i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

  1. i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 
  2. most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person 
  3. im not a pissbaby

my white friends that have reblogged this give me life

4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP

If ur white and like this post I fux with u

^absolutely

5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.

i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this

6. They’re usually really fucking funny and don’t perpetuate stereotypes that will ever affect me economically, politically, or cause me any true harm, let alone create risks that “justify” my murder and/or death

Waits for my white mutuals to reblog😌

yesyesyesyes

If you don’t reblog I probably won’t like you as a person

If you get the urge, here’s an absolutely free pass to question my cooking skills, dancing ability, and/or dress sense, or whatever else comes to mind based on my whiteness. Somehow I’ll cope.

Yes to alllll of this.

hey guys! because this is just the title of the article and looks can be misleading I just wanted to clarify that the article is mainly talking about how the politician is urging for a change in military exemption rules to accommodate for different accomplishments such as those in the music industry, accomplishments that bts happen to fall under. please read the article for yourselves and also keep in mind that the source is allkpop rather than a more legitimate source!

Hiiii! I just have a question haha do you speak Spanish? Is just that’s weird for a person who doesn’t speak Spanish to know a song so old from don Omar haha

I used to selt-taught myself spanish and is a fan of fast and furious and they used a lot of his song in the movie… I also love his deep ass voice and the emotion in Angelito; and my head suddenly went: vuela, vuela angelito vuela… hahaha. Don Omar is king of kings. But I don’t speak the language and pretty much forgot everything now…byelingual

My music isn’t branched to just English, Mandarin pop and Kpop, I started with Japanese and Spanish and it pretty spiraling to Danish, French, Icelandic… as long as it tugs my heart strings, I’m sold. I’m pretty weird, sorryyyy…

And also, I’m old. I’m like 25.

Hello~ you seem to have most of the answers (pun). I just saw BTS life curves from army zip. Most of their curves dipped after debut. I am a relatively new army, can you explain why they didn’t like their debut? Twt said they struggle most then. TY

it’s not that bts didn’t like their debut but the comments from knetz definitely hurt alot. at first ppl didn’t take them seriously.. bts debuting as a hip hop group was a very risky move considering mainstream korean music tastes so knetz assumed bts would fade away after a year. and bc they came from a small agency it was hard for them to build a fanbase bc bighit didn’t really have the money to promote them properly. bts worked very hard for very little and went through some bad things like plagiarism accusations and ppl always looking down on them 😦

before bts, namjoon and yoongi were underground rappers. they both caught a lot of attention from the k-hip hop community but when they chose to became idols there was a complete 180 degree turn from the khh community and the praises turned into curses. a lot of underground rappers don’t see idol rappers as “real rappers” so they didn’t like nj’s and yoongi’s decision. namjoon especially struggled with a lot of hate which made him very stressed. he felt himself lost and confused about who he is (the ‘who am i?’ in his curve) this confusion continued for a long time (until the beginning 2016) and i think finally in 2017 namjoon learned to accept himself and got over the anger and sadness of his past. (= amor fati

yoongi struggled with depression and social anxiety which still affects him to this day. we know he had some really bad hardships bc he revealed a lot about himself in his first mixtape. his mixtape was definitely a huge a turning point for him but surprisingly his life curve doesn’t really say much about yoongi except that he doesn’t think his “life’s peak has come yet”. i think his life curve is both a bit sad and calming. he’s very self critical but you can see he’s very steady, always looking for improvement. his life curve is a line that slightly curves up. it’s a calming growth in my opinion.

the maknae line (especially jungkook) were young when they became idols. jimin was the last member to be added to bts and he worked super hard to debut and wasn’t sure if he’d ever make it which explains his life curve’s ups and downs before debut. taehyung also had a lot of struggles bc he was just a farmer boy who suddenly moved into a big city. also bighit made him into a “secret” member which meant that he couldn’t make any logs before debut. it definitely didn’t help him fit in the group :/// that’s why there’s sudden drop in his life curve after becoming a trainee. he was definitely very confused before and after debut.

and jungkook… he was a very shy boy :(((( he had difficulties making friends due to his young age and often missed his parents but never voiced anything about his personal struggles to his members bc he didn’t want to burden them. i find it very heartwarming how jungkook’s life curve begins from their debut,,,, it’s as if he’s saying that’s where his life began. anyway you can see from his curve that things did get a bit better for bts when ‘i need u’ era started. compared to ‘danger’, ‘i need u’ sold much better, possibly bc there was a genre shift to a more “pop”-is sound. ‘i need u’ also gave bts their first music show win and even tho they still went through hardships bts endured them much better. after ‘INU’ it got even better with ‘dope’ which did well internationally too!

and lastly hoseok and jin…… they continue being the mysterious ones in the group. their life curves don’t drop even once! but we all already know that they both had so many hardships they went through. jungkook revealed hoseok almost left bts and for the longest time we didn’t know jin was from a wealthy family but CHOSE to leave everything behind to move in with his members in a dorm that was way too small for 7 ppl……… like…….. @ 2seok it’s okay if u don’t want to tell us anything but armys already know your life wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows so… it’s ok to take your mask off sometimes :II

anywayyy..  

armys say this a lot but it’s no joke that bts really did start from the bottom.
