I basically post what I like. Whether it consists of the wide variety of music I like, Anime, something involving my ideal kind of women, or whatever happens to be on my mind.
From time to time I also tend to reblog stories that involve social injustices that happen to people of color (POC) and things I considered to be racist. When I do this, I am in no way, shape or form anti-White. I reblog stories of injustices against White people as well, however it seems that the injustices/racism against POC are the ones that people seem to notice me reblog the most.
None of these pictures are my own unless I say so otherwise.
I am a Gryffindor and a Nerdfighter!!!

Anonymous asked: Of course the history isn't totally sunshine and rainbows, the point is that it's still much better off than many other peoples' histories. Not just the oppressed people in America, but basically any people in a country in the Economic south. Because some people have a bad idea of your culture doesn't mean that you're country is more vulnerable to neoliberalism or people are being killed over it. That's the difference.

You might not believe this, but those stereotypes about Native americans being savages are only present in America, please realize that you should...

The killing of Iranian scientist Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan is the latest in a series of mysterious incidents involving Iran’s nuclear industry and the people working in it.
Iran says its nuclear program is purely for civilian use, but Western powers believe it has military goals.
It is widely assumed that Israel and possibly the US have been actively sabotaging Iran’s nuclear program.
Here are some details of the incidents:February 2007
- Iran said deputy defence minister Ali Reza Asgari, who disappeared in Turkey in 2007, had been kidnapped by Western intelligence services. Israel and the United States denied any involvement in the disappearance.
- At the time, Turkish newspapers reported that Asgari had information on Iran’s nuclear program. Turkish, Arabic and Israeli media suggested Mr Asgari defected to the West, but his family dismissed that.
June 2009
- Shahram Amiri said he was kidnapped in June 2009 when on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia and transferred to the United States. He said he was offered $US50 million to remain in America and “to spread lies” about Iran’s nuclear work. Three months after he disappeared, Iran disclosed the existence of a second uranium enrichment site, near the city of Qom.
- Before his disappearance, Dr Amiri worked at Iran’s Malek Ashtar University, an institution closely connected to the country’s Revolutionary Guards. Tehran initially refused to acknowledge Mr Amiri’s involvement in Iran’s nuclear program.
- Dr Amiri returned to Tehran in July 2010. Washington denied kidnapping him and insisted he had lived freely in the United States.
January 2010
- Nuclear scientist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi was killed by a remote-controlled bomb in Tehran on January 12. Some opposition websites said he had backed moderate candidate Mirhossein Mousavi in the disputed 2009 election that secured president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s return to power.
- Iranian officials described the physics professor as a nuclear scientist but a spokesman said he did not work for the Atomic Energy Organisation. He lectured at Tehran University.
- Western sources said the professor worked closely with Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi and Fereydoun Abbassi-Davani, both subject to UN sanctions because of their work on suspected nuclear weapons development.
June 2010
- Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power station was hit by the Stuxnet computer virus in what Tehran said was a cyber-attack by Israel and the United States. In November, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that malicious software had created problems in some of Iran’s uranium enrichment centrifuges, although he said the problems had been solved.
- The New York Times said in January 2011 that the worm was the most sophisticated cyber-weapon ever deployed and appeared to have been the biggest factor in setting back Iran’s nuclear progress. Its sources said it caused the centrifuges to spin wildly out of control and that a fifth of them were wiped out.
November 2010
- Two car bomb blasts killed an Iranian nuclear scientist and wounded another in Tehran on November 29, in what Iranian officials called an Israeli or US-sponsored attack on its atomic program.
- Majid Shahriyari was killed and his wife was injured. Iran’s atomic energy agency chief Ali Akbar Salehi said Dr Shahriyari had a role in one of its biggest nuclear projects, but did not elaborate, the official news agency IRNA reported. He was a lecturer at Shahid Beheshti University.
- In the other blast, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and his wife were both wounded. Dr Abbasi-Davani, head of physics at Imam Hossein University, has been personally subject to UN sanctions because of what Western officials said was his involvement in suspected nuclear weapons research.
- In February 2011, president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appointed Dr Abbasi-Davani as vice-president and head of the Atomic Energy Organisation, Fars news agency reported.
July 2011
- Physicist Darioush Rezai was shot dead by gunmen in eastern Tehran on July 23. The university lecturer had a PhD in physics. Deputy interior minister Safarali Baratlou said he was not linked to Iran’s nuclear program after early reports in some media said he was.
November 2011
- The sound of an apparent explosion was heard from Iran’s Isfahan city on November 28, the head of the judiciary in the province said, but the province’s deputy governor denied there had been a big blast. An important Iranian nuclear facility involved in processing uranium is near Isfahan.
- The report came less than three weeks after a massive explosion at a military base near Tehran killed more than a dozen members of the Revolutionary Guard including the head of its missile forces. Iran said that explosion was caused by an accident while weapons were being moved.
January 2012- Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, a 32-year-old graduate of chemical engineering, was killed by a bomb placed on his car by a motorcyclist in Tehran. Another passenger died in hospital and a pedestrian was also injured.
- Iran said the victim was a nuclear scientist who supervised a department at Natanz Uranium Enrichment Facility. Iran blamed Israel and the United States for the attack.

