“I remember my friend, a brilliant Kenyan writer, and I once walking the streets of London some years ago, and as he walked past beautiful after beautiful building he would point at one and say ‘this one was payed for by colonial loot from Kenya’ and he would point at another and say ‘this one was payed for by colonial loot from from Nigeria’. It was funny and a bit exaggerated but fundamentally not untrue. There is a link between the affluence of Europe and the poverty of Africa.”

The Stories That Europe Tells Itself About Its Colonial History (via stay-human)
This reminds me of something I watched, either a documentary or a news report, in which some Congolese ex-pats living in Belgium referred to an iconic parliamentary building (if my memory serves me correctly) and called it something along the lines of, “building of the chopped hands”. In short, they were outlining the direct link between Belgium’s “wealth” (I use quotation marks as I don’t believe that anything stolen is worthy of being called the wealth of the thief) and the heinous atrocities committed by Belgian colonialists in the Congo, in order for the tiny European country to steal and use the country’s minerals for Belgian profit.

Okay, Rango got a lot of lukewarm reviews but I though it was actually really entertaining I don’t know what all the negative fuss was about?
no but you should never look up “young Martin Freeman” on Google images because you’ll die of all the adorable baby hedgehog-ness of it all
Maybe the reason why so many serial killers are white is because no one is willing to believe a white person could’ve killed someone until it’s too late.
Many serial killers aren’t white, they even made a book to combat the stereotype.

Over 50% of all serial killers since 1860 have been black but at the same time black people are only 10-12% of americas population.
Yeah, that book changes the term “serial killer” to include single incidents where more than one person was killed as opposed to an actual series of murders. Not to mention how in the video for the book, the author actually references fictional serial killers’ kill counts with actual serial killers. The book is just another attempt to paint poor little white people as victims.
As someone who literally ONLY watches shows on murders ALL day (The First 48 on A&E and 24/7 viewing of Investigation Discovery channel), literally 97% of ALL the murders on those shows are committed by and against white people. Not only that, but I spend a lot of time reading articles, most that don’t make it to national news level, and they are also roughly 95% perpetrated by white people. Please, name me 5 POC serial killers? America is #1 in serial killers. I could name several off the top: John Wayne Gacy Jr, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, BTK, Green River Killer, The Truck Stop Killer, Son of Sam, Aileen Wuornos, and those are all since the last 4 decades. Of POC… I can think of the D.C. sniper. Oop.
lol seriously WAT
I witnessed a gluteus so rotund, it made me question my existence.
I wanted to approach the maiden to inquire, “How did you procure such a curvaceous figure? Pray, let me fondle it, for the night is young.” I would it grab ahold firmly, and squeeze for dear life. Oh, the cellulite would feel wondrous and supple underneath the satin garment!
But alas, she evaded my view for the remainder of the night. Miserable fortune, I doth protest.
