“It annoys me more when people draw Korra fat then when they get her skin color wrong. ”
Cuz who cares about whitewashing when somebody might think she’s fat?
Since being fat is apparently the worst thing in the world. Much worse than, y’know, actual fucking issues like RACISM.
Just as long as Korra is thin, we good.
Oh my god. This person doesn’t get it. Snape didn’t tell Voldemort to kill James and Harry so he could have her. He asked Dumbledore to hide the entire Potter family. Quoted as “Hide them. Hide them all. I beg you.” Pay more attention, muggle. Merlin.
Whoever confessed this is a moron. I try not to hate, I really do, but ignorance in the face of one of the most touching, sincere relationships in literature I will not tolerate. First of all, “real love” is not whatever Twilight crap you subscribe to, it is sixteen years of watching over the child of not only your love since CHILDHOOD but the child of your mortal enemy. Imagine what it would have put Snape though every day to see James, the man who bullied him and insulted him and loathed him all through school, basically reincarnated in front of him in young Harry. And it was basically a constant reminder of his own failure to win Lily, and the heartbreak, anguish and death that ensued partly because of that. But did Snape EVER put Harry in danger? Did he EVER break his promise to Dumbledore? Did he ever NOT care for Harry, in his own way? No. He never stopped protecting him, all for Lily’s memory. Yes, he gave him more than his fair share of crap. And I’m not saying he was within his rights to do that. But it was always his love for Lily that restrained his hand, the ghost of Lily he could still see in Harry’s eyes that gave him the strength to look pseudo-James in the eye and make the decision time after time to protect him, his love for Lily that changed his patronus and ultimately what led to his last sacrifice at the hands of Voldemort. Remember his disgust when Dumbledore revealed his plans for Harry? “Like a pig raised for slaughter!” were his words, and he was shocked. Maybe you could argue Snape had grown to care for Harry after all those years, and certainly that would be a comforting notion. But I hold that it was his love for Lily that carried him through it. He never stopped loving her, not even at the moment when he died, when his last wish was for Harry to look at him, so he could look into Lily’s eyes once more. If you have seriously read the books and not just seen the movies or gone on hearsay, you will know that what you posted is just wrong and ignorant, and I can proudly say that it is an honor defending the reputation of their love from the likes of you who would slander it.
^^^^^^^
Plus, not anywhere did Snape TELL Voldemort to kill Lily’s son.
Why has nobody who submits this kind of confession ever read the fucking books? When Snape overheard the prophecy he didn’t know who it refered to or that Voldemort would target the Potters. As soon as Snape learned that they were the target he went to Dumbledore and turned double agent so that Dumbledore would protect them.
Snape has done many shitty/evil things and he’s by no means perfect. He’s flawed and human.
But let’s not make up bullshit that didn’t happen.
From the book: Snape:”..He thinks it means her son, he is going to hunt her down, kill them all..”
Dumbledore:”If she means so much to you surely Lord Voldemort will spare her? Could you not ask for mercy for the mother, in exchange for the son?”
Snape:”I have..I have”
So the only thing wrong is the mention of James, but it did happen.
Yes, but then Voldemort refused to leave Lily out of it and Snape then offered to turn traitor to protect her.
Yes, he didn’t mind if someone who bullied him horribly in school died. Or some random kid he didn’t know. But he did do whatever he could to protect her. And most certainly did not get Voldemort to try and kill Harry and James just so “he could have her”.
I’m not saying he was perfect, or his love was perfect either. But to dismiss it as not “real” or say he set out to get James and Harry killed for selfish reasons is untrue.
(And he did spend the rest of his life trying to keep Harry alive based solely on the fact that she would have wanted it. Yes, he bullied Harry which is awful. But he’s a complicated character who’s neither good nor bad. I never see Dumbledore get this crap despite how horribly he, by his own admission, treated Harry. I see it as Dumbledore offered that good face but did terrible things to manipulate Harry on the sly. Snape was cruel to Harry, but ultimately did his best to protect him and be honest.)
Again. The bets part of HP, for me, is that no character covers out fully bad or fully evil. All have flaws and are human.

Because I still am one. Because it never goes away. Because as a white person, I have absorbed messages for my entire life that I am better than the majority of people on earth, I have absorbed messages telling me that the only lives worth caring about are the ones belonging to those with pale skin. Every day of my life, I absorb more messages that tell me that. Those voices in my head are pretty loud.
There is no “delete” button for that.
What can happen is that the voices of people of color can be louder. If you really listen, if you commit yourself to looking whiteness in the face for what it is, you can hear other voices, voices screaming out their own humanity in the face of white supremacy. They shout pretty loudly.
But the racism is still there. It always will be. It never goes away. You can fight it, but you are never absolved.
As soon as you say: “I’m not racist” you wash your hands of any further responsibility to fight those messages that tell you that white skin makes you better, that anyone without it doesn’t deserve empathy or human dignity. As soon as you say “I’m not racist” you commit yourself fully to racism.
Yup.
I’m not racist.
I don’t know where the fuck you grew up pal but around these here parts we got taught that everyone is equal no matter what colour their skin is.
So how about you stop speaking for everyone else kthnx.
p.s I’m not racist
After reading your response here, I feel I need to block you for the sake of my own emotional and mental safety. I hope that you understand, and I hope that there are no hard feelings.
Did I just really see “P.S. I’m not racist”
REALLY
DO WHITE PEOPLE REALLY THINK THAT WORKS????
Hey asshole,
Unless you were raised on the goddamn moon, you were raised in a racist society.
White people, like me, will never not be racist. Because our whole lives are built and constructed on racism. You live in Canada or the USA? Congrats. Just like me you live on stolen land.
Racism affects every aspect of our lives. Only difference being as white people, you and I have the privilege to lie to ourselves that racism is over.
Your colorblind bullshit? RACIST. Because you are denying what POC go through everyday living in this fucked up racist world.
Even fanatics like al-Qaeda aren’t really aggressors. They’re fighting a defensive war, trying to force us out. The Western media never publish their demands because they are so reasonable. They basically come down to, “Go home and leave us alone. Pull your soldiers, your CIA agents, your missionaries, your corporations out of Muslim territory. If you do that, we’ll stop attacking you.” Nothing about destroying the West or forcing it to become Islamic. Just that the West should stay in the West.
If people knew this — knew how easy it would be to stop terrorism — they wouldn’t want to fight this war. That’s why the media ignore al-Qaeda’s demands. Western leaders don’t want people to see that the war’s real purpose isn’t to stop terrorism but to control the resources of this region. They actually want the terrorism because that gives them the excuse they need — the threat of an evil enemy.
