What Should My Next Amalgam Book Be About? | C. M. Weller on Patreon
Put your oar in. No payments necessary.
Why isn’t this on the news everywhere right now? Talking about it would bring up the long history of white racism expressed through the burning of Black churches (sometimes with people inside) and the mass media’s job is to protect, project and perpetuate the illusion of white innocence. Here the victims are Black and most likely in all these cases the arsonists are white racist. The media will do anything to avoid that conversation. However that purse snatching Black kid? Yea they’ll break into regular programming for that.
And you wonder why white people cant talk about race or racism without shorting a circuit.

Sick Sad World: dear mass media
dear mass media: i do not need to lose weight fast, find an all in one wrinkle cream, or use a mascara that makes my eyelashes look longer. i don’t need to have firm, smooth, touchable skin and i will not be finding the ‘goddess in me’ by shaving my legs….
Dear MassMedia:
I don’t shave unless I want to. I choose to have free range legs. I do not wear or buy makeup unless I feel like it. I do not need your scary chemical bullshit to “be a better me” or whatever crap tagline you’ve come up with this week.
I do not buy magazines featuring underfed fashion models. Which is pretty much all of them.
I do not watch your advertising when I can possibly avoid it. And when I can’t - I mock the living crap out of it.
I can spot a photoshop job at fifty paces. Your ideal of “beauty” looks like an underfed alien with a bad weave.
So fuck you. I’m doing what I like for me. Now shut up.
[Seriously, every woman on Tumblr and elsewhere needs to write a Dear Mass Media post. Send a message!]
