Okay does anyone remember Peter Ramsey, the director of Rise of the Guardians (2012)? He was the first black director of a major animated film.

And now he’s directing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse starring Miles Morales, a half-African American and half-Puerto Rican teenager! It must feel amazing for him to direct a movie where the protagonist looks like him.

Guy is also an unapologetic leftist on twitter who shuts down myths and lies about Antifa, and it’s putting so many pissbabies into hysterics that a leftist black man who does such things is directing such a big movie. The cries of “wahhh what is happening to the entertainment industry” lately are giving me life

My college doesn’t want us to make popcorn in their shitty microwaves

look I’ll be the first to agree colleges couldn’t possibly take more money from us without just making Faustian Bargains but if one more freshman trips a fire alarm at 1am and makes the whole building evacuate because they don’t know how to make popcorn I’m gonna fill the whole lobby with sand

Kent State University

“The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre or the Kent State massacre)[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio during a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.[6][7]”

“There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of 4 million students,[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.[11]”

Student strike of 4 million students! Let’s do that again lol

Don’t forget that basically half the country thought the students deserved it…

Another picture from Kent State.

But it was not just Kent State, eleven days later Mississippi Police fired 150 rounds into a dormitory at Jackson State College, killing 2 and wounding 15 black protesters.

Btw half of the students killed at Kent State weren’t even protesting, they were just there

What in the absolute fuck

When the Irish guy has known about this since he was like 8, but it’s suspiciously hard for Americans to learn about…

I literally only know abt this bc my parents are hippies it’s fucked up

I only had a vague idea of what this was and what happened until I did my own research on it.

When I was 21.
