yeah this needed to be said cause ive seen those comment sections and yall are disgusting to say the least…

the fact that the notes on this post are like, largely people arguing about how “18-24 year olds are still baby” says a lot about how y’all would rather miss the point on purpose than like, change the way you talk to/about asian ppl

Now that the Parasite in chief has had her platinum Jubilee, i thought id share some fun facts about the monarchy in the UK and the Queen in particular. All of this information is easily found online.

-The Queen negotiated clauses in the equality and Diversity Act so she wouldn’t have to hire ‘coloured or foreign’ staff in the palace. that clause is still there today.

-The Queen tried to use The State Poverty Fund to heat Buckingham Palace even with her own personal fortune.

-She lobbied the Scottish Parliament 67 times to ensure that new wildlife protections laws woudn’t apply to her estates there.

-The main throne she sits on is worth an estimated £40,000,000,000. Her jewellery Collection worth circa £5,000,000,000 made with 28, 578 diamonds and gemstones, almost all of which were stolen from countries Britain invaded and enslaved…sorry colonised. She also banned the Police from searching her estates for stolen artifacts.

-Her crown estate is one of the largest property owners in the country. It has over 26 Royal residencies, inc 9 palaces that remain mostly empty and property portfolio that generates £300 million per year. Yet she had a family thrown out during the covid eviction ban for a £32 unpaid bill.

Her son is a nonce ( pedophile) that she protected through a £12 million payout.

-The 'free’ book that was sent to every school to tell kids how wonderful the queen is cost the taxpayer £12 million.

-She has £420 million personal wealth, which doesn’t include that for-mentioned crown estate or her antique furniture or her jewellery collection or all the stolen gold.

-She and her family cost the tax payer £345 million per year in security and other protections.

-The jubilee cost the tax payer £28 million , set aside by the chancellor for the purpose of funding it. Whilst there are currently 14.5 million people living in poverty here in the UK.

Celebrating the incredibly rich, racist and privileged whilst millions of our own citizens are suffering is disgusting.

Some sources:

- Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal (2021) (the article says that there is no longer a ban as of the 1990s, however the clause is still there to allow a ban.)

- Queen asked for poverty grant to heat palaces (2010)

- Revealed: Queen vetted 67 laws before Scottish parliament could pass them (2021) (It’s unknown if any of the laws were amended due to her lobbying, but the lawmakers were required to get her approval.)

- Revealed: police barred from searching Queen’s estates for looted artefacts (2021)

- Hampton Court mews row: Couple face eviction 'over £32 bill’ (2020) (The tenant was using a communal socket to power his electric car.)

- Prince Andrew settles US civil sex assault case with Virginia Giuffre (2022) Prince Andrew pays settlement ending sex assault case (2022) (Guiffre was 17 at the time of the assault. The settlement was initially estimated at 12-14 million, in which case he probably couldn’t have afforded it (without the Queen’s help?), but some reports say that it was as little as 3 million by the end. IDK I couldn’t find anything firm from a reputable source.)

- Queen’s jubilee book for schools to cost £12m (2021)

i will never not be angry at white fantasy authors being like “this is fake russia and this is fake germany and this is fake scandinavia and this is fake netherlands and this is fake amsterdam” then turn around and be like “oh but there’s only one fake collective african country and one fake collective asian country”

There’s a Twitter thread breaking it down

Updated as BCF is no longer taking donations and asking for donations to other groups such as Black Love Resists in the Rust (I fundraised for them through 2020 Bakers Against Racism) and Rooted In Love.

the racism/orientalism/antisemitism/homophobia/general “fear of the other” in dracula is such an integral part of the text and i feel like you are missing so much of what dracula is about if you are not picking up on those overtones. i love dracula a lot but i don’t think there is any use in ignoring those aspects of it or pretending they don’t exist - in fact, i think that would show a very shallow understanding of the text. i don’t have any resentment towards ppl who are reading dracula daily and making silly little joke posts about their friend jonathan harker, i love to make those jokes as well, but i do hope that the experience of reading this novel helps some people understand the sheer xenophobia and bigotry that is at the heart of this novel and lots of other iconic horror fiction. i’ve learned not to underestimate the obliviousness of white gentiles but i hope people realize it is not random that count dracula has nebulous eastern ancestry and his plan is to take over england like i hope that does not go over your guys heads.

so the academy is reviewing whether or not to remove Will Smith’s award and here are some interesting tweets about that :)

i hate these posts about how mitski is not being respected as an artist and “people don’t respect art and artists” which is true, they don’t, but these posts NEVER touch on the fact shes a woman of color with a fanbase made up largely of white women. are we seriously pretending that has no significance at all when her fans disregard and violate her feelings and opinions, oversimplify her music as “sad girl female manipulator music”, and their choice to consume her as a product rather than seeing her as an artist whos work they respect??

No one is fucking talking about it but another black man was killed by the same police department that killed George Floyd they killed him 9 seconds after entering his apartment. No knock warrants are fucking bullshit. He was wrapped in his blanket he was innocent they had the wrong address there is body can cottage you cannot fucking deny this bullshit.

This is being hushed up and covered up and I cannot believe it took me until TODAY, SIX DAYS AFTER IT HAPPENED to find out about it.

Everyone should be talking about this shit.

All the BLM protests and here we are again. We cannot let a single one of these slide because that’s how nothing changes and that’s how innocent people are being killed at the hands of assholes who are happy to pull the trigger without hesitation. I’m so fucking upset right now and so should you be.

EDIT: THE ORIGINAL POST SAID NINE MINUTES I MEANT TO SAY NINE SECONDS

Amir Locke was murdered on February 3rd of 2022, 7 DAYS AGO. He was 22 years old. The police did not have a warrant, and his name wasn’t on their search list. 

What was his crime? Sleeping in his cousin’s house. 

He was a licensed gun owner, and when the Minneapolis police stormed the house, he grabbed his gun in reaction to protect himself. The police immediately started firing, shooting three times and murdering Amir Locke.

“His crime” was fucking SLEEPING.

Reblog this shit. Tell your friends and family. Say his fucking name. It’s been two years since the murder of George Floyd, and the same fucking police department has killed another innocent Black man.
