On Fat-Hating
lettherebecramp:
mrsmissus:
I’m very confused and hurt.
As a person who identifies (non-pejoratively) as fat, I know that society looks upon me as though I have less value. I know my body type is frequently maligned and sneered at, that fat is presented as either entirely unattractive or attractive only for sexual deviants. I know all this, and while I haven’t exactly made my peace with it,...

thoughts on quirky/eccentric black girls
i would never go out of my way and say i had it the worst. in fact, i personally KNOW i don’t have it the worst. my english grammar and punctuation and enunciation will pretty much conform to the strictest MLA standards are whatever the fuck, when i want it to. and i can turn it on and off, for the most part. i know there are some fucked up politics in blending in and not alarming white...

Reblog if you want anonymous opinions about you.
severina-lx asked: DUDE SERIOUSLY if there ever comes a time in which I find myself in your vicinity and that asshat walks past you, you point that fucker out and I will feverishly give him a piece of my mind before bitch-slapping him duel-style. you don't lash out at total strangers simply because you had a less-than-stellar day. it makes me wanna smash and stomp on wedding cakes and pie. I'm sorry...
I'm sorry, I can't get over this
liquornspice:
If someone tells a white and Native person they “don’t look Indian,” you can be pretty certain a chorus of angry voices will come to their defense, OUTRAGED, writing about how stereotypical images of Indians negatively affect people’s lives and we don’t all look like Pocahontas and etc etc etc…
But someone just told a Black Native woman that violence against her doesn’t count and...

CDC on racial differences in drug use:
“White high school students are seven times more likely than blacks to have used cocaine; eight times more likely to have smoked crack; ten times more likely to have used LSD and seven times more likely to have used heroin. What’s more, white youth ages 12-17 are more likely to sell drugs: 34% more likely, in fact than their black...

“great weave! girl get it.”
if you are not a black woman who wears a weave, or if you are not a black woman, or if you do not know a damn thing about black hair, or if you are a gay white dude who is trying to be “down with the sistas” by appropriating black female & black queer ways of being or language…
then don’t ever say some shit like this to me.
nuh uh. i ain’t for it. today...
No, white people, you don't have any control over...
cruelyouth:
But you DO have control over being oppressive.
This isn’t hard.
Feeling guilty for being white is silly and completely unproductive. But if you feel guilty for being oppressive? Then it’s up to YOU to deal with that guilt. Don’t ask PoC, whom you’ve probably hurt with oppressive actions and words, to do it for you.
And this is what happens when you whine about something I’ve...

A note on the "friend zone"
vagabondaesthetics:
It’s a voluntary position to be in. Either ask the person out or remove yourself from their life. Otherwise, stop whining because you’re volunteering to be in a position of bitterness and emotional torment.
