There are tons of scholarships available simply for being black. White people have to work harder for scholarships.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Welp, Imma just drop this shit right here and maybe one day, your ass will do some research and take a nice helping of STFU.

Caucasian students receive more than three-quarters (76%) of all institutional merit-based scholarship and grant funding, even though they represent less than two-thirds (62%) of the student population. Caucasian students are 40% more likely to win private scholarships than minority students.

HAHAHAHAHAH  i want to laugh and also cry

Bulgarian protester dies after self-immolation

fuckyeahbalkans:

A protester who set himself on fire last month has died, the second fatality following rallies against high power bills and corruption that have toppled a government.

Giving new impetus to daily demonstrations, which are now in their fourth week, Bulgarians prepared to stage memorial services for Plamen Goranov, a 36-year-old artist who set himself alight at the city hall in the Black Sea port of Varna on 20 February.

Mr Goranov has become a symbol for the hundreds of thousands of protesters.

Massive TRIGGER WARNING

[violence, murder, homophobia, anti-gay violence, hate crime]

casual-isms:

Casual ableism and homophobia is Judge Roger Keen sentencing Jordan Sheard to 3 1/2 years in prison for manslaughter. The story: Jordan gatecrashed the 18th birthday party of Steven Simpson, an openly gay autistic man with learning disabilities, and set fire to his body, which had phrases like ‘I love dick’ and ‘gay boy’ scrawled on it, then ran away. Steven died from 60% burns. Judge Roger Keen referred to what was MURDER as ‘good-natured horseplay’. In the past Roger Keen has sentenced a young man to 23 years for murder, but in this sentencing he acted as if Jordan Sheard, who was 20 and didn’t have learning disabilities, didn’t know that setting someone on fire CAN KILL THEM.

Yeaa, don’t think the “casual” part is quite accurate. But this needs to be seen. I’m so sickened and outraged.

Dear Anti-Choice assholes on my campus:

Here’s a test:

I’m holding a baby in one hand and a petri dish holding a fetus in the other.

I’m going to drop one. You chose which.

If you really truly believe a fetus is the same thing as a baby, it should be impossible for you to decide. You should have to flip a coin, that’s how impossible the decision should be.

Shot in the dark, you saved the baby.

Because you’re aware there’s a difference.

Now admit it
