Sometimes I want to form my own Hunger Games. Oops.
you racist tits!
I have no words for these ignorant assholes.
Obviously you can’t read.
“I throw my spear, which I’m not too bad at actually, if I don’t have to throw too far, and see the little girl from District 11 standing back a bit, watching us. She’s the twelve-year-old, the one who reminded me so of Prim in stature. Up close she looks about ten. She had bright, dark eyes and satiny brown skin and stands tilted up on her toes with her arms slightly extended to her sides, as if ready to take wing at the slightest sound. It’s impossible not to think of a bird.
I pick up another spear while Peeta throws. “I think her name’s Rue,” he says softly.” - The Hunger Games, pages 98-99
“The boy from District 11, Thresh, has the same dark skin as Rue, but the resemblance stops there. He’s one of the giants, probably six and a half feet tall and built like an ox…” - The Hunger Games, page 126(via madgesstrawberries)

Hunger Games: Rue Was My Baby and She Was Loved
What I think I find most chilling about the Hunger Games/Rue responses is the theme that black girls are not worthy of mourning. I mourned Rue, when she died, I mourned her fully and I did so knowing full well who she was. This outrage from people at having wasting a good cry over little black girl, makes me think of Hagar’s funeral in Song of Solomon where Pilate cries out “That was my baby! And she was loved!” If even in fiction, the only ones who mourn little black girls are black women, then pass me that bag of bones over yonder and help me chuck this bellybutton, I’ve got some more wailing to do.

You know things are hella real when animalstalkinginallcaps mention Trayvon Martin.
SO WAIT, LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: A 26 YEAR OLD WITH A GUN FOLLOWS A COMPLETELY UNARMED 17 YEAR OLD FOR A FEW BLOCKS, CALLS THE COPS TO REPORT A “SUSPICIOUS” PERSON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN GETS OUT OF HIS CAR AND SHOOTS HIM, AGAINST POLICE ORDERS, WITH NO WITNESSES, AND HE ISN’T ARRESTED BECAUSE HE CLAIMS SELF DEFENSE?
YEP, THE GUY HAD A NOSEBLEED. SO, YOU KNOW … IT’S ENTIRELY PLAUSIBLE THE KID HIT HIM.
DIDN’T SHANE JUST GIVE HIMSELF A NOSEBLEED ON THE WALKING DEAD LAST NIGHT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE HE’D BEEN ATTACKED? ISN’T THAT LIKE … A SHITTY CLICHÉ AT THIS POINT?
MAYBE THEY DON’T HAVE DISAPPOINTING ZOMBIE SOAP OPERAS IN FLORIDA.
OKAY, BUT EVEN IF THE 17 YEAR OLD PUNCHED THE GUY, WHICH IS KIND OF UNDERSTANDABLE IF YOU’RE BEING STALKED BY A STRANGER IN A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE WHO GETS OUT AND ACCOSTS YOU, AN UNARMED KID ISN’T ACTUALLY “LIFE THREATENING” TO A GROWN MAN. I MEAN, YOU MIGHT GET YOUR EYE DOTTED, BUT YOU’RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE, SO USING LETHAL FORCE IS STILL USING TOO MUCH FORCE, EVEN IF YOU WERE A POLICE OFFICER AND NOT JUST SOME FAT DICKHEAD RACIST PIECE OF SHIT WITH A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT, RIGHT?
THAT’S WHY WE DON’T LIVE IN FLORIDA, CARL. WELL, THAT AND THE WHOLE ELECTION FRAUD THING.
AND THE HUMIDITY.
AND THE HUMIDITY.
