your indifference to pedophiles online gives them a platform to continue to hurt and groom children. you spreading a pedophile’s art or writing “because it’s good” gives them a way to draw in younger fans to prey on. your insistence that “not all pedophiles are bad” is an attempt to humanize and normalize pedophilia and that means that you are part of the problem even if you are not a pedophile yourself. the only way to support children is to be against pedophiles in every space, online or irl.

Shirley Chisholm. As the first black woman to run for president for a major political party, she was years ahead of her time. So why don’t more people know about her?

  • She championed a bill to ensure domestic workers received benefits, was an advocate for improved access to education, and fought for the rights of immigrants.
  • “She had guts, and she made people believe that they too can be someone, that we are equal, that gender doesn’t mean you can’t achieve the highest office of government,” her goddaughter Marya Boseley says.
  • That desire to break boundaries was what drove Shirley Chisholm to make a run for president in 1972, seeking the Democratic nomination a mere three years after she became a congresswoman.
  • Ms Chisholm, whose slogan was “Unbought and Unbossed,” said she never expected to win but hoped her candidacy would “change the face and future of American politics”.
  • “I stand before you today, to repudiate the ridiculous notion that the American people will not vote for qualified candidates, simply because he is not white or because she is not a male,” she told supporters as she launched her campaign.

I never heard her name in school. Other than hearing Method Man say “I voted for Shirley Chisholm” on Blackout, I knew nothing about her til I read about her on the internet as an adult.

The Democratic Party really fucked Shirley Chisolm over because they wanted a “safe” candidate in George Mcgovern. Then they lost to Nixon.

More and more people who have had their dance moves stolen by fortnite are coming out saying how pissed they are by it. Especially since there’s nothing giving them credit and no royalties from the ones they’re selling.

Sources.

Let’s be real. Nothing new about companies profiting off of shit black people create without giving any credit. I still play fortnite but they are wrong.

Since this is actually getting notes please reblog this version showing proof so people can know that these people aren’t happy at all and we can at least give them credit for their creations.
