This is a photo of the first Black girl to attend an all white school in the United States—Dorothy Counts—being jeered and taunted by her white, male peers. This photo encompasses a lot of things that I really hate: prejudice, ignorance, racism, sexism, inequality…
I’ve reblogged this photo a few times before but it always needs to be reblogged again.
This picture makes me really sad. I am unbelievably impressed with her bravery.
what makes me even sadder is i still hear racist remarks given to asian and black people at my school
and we’re in 2011, guys
shouldn’t we have fixed this by now
scuse me while i call up the doctor and travel back in time and punch the assholes laughing behind her IN THE FACE
god
my school is like seventy percent asian so there’s rarely any asian jokes but god we have like two black kids and ugh all the racism jesus puking christ
this person called yuya
at least once a day people tell him to “open your eyes”
and he does a fake laugh
and then they laugh
and cos he shrugs it off instead of telling them why it’s problematic
they keep doing it
