things gentiles on my dash haven’t posted about at all: multiple pogroms, synagogues being firebombed, jewish children being attacked and/or killed in the streets in their countries….I can go on and on and on

things these people are now posting about: ‘don’t complain about representation in harry potter being stated after and not actually in the books’

Faye Lazebnik Schulman: Pictures of Resistance

“A partisan came in and said, ‘What do you think?’ And I said to myself, ‘My family was murdered. I am in the partisans. I’m alone. I won’t be living here anymore. The Nazis occupied my father’s house that he built himself.’ And I said to the partisan, ‘Burn it!”

photographs:

1. Burial of partisans in forests near Pinsk, 1944. Formal burials of partisans were rare. Faye took this photograph to show the first time her detachment’s casualties were buried in caskets…. “These are two Jews and two gentiles, all four buried in one grave together…. They fought together against the same enemy, so they are buried together.”

2. Shish Detachment Field Operating Table, forests around Pinsk, 1943

3. Partisans in the Forest, forest near Lenin, 1943

4. Faye with Old Friends, forest near Lenin, Winter, 1944 “These boys escaped the Nazi-occupied half of Poland and came to Lenin in 1939, when we first met…. I was happy to meet three Jewish boys together. In my brigade, I couldn’t even say I was Jewish…. So, when I saw boys I knew, I was very happy not to hide anything.”

5. Partisans standing in front of the ashes of the former Lazebnik family home, Lenin, Poland (now Belarus), mid 1943. The graves of German soldiers are in the foreground.

6. Faye practicing her aim, end of winter 1943, Pinsk. “This photo is really part of my history as a partisan. This is my ‘new’ automatic rifle…. I really had to practice how to shoot this one.”

7. Faye Schulman and Soviet partisans in the forest.

8. Faye Schulman and fellow armed partisans.

9. August 14, 1942 – The massacred Jewish community of Lenin, Poland. Including Faye’s parents and siblings.

10. Faye with her detachment. Forests near Lenin, Fall, 1942. Faye is lying down in the front row, second to last.

as some of you may know, nicki minaj recently released a lyric video for her single “only” featuring drake, lil wayne, and chris brown (which can be found here). upon watching this video, it becomes disturbingly obvious that the imagery is uncannily reminiscent of the nazi regime, especially during the holocaust. on the left are the images from nicki’s video, and on the right are actual images from/relating to the nazism during the holocaust.

although there has been some buzz about this video, it is not nearly enough. i have seen various people making excuses, saying that she was only trying to portray a dictatorship — understandable, but the imagery used was certainly not appropriate or necessary. there is a way to portray power and dictatorship without using the holocaust. it is extremely problematic and offensive, no matter which way you look at it. a young money symbol that is blatantly supposed to look like a swastika? uniforms that resemble those of the SS (nazi police)? these images are completely disgusting and certainly not appropriate for nicki (or drake, lil wayne, and chris brown) to use.

in no way, shape, or form am i hating on nicki; i’ve been a fan of hers for awhile, but that doesn’t mean her problematic behavior should be excused. don’t let this go without an apology. nicki needs to be aware of the fact that this video is wrong and has already offended a large amount of people. tweet her, comment on the video, let her know that she made a mistake. there is no need to bash her, but there is a need to be a critical fan.

You cannot say that you like Pocahontas. The genocide of my people is turned into a cartoon musical with a singing raccoon? I mean, think about it, dawg, the real story of Pocahontas is about a bunch of white boys who come to my land, bribe the corrupt indian chief, kill off all the warriors and fuck the indian princess silly.

does this have a source?

It’s from an HBO miniseries about the Iraq War called Generation Kill

the night porter, the black parade, the boy in the striped pajamas is the same premise but not romance…so yes they absolutely would.

using other people…using the genocide of other people, as a retorical device is kind of a shitty thing to do anyway. But also the whole ‘you wouldn’t do this to [other opressed group]’ tends to weaken your position cause well…you’re usually wrong and they would and you’re giving them too much credit to think they wouldn’t. Which is a shame when your basic position is good like here.

mind you…on this particular issue saying this while you’re invading someone elses country also weakens your position.

(while we’re at it we can stop pretending that the shoah wasn’t racialised violence just like all previous genocides and persecutions of jewish people and the ones that continue today. Wherever you stand on whether (light skinned) jews are white today -and if you aren’t jewish you can stay the fuck out of that one- there were no white jews in the third reich)
