straight people shut up challenge
Frank stop. Go read a book or yell at a cloud it would be just as useful as this statement you left on Twitter.
He did add this later, which isā¦ something?
[x] good ending
This is what people mean when they say that privilege is invisible to the people who have it. It never occurred to him that knowing someoneās orientation would be important to anyone, because to him, a straight man, representation is everywhere. Itās overabundant. Itās so common as to be taken for granted. To him, representation of his sexuality isnātĀ important because itās there.Ā
I love that he learned. I love watching people understand their own blind spots when it comes to privilege.Ā

the LAPD is having a town hall and getting fucking eviscerated
The automated YouTube captions are bad in places so here is a transcription of this incredible call.
[Video description: A Zoom call featuring a video grid of seven attendees, all of whom are members of the Los Angeles Police Commission. There is a timer in the upper left corner for callers keeping them to two minutes. The current caller is Jon Barr.]
LAPC President Eileen Decker, responding to the question ācan you hear me?ā: Yes, we can.
Barr: Great. Uh, first things first: Chief Moore, youāve got to do a better job of pretending you care about this, man. Iāve been watching you roll your eyes and offer halfhearted smirks acting like a teenager whoās falling asleep in detention. Are you not aware of the war crimes your departmentās doing, or are you just that impatient to go do more of them? I see a lot of you, particularly Soboroff, only react when folks use profanity in their remarks. If you think curse words are bad, wait until you hear about these 600-plus murders your department has committed over the last seven years! As long as Mooreās out here equating peaceful protestors with cops who murder black people, you all could pretend to be as angry about murder as the F-word, okay kids? I know youāre all having a rough day, what with everyone here telling you youāre bad at your jobs. Have you considered being good at your jobs? If not, you could find new jobs in retail or restaurants. I know how desperate Garcetti is to get Angelenos consuming again during a global pandemic. Where were the curfews then, by the way? Weird. Chief Moore is morally obligated to resign. Mikey, I know you said you didnāt mean protestors are as much to blame for George Floydās murder as his murderers ā thatās a lie! It is what you meant! And we all know it. Mikeyās made it clear in his racist actions and empty platitudes that he doesnāt care about the well-being of his constituents. He loves to tear gas them, blind them, force them indoors with curfews that are announced only a half-hour before they take effect, and racially profile as he does so! Donāt think I didnāt hear about how yesterday you sent out an alert in English saying curfew started at 5PM, and sent out an alert right after in Spanish saying it started at 6! Whatās up with that, bud? All your cute Zoom background photos of the city wonāt trick us into thinking you care about anyone but yourselves and whatās in your pockets. To close with a James Cameron quote, āCops think of all non-cops as less than they are: stupid, weak, and evil. They dehumanize the people they are sworn to protect, and desensitize themselves in order to do that job.ā Thatās you pigs to a T. Black lives matter, act like it. Happy Tuesday.
This one was amazing.
Iām also a big fan of this one- short and sweet
[Video description: Zoom call featuring a video grid of seven attendees, all of whom are members of the Los Angeles Police Commission. There is a timer in the upper left corner for callers set to 30 seconds. The current caller is Jeremy Frisch.]
Frisch: Hello can you hear me?
Woman: Hi, yes.
Frisch [getting progressively louder and angrier]: Black lives matter, defund the police. I find it disgusting that the LAPD is slaughtering peaceful protestors on the street. I had two friends go to the protest in Beverly Hills a couple days ago and the protest was peaceful until the police showed up with their excessive violent force, shooting rubber bullets and throwing tear gas.
[Frisch is now yelling]
Is this what you think is protecting and serving? Because I think itās bullshit! Fuck you Michael Moore! I refuse to call you an officer or a chief because you donāt deserve those titles. You are a disgrace! Suck my dick and choke on it! I yield my time. FUCK YOU!
Holy mother of FUCK they went off
Thank you, thank you thank you for transcribing this because I was in a position with my āneutralā family where I couldnāt listen. Thank you](https://pics.ballmemes.com/wwwwyamd-a-humble-waffle-burn-brighter-than-fire-oxfordcommaforever-etanselian-sexhaver-the-lapd-is-having-72578016.png)

John Boyega at Hyde Park (lLondon)
Ā āWe are a physical representation of our support for George Floyd. We are a physical representation of our support for Sandra Bland. We are a physical representation of our support for Trayvon Martin. We are a physical representation of our support for Stephen Lawrence.ā Boyega, 28, added: āIām speaking to you from my heart. Look, I donāt know if Iām going to have a career after this, but f*** that.
āToday is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we donāt know what George Floyd could have achieved, we donāt know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today weāre going to make sure that wonāt be an alien thought to our young ones.ā
āI need you to understand how painful this sh*t is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing and that isnāt the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.ā
