boy am I tired of this shit that “black people are more oppose to same sex marriage cause u know”. well fuck you. tired of this bullshit fauxgress and this bullshit polite racism

The only time I will care about gay marriage is for reasons like this. It’s worth noting that “Hispanics” surveyed still mostly oppose gay marriage, but their numbers were higher than white people.

Of course, CIS White men HAVE white privilege. their beliefs will not be altered for anyone. A religious black or latino person may not agree with gay marriage, and not even like gay people, but I doubt someone in the mission or HP REALLY GIVES A FUCK about what the fags are up to in castro….they have more important things to worry about…and besides they know that they aren’t the be all end all regarding the world…

“Still something feels off with the ad. Maybe it would of been better if they had taken both subjects in to the studio and shot them behind a plain backdrop like American Apparel does with most ads and included a caption about agricultural workers and how they’re paid so little that chances are they can’t even afford a plain $18 American Apparel t-shirt.”

It just looks so uncomfortable for both of them.

no they did not use him as a prop for a white bitch to hold onto. they. did. not.

i want ANY white feminist to come tell me white women know anything of men of colors oppression UNDER them. i wanna hear all about that shit.

fucking assholes.

white feminists, you’re up.

this is pretty awful

but…what does this have to do with feminism

You mean with WHITE feminism? Because White feminists stay telling folks that they are more oppressed than ALL men including men of color and demanding solidarity from women of color as they continually advocate only for themselves and their materially privileged, cis, White, able-bodied sistren while throwing the rest of us all the way under the bus.

oh, ok, i just didn’t see that happening on this picture so i was confused

*blink*

*blink*

*blink*

So unless, it’s happening in a picture, right then, right in front of you there is no outside much less SOCIETAL context for you to take into account? Or is that only when it makes White women look bad?

Yanno what? Forget it. My can shipment sank to the bottom of the ocean so all I got are can’ts for you.

woooooow…how sad…..pobresito Raul…just a prop…..

Someone really asked what this has to do with feminism!?!?

Look at the photo:
The white model is smirking in one photo, has her body at an angle, and her arms are around one of his arms.
Raul is looking directly at the camera, his arms literally are pulling away from hers, and his facial expression does not look like he is enjoying himself.

American Apparel has a long history of sexualizing and exploiting their white models, according to many folks, and have been called out on it by a lot of people (especially white feminist). So, it’s save to say that people keep an eye on what type of marketing techniques AA uses. Yet, this photo is almost a year old and no one even said anything until a brown man tweeted it. Where are people speaking out about the humanity and autonomy lacking in this image?

This has everything to do with (white) feminism because white feminist will have you believe that it is the white women who is powerless in this image because she standing next to a man. While completely ignoring that the brown mans body language and entire being read as not having the capacity to have a choice. She is the one that’s reaching out and invading his personal space, she is the one with the liberty to relax.

This has everything to do with feminism because his brown body is being used as a commodity, she looks to be wearing him as a purse, while ignoring that he is a human being who has the right to dictate what is an isn’t okay to him. This has to do with feminism because white women want everyone to believe they don’t have the capacity to oppress anyone, while this image is proof of the ways that white women still have the capacity to oppress with their presence and the forcefulness of their existence.

Oh shut the fuck up….they are both being used as a commodity to sell clothes. Who cares about what happens in advertisements they aren’t true expression anyone, they are highly contrived messages from capitalists looking to sell you junk you don’t need and would be better off not buying anyway. No ad contains a soul, they will use whatever works in raising their awareness/selling more junk. you by reblogging this and turning this into an issue (yet failing to see the true problem) are only working to further the aim of this ad. 

oh and by the way you don’t know how much he was paid, so don’t pretend like you do.

Looks like 30 Rock will be back.

Looks like Whitney will not.

Looks like Up All Night has an uphill battle.

Looks like Parks and Rec has a 50/50 chance.

Looks like Community has a slightly worse chance than Parks and Rec.

AS A POC IM OFFENDED THAT YOU WATCH NBC THURSDAY NITE. ITS A HOTBED OF WHITENESS AND REINFORNCES RACIAL NOTIONS THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN. YOU ARE A FRAUD.
