NEW YORK ISN’T NEW YOOOORK....oh man, this song has been stuck in my head for 3 days now. I always have a steady inner jukebox of 3-4 songs. I woke up and immediately I start singing this one. I have dogs, so I often leave the tv on the indie music channel. This song comes on often, so that’s where I picked it up…

No you’re missing the point. That, or you simply don’t know what assimilation is and why it’s different than appropriation. Black women wear weaves because we are constantly being shown and told our natural hair is ugly, unkempt, and unacceptable. Blonde/straight hair is a symbol of beauty, the norm, something to…
This is why I don’t bother trying to explain, appeal to emotion, educate, cajole, whatever. Y’all are determined not to understand or care, and really believe everything, especially stuff created by and relevant to Black cultures, is yours for the taking.
She herself uses the word stealing. She’s defining her own actions and then trying to justify them by, basically, “I think I should be able to do this because I say so.”
Actually, there was a recent ruling that people can legally be denied employment if they were locs. This is relevant because locs have gotten a reputation for being dirty and messy and associated with drug use. This happened not because Black people neatly loc our clean, well-cared-for hair. This happened because…
No, not exactly as such. Erasure of cultural context and history is its concern. It’s “stealing” in the way that traditional plagiarism, or re-posting/re-uploading without attribution is. So it’s a complicated issue for some.
I have a feeling if you asked Delgado which she’d prefer - $5 given to her directly, or guaranteed economic security for for all children of single mothers...she’d snatch the $5 out of your hand and run away as fast as she could in her seven inch spike heels.
So, Amber was Heard.
Terry Gross, House of NPR, Mother of Draggin’s.
“hours, not theirs” hahahahahah
I grew up (and still live) in Portland and people act surprised that I like Nirvana, it’s fucking ridiculous.
I have like three racist bones in my body. I’m always complaining about them, but the rest of the bones won’t do anything about it. Two of them are real assholes and one of them is passive aggressive as shit. I don’t know, every time I think about yanking them out the other bones get all protective. Deep down, I…
And if it’s not medical it’s still his problem.
If it’s medical, it’s 100% his responsibility to take care of. I’m not my husband’s mom and I don’t make doctor appointments for him.
“At least I try my best to treat every person, employee or client, decently whether white hispanic black asian or other.”
“Some of my best friends are whatever you are.”
It’s more watchable than Temple of Doom, which has sections I actively hate, but also more forgettable. Both are vastly inferior to Raiders and Last Crusade.
Issues aside, 9/11 gave a lot of hard working Americans a much needed vacation.
But aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
