You know what I hate??
fancyingmindlessbehavior:
I hate how on twitter there’s tweets like white parent:……… black parent:……. and the black parent always has to be ghetto and loud. Not all black people act like that. In fact most of them don’t. I hate how people always assume that black people act all ghetto.
^^^^^^^^^^THISSSSSSSSSS
I am a frequent twitter user and I am ALWAYS beefing about those ridiculous trending...

Much love to those who have clicked the LIKE button in support of Young People of Color! We have just over a month left in our fundraising campaign and have raised $150 of our $4000 goal. Will we make it to $4000? Most likely not, but thats okay. $150 is more than we had starting out and I’m sure we will have more than that come March 18th! If you haven’t donated to this...

obentomusubi:
sometimes I feel like supposed “radicals” are so busy looking for moments to police people who present themselves conservatively
“you’re not actually a radical”
“oh, you’re a queer person of color? well, I’m a disabled fat transabled transracial trans genderqueer woman, how’s that for oppression?”
“you’re only physically attracted to men? how cissexist and binarist!”
oh...

Beginning at noon on Monday, the progressive community will focus for 24 solid hours on the Keystone battle. We’ll try to generate half a million emails to the Senate — the most concentrated burst of environmental advocacy this millennium. We’ll know if it works if the Democrats who control the chamber do one simple thing: back their president.
Barack Obama did the brave thing. He stood...

Somalia Famine →
android-ink:
Last year, a punishing drought killed livestock and turned once-fertile farms into fields of dust. Malnutrition and death rates soared, and hundreds of thousands of impoverished Somalis embarked on desperate treks across the desert, seeking help. Some starving mothers arrived at refugee camps in Kenya with dead children strapped to their backs. The few working hospitals in...

I am reading Assata Shakur’s autobiography and there is a scene where she describes how she went into the white section of a movie theatre when she was in the 5th grade or so. She went in because she wanted to buy a picture of Elvis and they were not selling it in the Black/colored section of the cinema; as soon as she walked in, she describes that it looked like a dream because it...

bendoverbarbie:
It literally makes no sense to me. If we do a comparison of the lyrics of the songs they each sang tonight “Mean” and “Rolling in the Deep”, there is a HUGE discrepancy in talent and song writing ability. LET ALONE singing ability. Someone needs to either tell Taylor Swift to step her game up and stop acting/writing like she’s still in high...

Refocusing my energy on the positive. You must be aware of the negative, the facts, the hard truths, but they can’t rule your psyche. You use them to improve the things you have a problem with. And you do it with a smile because you’re doing something beautiful. No complaining. No cursing. No…
Black Issues. White Privilege.
Random Blurb. Some parts are excerpts of a recent argument with a close friend, some are other arguments I’ve heard in relation to the same topics. Some are me in “the fuck you mean?!” mode. Blergh -_-
I don’t know man. I just don’t know. There’s White people I bang with. There’s Black people I bang with and there are those who think I’m “too...
China defends Syria veto in People's Daily article →
of-praxis:
China’s top Communist party newspaper has defended Beijing’s rejection of a UN resolution calling for Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad to resign. The People’s Daily said western campaigns in Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq showed the error of forced regime change.
The commentary is China’s clearest defence of its decision to join Russia on Saturday in vetoing a draft United...
