I was encouraged not to use the word feminism because people felt that it was alienating and separating and the whole idea of the speech was to include as many people as possible. But I thought long and hard and ultimately felt that it was just the right thing to do. If women are terrified to use the word, how on earth are men supposed to start using it?

so far during the RNC

itsstuckyinmyhead:

  1. Steve King claimed that white people have done more for civilization than non whites
  2. Melania Trump plagiarized a speech from Michelle Obama (that’s symbolic)
  3. Trump campaign denies that they plagiarized Michelle’s speech and cites a quote from my little pony 
  4. Alaska yells at Ryan Paul for miscounting their votes
  5. Milo gets his twitter account deleted for abuse right before his gaysfortrump event (haha #FuckMilo)
  6. Chris Christie lead a witch trail 
  7. Stephen Colbert took the microphone dressed as Caesar and claimed that he was starting the hungry for power games and then was escorted off stage but not before he said “I know i’m not supposed to be up here but let’s be honest neither is trump”
  8. RNC security tries to cover up a No Racism No Hate sign with an American flag (symbolic again)
  9. RNC got slammed when Ryan Paul took a selfie with interns, it was just a sea of white people and DNC responded with pictures of their interns who were more diverse 
  10. Donald Trump was announced with “we are the champions” playing which naturally pissed off Queen 
  11. the Internet lost it because  “We Are the Champions” is sung by Fred Mercury, a Bi man who died of AIDs in 1991 and Trump’s VP thinks HIV/AIDs funding should go to conversion therapy 
  12. Laura Ingraham did a Nazi salute for .5 seconds which could have been a mistake (hmmmm)
  13. Ted Cruz refused to endorse Trump and was booed off stage (fuck ted cruz though he’s worse than Trump but damn that took some balls)

Unarmed Black Man With Hands Up Shot By Police.

Charles Kinsey, 47, a behavior therapist from South Florida was shot in the leg three times by the police in North Miami while laying on the ground with his arms up and trying to help his patient with autism who had run away from a group home.

It all started when someone called 911 and said there was a man walking around with a gun. However it was Kinsey’s patient who was sitting on the ground cross-legged, playing with a toy truck.

Charles got shot by police despite telling them he was only trying to help his patient.

The police shot him, handcuffed him and left him on ground bleeding.

North Miami police have not released much information at
all. They haven’t released the officer’s name, they haven’t given us an update
on the investigation. However, they did say that the state attorney is now a part of
this investigation.
