Consideration is fire.

I was with you up until the point where you said Eminem was the greatest rapper alive. Yikes.

Scared of what exactly? From where I’m sitting, minorities have more reason to be afraid of these lunatics then they have to be afraid of us. They just don’t want to be treated the way they’ve been treating everyone else. Assholes.

Hear, hear! I’ll add to that the fact that sitting through a slave movie as a Black person is an emotionally draining experience (at least this is true for me). I end up feeling physically ill. I cry, get a knot in my stomach the entire time and feel like I may throw up. By the end I feel thoroughly depressed. This is…

I’d bet good money those conversations do happen.

It would be nice if there were more books about Black girls just going about daily life where race is not a major plot point. How about a protagonist where her biggest life issues are going to prom and fighting with her siblings? I would have loved to have read a book like Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret with a…

DING DING DING. This. I feel her. I was a voracious reader as a child and I did not enjoy reading about dogs or boys. I preferred reading books with protagonists I could really relate to and see myself as. Don’t get me started on how hard it was to find books as a young black girl(in elementary school!!!) where the…

That girl is smart, adorable and wonderful. She’s my hero.

Who is that dude flipping Kanye off from behind? Is that a new friendly thing the youths are doing?

This is great. :D

This is amaaaaaaaaaaaazing.

GOOD!

Fuckin’ weird.

It’s impossible to say for sure but I think it’s a viable theory.

We’re talking about slavery times. Marriage was not a legal thing. I think that it is nice to imagine that some genuine romantic relationships between blacks and whites could have happened in those terrible, horrific times (I’m not being sarcastic I’m sure there were some) but for the most part I don’t think that was…

That’s fair.

I know. That’s why I was curious. It’s something a ton of people say and the claim is not always based in fact. I was just theorizing on why that might be the case.

I wasn’t implying that this is the case for every mixed family across the globe. I’m theorizing based on the fact that my family is from the south, our ancestors were slaves, and despite the fact that we are all different skin tones white ancestry is not something that is verbally mentioned or acknowledged. If you…

Yeah. I’m fairly dark but my entire family includes skin tones from all over the spectrum of “Black”. The explanation has always been that we had Native American in our blood. I was curious so I took a test. West African, South African, Russian, and Scandanavian (Swedish, I think) were all pinged. I figure somewhere…

I dig the new hair, but don't worry, I'm thoroughly disappointed in myself over it.
