So you can be proud of being black, hispanic, or asian, but you can’t be proud to be white? Wtf is wrong with society?

white people are behind the worst genocides in history what your sus ass got to be proud of? the invention of graham crackers?

idk pretty sure we invented toilets or something

bitch we invented the soap to clean your filthy asses dont talk shit

Jessusssssssssss

Actually, white people invented the following;

Geography
Telescope
Microscope
Automobile
Television
Electricity
Aircrafts
Computers
The Piano
Electric Engineering
Telephone
Theory of Evolution
The Wormhole
First one’s in Space
First one’s on the Moon
Banks/Banking
The theory of Natural Selection
Theatre
Pencil
The Jet Engine
The discovery of DNA
The discovery of the Atom
The discovery of Cells
The Camera
US Constitution
Democracy
Republic

And yes, a white person did happen to invent the graham cracker.

If you want to cling to every invention that white people are responsible for throughout history as if it’s some sort of accomplishment of your own, then you should also accept responsibility for all the disgusting things that white people have done, correct? You can’t just claim the things that make you look good and disregard the history that makes you look bad. Take it all or leave it all.

Geography- The oldest known world maps date back to Islam in the 9th Century B.C.

Automobile- automobiles were base on chariots created by the Indo-Iranians.

Electricity- Nobody invented electricity, pendejo estupido. Electricity is a natural phenomena. 

Computers- Computers were based on the abacus, created by the ancient Sumerians.

The Piano- The piano is based on string instruments created in ancient Mesopotamia.

The Wormhole- Einstein discovered this, and given that Einstein was a dedicate member of the NAACP and called racism America’s “worst disease”, I’m sure that he would not appreciate you using his discoveries to promote white supremacy. 

Theatre- The earliest recorded theatrical event dates back to 2000 BCE with the “passion plays” of Ancient Egypt.

The Jet Engine- This is based on rockets invented by the Chinese in the 13th Century

The Discovery of the Atom- Atomism dates back to India during the 6th Century BCE

The Camera- Photographic cameras were a development of the Camera Obscura, a device dating back to the ancient Chinese.

The U.S. Constitution- The earliest known code of law dates back to the ancient Mesopotamians. The American Constitution is based on the Iroquois “Great Code of Peace”. And given that the original U.S. Constitution was used to enslave and murder thousands of people, maybe you shouldn’t be so proud of it.

Democracy- Based on the Sanghas of India during the 6th Century BCE

Republics- See above.

Nice try, white person. Practically everything you guys invented comes from PoC 

Thanks for the history lesson- really- it’s quite informative. What we shouldn’t be doing, though, is breaking each other down. Inventions highlight this in particular because they are collaborative among peoples- PoCs and whites alike. The piano wouldn’t exist as it is today without Mesopotamians or Europeans. It needed both. But whites (I am one) do need to realize that “white oppression” can never have the same sting because we do not have the same history. Privileges of education and legal autonomy are handed down through the generations, interrupted for PoCs by slavery and colonial oppression. Paradoxically, whites should be proud of the accomplishments of their race, but ashamed of slavery and other disgraces. Both are reflective of the white race.

I teach Sunday school, motherf*cker

This is perfect.

Stephen Colbert, Catholic and awesome

Always worth reblogging.

*claps* Where did this guy hear that God said man was a perfect, incorruptible creature anyway?  

Absolutely. What is free will without the ability to remove oneself from God? Furthermore, what do I need to do to get myself in Stephen Colbert’s Sunday School class??

Huxley vs. Orwell

Oh crap.

this this this this this

Even more terrifying - Orwell is lauded as a genius for his work, Huxley is considered a drug addict.

If you’ve never read Brave New World, you need to read it.

Important.

Astronomers Gear Up to Discover Earth-Like Planets

If one looks only for the shiniest pennies in the fountain, chances are one misses most of the coins because they shimmer less brightly. This, in a nutshell, is the conundrum astronomers face when searching for Earth-like planets outside our solar system.

Astronomers at the University of Arizona are part of an international team of exoplanets hunters developing new technology that would dramatically improve the odds of discovering planets with conditions suitable for life – such as having liquid water on the surface.

Terrestrial planets orbiting nearby stars often are concealed by vast clouds of dust enveloping the star and its system of planets. Our solar system, too, has a dust cloud, which consists mostly of debris left behind by clashing asteroids and exhaust spewing out of comets when they pass by the sun.

I am infinitely grateful to live in a time when we might find life on other planets.

These scientists are trying to locate planets circling suns with a brightness like ours. To do so, they’re seeking to cut out the glare from larger stars by pitting their brightness against each other.

Could you guys help me out? Could you reblog if you are a Catholic blogger (you don’t have to post only Catholic posts)? I’m looking to follow more people. Thanks!

Hey there friend :)

The Vatican has clarified that atheists will still go to hell if they reject God, after Pope Francis broke with tradition to deliver a homily stating non-believers who do good will be redeemed through Jesus.

Oh darn, I thought I had a chance! Too bad the Catholic Church struck down what Pope Francis had to say.

Hi there! I don’t think we should listen to the spin the HuffPost puts on things regarding Catholicism. 

Regarding Hell: Hell is a complete and freely chosen rejection of God. Any one, regardless of whether they call themselves an atheist, a Catholic, an agnostic, or anything else, puts themselves in Hell when they consciously choose to separate themselves from God. The Church makes no comment about who specifically is in Hell or will go to Hell. That is not its place. It simply provides the guideline for how to go there. Sorry the HuffPost does terrible “reporting.”

BOOM. Roasted.

Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it’s like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It’s also the best insulator in existence.

This is science fiction stuff! :-)
