“After this I go to work at a pizza shop. My wife and I were college professors in Bangladesh. I taught accounting. But one dollar in America becomes eighty dollars when we send it back home.”

People forget, when immigrants come to this country they start from scratch. They could have been lawyers in their home country, but in the US..it means nothing. You think a HS diploma from Bangladesh means anything in this country? My mom was a top student in the country, went to all the best school and got the best of everything…but when she got here it meant squat and she was cleaning other people’s homes and scrubbing their toilets. This is why I get pissed of when people talk smack about immigrants. They at least are doing something…..heading for a goal..making sacrifices…what are you doing with your life?

^ My parents were college-educated teachers in their home country and came to the U.S. with nothing but empty pockets, a dash of hope, and a belief in God. They also scrubbed toilets in people’s homes to make enough to provide for their children, and that’s probably not something a lot of educated professionals would be able to do. I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. Pride would get in the way.

THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT.

Proud child of immigrants .

Did you know that there were Human Zoos on display in Europe and America from the 1870’s to the 1950’s? These public exhibits of humans,often called Negro Villages, usually showed indigenous people in a so-called natural or primitive state. The displays often emphasized the cultural differences between Europeans of Western civilization and non-European peoples.

Above is a photo from Amsterdam Holland around 1890, of an African child in one of these Human Zoo exhibits,being fed like an animal by white spectators.

What in all the fucks?!

Reasons why that pet my hair shit and all that isn’t cute. I didn’t know these places existed until the 50s tho, jeez. Fucking sick. And that baby is just a beautiful child that’s so terrible

Why you can’t pet my hair

Why you aren’t bringing me in to shit

Why the rhetoric of curating and introducing grown as people is iffy as FUCK

Please note 1950 as a date of continuance. They were doing this while my mom was ALIVE. And while civil rights was started.

1. Augustus Gloop is gluttony.

He’s either eating or thinking about eating. And his name rhymes with poop.

2. Veruca Salt is greed.

She’s a spoiled brat who always wants more.

3. Violet Beauregarde is pride.

She’s always boasting.

4. Mike Teavee is sloth.

He sits and watches TV all the time. His name is also Teavee aka TV

5. Grandpa Joe is envy.

He wants what Wonka has (the factory) and Charlie has (the ticket).

6. Charlie is lust.

Not the kind you normally think of, but the intense desire.

7. … and Wonka is wrath.

He punishes everyone for their flaws.

my life is over now

My mind is blown

And there goes my sanity

fuck, shit just got real.

Oh
