So many comments about this woman’s face? And not that this poor 16-year-old kid lost the parental lottery three times - mom, dad, and step-dad? He was just a kid who didn’t know any better and obviously had parents who were complete losers. I’m sorry this boy never had a chance.

Ibeyi! I love their music and I love the references to Afro-Caribbean religious traditions in both the music and their lyrics. I first learned of them through a Tumblr friend about a year or so ago when she posted a couple of their songs and videos, and it sparked a great conversation about the practice of West…
THIS! I say do and date who or what you like. Even reject whole swaths of people because of race or whatever. But please don’t lose your shit if someone points out to you how your preferences were potentially shaped by a particular social and cultural context.
I don’t think most people want to face up to the fact of how much their ideas of beauty and what’s appealing is influenced by society’s ideals and what they’ve been exposed to. They’d rather throw up their hands and claim what they like is inherent, rather than examine their biases and broaden their horizons. While…
Pretty much. I think the people that champion this sort of stuff are not really interested in body image as a whole, just showing off theirs. And in this world of abundant oversharing, yes, I would also not like to have a public space turned into a “titty bar”. I don’t need to see that much of the average person.
White women that blame minorities for not getting into college or getting scholarships are the worst. As a white woman you benefit from affirmative action the most.
So Ms Sandra Bland, graduate who has just been hired for a good job, member of a black sorority, church goer, no criminal record, active in #BlackLivesMatter, is going to commit suicide after being locked up over a traffic violation? Does anyone believe that a black woman with an activist background is going to…
She was probably vocal in letting them know she was aware of her rights and wasn’t going to be silent or passive in her mistreatment. That sounds about reason enough for these racist pigs to kill her.
It’s cool how she gets to take ownership of black boy’s tragic story and his family is powerless to stop her. Any controversy will be good for business. Everyone with privilege wins.
Little did she know that she’s showing the ultimate of white privilege by making an exhibit out of a dead black person. #StopWhitePeople2015
My Dad (and Mom) circa 1975, taken in their home in Queens, NY. They died in an accident when I was 3 just one year later. He was 26.
Please sit the fuck down with your ahistoric notion of why do we have the race relationship we have today. Go read a little bit about how the concept of race as a social construct was created, who invited it, why, and how before talking to me. I have no time, patience for white colonialist who are trying to act like…
White women are responsible of white supremacy, they participate in white supremacy, they benefit from it. They are the one picking fights with black girls and calling cops to protect their white fragility. So spare me this Bs.
There is also literally no proof of mental illness. At all. None. Not even kind of.
Lol @ leaving out white women like they’re not equally responsible.
Today, I’m reminded of some other little girls: Addie, Denise, Carole, and Cynthia. Their deaths over 50 years ago (also in a church) still scar our country. Like Solange, I’m tired. I’m angry. But mostly, I feel a sad sense of dèjá vu.
This was a carefully planned out act of terror. He knew that black people are welcoming and accepting. He knew that he could easily go in and worship with black people without being challenged. That’s white privilege for you. I sure as hell couldn’t go into many southern white churches and be accepted.
