We are the last generation who can hear from these survivors directly. Do not take that lightly. Do not waste that opportunity. Do not forget your freedom isn’t infinitely guarenteed. And do not, do not, let it happen again.
Really truly, watch the video, reblog it. Teaching about the holocaust is so necessary for our generation before it slips under the rug and people forget about it.
been watching livestreams of US news channels lately and
1) they have a LOT of commercial breaks
2) i didn’t realize that ads for medicine were actually like this
ppl keep reblogging this and asking “well what are the medicine ads like in your country” and like…there aren’t any? It’s literally illegal to advertise prescription medicine here?
i appreciate the fact that she’s probably one of the only black youtubers in korea that i’ve seen that have discussed this issue in depth. especially since the majority of her videos are humorous. i linked the whole video below!
this is exactly why i can’t get down w k-pop or anything else related to it. the antiblackness is so loved there and it’s allowed to happen w.o question. it’s so disgusting and demeaning. meanwhile diehard, ignorant non-Black k-pop fans will call you racist if you call this out and expect them to be reprimanded bc “they’re from Korea and they’re not as socially aware or as knowledgeable!!!” which is actually hella racist in itself and infantilizing as hell.
When Brock Turner, a former student at Stanford University in California, was sentenced in June 2016 to only six months for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, many people were understandably outraged. And they were even more angry when Turner was released on September 2nd after serving only half of his already meagre sentence.
In response to this miscarriage of justice, Yana Mazurkevich, a 20-year-old student at Ithaca College in New York, decided to create the photo series you can see below. The project, titled “It Happened”, was made for a sexual assault awareness media platform called Current Solutions, and as you can see, the message is pretty powerful. As Mazurkevich wrote on her Facebook page, “In response to Brock Turner’s early release, this photo series aims to continue the conversation on sexual assault, As well as to raise a huge finger to Turner and his 3-month jail time.” (Source)
