Oh my head

Remember how I was talking a little about The Hunger Games and it's social commentary?  I just finished reading a blog about the frenzy this movie has caused.  And not in a good way.  Teenagers have gone off about Rue being black.  What.  The.  Fuck.

It's making me ill to see all this hate, coming from the generation that should supposedly be more open minded than the previous one.  Just goes to show how much work there is still to be done.

Read the SheWired article to get links to the other pages.   Horrendous.

I had to steal this little pic from the blog.
Word.

this pissed me off so bad. first of all, who cares what color she is! but in the book it does say she has dark skin. people are idiots. and the internet just amplifies it.

That is hilarious.

It is disgusting to hear people's ignorance. What shocks me is that most people don't admit to their racism. So you can only assume that this is just a small percentage of the haters. Wowza.
