"You shouldn't fight fire with fire"

Tue, 21 May 2013 15:41:07 +1000

It’s what they always say when they want you to ignore how they’re letting you burn.

We cannot return ashes to their former life… but we can grow anew, with immunity to flame.

We will revert this malignancy with nothing less than our powerful heat, our refusal to be stifled by those who fear it, fear the history that sparked us into existence.

You balk at the thought of a heat rash.

We don’t fight fire, we are the fire.

Fighting fire with fire sometimes is the best and only way to go as we might burn ourselves in the fight for equality, but we also burn down the gardens that grow hate.

ibelieveinitmiracleromance:

Today’s featured hairstyle is Neo Queen Serenity’s hair, seen frequently throughout R, particularly from episode 83 onward.

Being Usagi’s future self, Neo Queen Serenity is clearly meant to appear as an older, more graceful and elegant version of Usagi. However, we do still get to see her silly side occasionally— we learn from Diana in SuperS that the Queen and King often fake illnesses to get out of meetings, and she is quite excited by the souvenirs that Chibiusa brings to the future, asking for more. Although many have an almost goddess-like image of Neo Queen Serenity, it is clear that she is simply Usagi doing her best to bring love and hope to the people of Earth, all the while striving to maintain her own identity and raise her daughter well.

Her hair is of course similar to that of Usagi’s, but it is longer, with a more distinct curl at the end, and some looser pieces framing her face as she had when she was Princess Serenity. It seems to trail on to the floor, giving her an ethereal appearance. Rather than the hair pearls she has as Princess Serenity, she wears a crown, affirming her position as Queen.

Just an interesting note… the heart with wings on her crown somewhat resembles the Crisis Moon Compact from SuperS:

Perhaps this was an intentional reference to Usagi’s position as future royalty, and Chibiusa’s position as Princess?

abagond:

There should be a White History Month in America. That way we can teach all about the things White Americans have done in history, like:

Cherokee Trail of Tears

Japanese American internment

Philippine-American War

Jim Crow

The genocide of Native Americans

Transatlantic slave trade

The Middle Passage

The history of White American racism

Black Codes

Slave patrols

Ku Klux Klan

The War on Drugs

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

How white racism grew out of slavery and genocide

How whites still benefit from slavery and genocide

White anti-racism

The Southern strategy

The rape of black slave women

CORE

Madison Grant

The Indian Wars

Human zoos

How the Jews became white

White flight

Redlining

Proposition 14

Homestead Act

Tulsa Riots

Rosewood massacre

Tuskegee Experiment

Lynching

Hollywood stereotypes

Indian Appropriations Acts

Immigration Act of 1924

Sundown towns

Chinese Exclusion Act

Emmett Till

Vincent Chin

Islamophobia

Indian boarding schools

King Philip’s War

Bacon’s Rebellion

American slavery compared to Arab, Roman and Latin American slavery

History of the gun

History of the police

History of prisons

History of white suburbia

Lincoln’s racism and anti-racism

George Wallace

Fox News

Cointelpro

Real estate steering

School tracking

Mass incarceration of black men

Boston school busing riots

And so on. No fear of running out of topics: there is more than one a day! I am sure my commenters can come up with tons more, probably some big ones that are not coming to mind at the moment (I did not list slavery, the abolitionist movement, the civil war, Reconstruction or Lincoln since they are, in fact, covered in history class, however poorly).
