the blog network members of the same username, exhibits some other interesting designs up for sale:
these people are hardly subtle. if you can stomach it, i suggest checking out some of the evidence for yourself.
white supremacy at its finest




“Hip-Hop isn’t just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can’t just call Hip-Hop a trend!”
“We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it.”
“We call ourselves creators and we just copy.”
“This life is a process of learning.”
“I’m a mess but God is dealing with me every day. That’s what all these songs are about: problem, cause and solution.”
“The only wealth I have to give, is not material - and if you need much more than that, I’m not available.”
“Nobody’s going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?”
“I had to learn the hard way some really important life lessons. There was really no one there to say, don’t do this or don’t do that.”

Anthropomorphic Tree
Anthropomorphism is the recognition of people-like characteristics in animals, plants or non-living things. This tree can be found in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. During the time of slavery in the South, slave ships were often unable to make it through the Outer Banks because of the treacherous landscapes. From the looks of this picture, it seems as if they may have lost some passengers along the way.

An all-white jury found a white former Houston police officer not guilty Wednesday in the videotaped beating of 15-year-old African-American burglary suspect Chad Holley, eliciting cries of outrage from community members.
The jury had deliberated for…
I live in Texas. I live about two hours away from Houston. Y’all, guess what? Houston is actually one of the more accepting/tolerant cities in this part of the state. I’m not surprised, but I am disgusted.
Texas is a trip. People don’t even try to hide their racism in Southeast Texas. It’s right there out in the open. These folks will call you out your name to your face and when things happen, people have NO CONCEPT of things being racist. They always say, “That’s just the way that I was raised.” Uhh… Yo ass was raised racist!