AN Iranian nuclear scientist has been killed and two people injured when a magnetic bomb attached to a car by a duo on a motorbike exploded outside a Tehran university, Iranian news agencies said.
An Iranian official said Israel was behind the attack, pointing to similarities with previous killings of other nuclear scientists.
The person killed was identified by several media as Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a scientist who worked on separating gases at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, according to the website of a different university from which he graduated around a decade ago.
“This morning a motorbiker attached a bomb to a Peugeot 405, which exploded,” the governor of Tehran province, Safar Ali Bratloo, was quoted as saying by the ILNA news agency on Wednesday.
“The responsibility of this explosion falls on the Zionist regime,” Bratloo told Iran’s Arabic-language Al-Alam broadcaster.
“The method of this terrorist action is similar to previous actions that targeted Iran’s nuclear scientists,” he said.
The explosion occurred outside the east Tehran campus of Allameh Tabatai University, at its social sciences faculty.
Ahmadi Roshan was killed and the two wounded passengers were taken to hospital, Bratloo said.
Sharif University, Tehran’s elite technical university where the slain scientist had studied, said Ahmadi Roshan was specialised in making polymeric membranes used to separate gas. Iran uses gas separation to enrich uranium.
Three other Iranian scientists were killed in 2010 and 2011 when their cars blew up in similar circumstances. At least two of the scientists had also been working on nuclear activities.
One of the attacks occurred exactly two years ago, on January 11, 2010, killing scientist Masoud Ali Mohammdi.
The current head of Iran’s atomic organisation, Fereydoun Abbasi, escaped another such attempt in November 2010, getting out of his car with his wife just before the attached bomb exploded.
Those attacks were viewed by Iranian officials as assassination operations carried out by Israel’s Mossad intelligence service, possibly with help from US counterparts.
The latest blast comes amid extremely high international tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, which the West and Israel believe conceals research to develop an atomic bomb.
Israel has threatened to launch air strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The United States has said “all options are on the table” in terms of dealing with Iran - including military action.
Tehran, which has repeatedly denied that its nuclear program is for anything other than peaceful purposes, has threatened to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Gulf if it is attacked. Twenty per cent of the world’s oil flows through that strait.
Wednesday’s car explosion followed confirmation on Monday by the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran had started uranium enrichment at a fortified underground bunker southwest of Tehran, in Fordo.
The United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy have viewed that development with alarm, saying it was a violation of UN Security Council resolutions on Iran.http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/iran-nuclear-scientist-killed-in-car-bomb/story-e6frf7jx-1226242058897
