I know y'all did not read the books but Roald Dahl talks about this in the book. Charlie’s teacher points out the fact that unless you buy a shit ton of bars you’re probably not gonna win. Just like the lottery. Just like how all of the other winners of the tickets bought a shit ton of bars. Except Charlie, who just got lucky. And Charlie was originally black. Literally the whole point of the book was that wonka wanted to give the less fortunate a fair opportunity and it wasn’t fair because the system isn’t fair.
Stop the car.
Charlie was originally black?!?!
!?!!
He was and Mr. Dahl was forced to make him white. Also his widow has spoken and confirmed that as well.
because you shouldn’t believe everything you read on a tumblr post at face value, here is a guardian article confirming that charlie was originally conceived as black but dahl made him white at the behest of his publisher
Thinkin’ about how cops steal more through asset forfeiture than burglars do from Americans
wait till ya see the murder rate
Cops take more stuff and kill more people than every other criminal combined. (Well, domestically; not counting war criminals.)
When people defend the existence of a police force it’s usually with the exact words “they keep us safe from criminals”, but that just doesn’t add up since we would literally be safer without cops on the street. Let’s be more honest: Cops keep rich people safe at the expense of poor people’s safety.
