There are lots of black baseball players. They are just African Caribbean instead of African American.

Thank you. We hit a dead end pretty quickly in our search because of the whole property-not-human thing. Also, my last name is very European. Some white people find that amusing and flippantly ask “well how did that happen??!” They shut up real fast when I say “it was the master’s surname.”
Would wear...wedding or not.
I come from a ranching family in Mexico (though I was born here), so we don’t really see animals in the same way that the dominant group in the US sees them. My dad used to go in the back of the ranch to shoot dogs that were no longer useful. He used to do the same to feral cats because they would kill the chickens…
My mom had me and my two sisters close together (18 months and 20 months) apart because she wanted us to be close in age. If we were close in age to each other, we could wear each other’s clothes, go to the same schools at the same time, she wouldn’t have to put baby stuff in storage and being close in age usually…
Dumb storytelling- the fact that his ancestors owned slaves makes his mother marching for civil rights MORE compelling, not less, and would create a narrative about not being so defined by a racist past that you refuse to change for the better.
“He’s a megastar. What do we do?”
It’s really the reaction that makes the burn. I have a tendency toward sarcasm in my classroom, and usually just the kid it’s aimed at gets it (and stops being an idiot). But every once in a while, the sarcasm is elevated to “burn” mostly by the reaction of the entire surrounding room. Then I feel a little bad.
That’s interesting since you have Black people and white people and Indigenous ppl who are Mexican. I mean, you act like anti-blackness isn’t something that Mexicans and Mexican Americans don’t engage in or that all Mexican and Mexican Americans are all the same and therefore don’t have any divisions.
There are no words to describe how awesome this movie is. It was also one of the few times I saw a black middle class family that looked like mine on screen. I had just started middle school when it came out and my older cousin let me watch it on her brand new DVD player. Monica was my hero, especially since I was…
WHY didn’t you vote for MANKILLER!!! She’s native (replacing the native-killingest president ever) and her last name is MAN. KILLER. I expect more.
Seems like pretty damn important information to me. I would want to know if my future spouse had sex with one of my parents. I just don't see the marriage happening.
I feel like I probably relate more to Mary J Blige in the background. She looks as concerned as I feel....
DRAKE’S REACTION IS SO FUCKING PRICELESS OH MY GOD
Long-time lurker, first-time commenter over here. This article really resonated with me. Like, FORREAL. As a woman of color who is currently in the process of entering a teaching credential program, I have found that “white savior” bullshit runs rampant in education schools. I’m currently enrolled in a mandatory…
Literally any white woman that's who.
I think he's worse than ever but he doesn't care b/c he's gotten his 40 Acres and a white woman.
Nevermind Jimmy Bond, how about MOAR EPISODES OF LUTHER!!!
well now I know to keep my amazing relationships under wraps
