Mamie Till is an American Hero.

Jesus christ. That makes this look almost like an understandable mixup.

Also ridiculous is calling your children prince/princess. Unless they’re actual royalty, just stop. It’s weird and the children always have an overinflated sense of importance.

I absolutely hate this concept of partners calling each other ‘king’ and ‘queen’ because it only continues the long list of patriarchal bullshit that women should always support their men no matter what while the man gets to make all of the decisions. This is clearly oversharing, this is clearly a violation of her…

“The key is that I’m the king and every queen should support the king.”= Automatic grounds for divorce.

Haunting documentary, I have a copy and watch it every so often to remind myself of where we came from and what real strength looks like. Brave souls including Emmett’s mother stood their ground to let the world know what happened.

I have a really serious drinking problem and I pretty much have to stop on my own at home while helping taking care of two disabled people. I have no transportation to meetings or health insurance or any support system. I feel pretty hopeless.

That’s pretty badass. You should be proud. I’m sorry you were treated that way.

So yesterday , when I was shopping with a friend, I got followed in an Ulta store. (i’m Black)

So sorry for your loss. I don’t know what to say other than continue to love and be kind to each other. The pain doesn’t go away, but it will get better.

I really like the show! Her comedic timing is perfect. Also, this moment was just delightful...

Is anyone else watching Issa Rae’s show INSECURE? I was humming the “Broken Pussy” song to myself at work the other day, and then realized what I was doing and had to stop. Can’t wait for the next episode!

I teach my students what happened to Emmett Till, and every single year they ask me how this was possible.
