Don’t apologize. Your anger is valid. Just remember this quote from Zora Neale Hurston: “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.”

For what’s it worth, I didn’t think you comment was overly intense just raw and honest.

Uh, she stole scholarships meant for black people; faked hate crimes; taught a race studies class where she’d bring in her fake black dad; was racist herself towards hispanic women and according to some students, black women as well; lied about being whipped like a “slave”.

Wow. There really is a gif for everything, eh?

this black,dark brown-skinned natural-haired woman wouldn’t want to be white for all the money in the world. you keep on believing that black women are jealous of white women if that’s what helps you in life.

Dunno if that’s the greatest quote, but it’s a great quote and the greatest profile image reveal I’ve ever seen...

Go out in the world and fuck it up beautifully.

Such sage advice.

The amazing concept I’ve heard about is where you’re supposed to warn students if you’re gonna talk about something that challenges their values? I thought that’s why you went to college. My whole life has been a trigger warning, but you have been warned. So the trigger warning is in effect, and now back to the…

My mom did that shit to me when I was a kid, on top of all sorts of other things. I’d come home to military school catalogs on the kitchen table. My heart breaks for this girl.

My grandmother (otherwise wonderful woman who was a like a second mother to me) kept my mother’s hair very short most of her life, because it was less work to style. My mother didn’t like it, and even as an adult felt sad about having it cut when she didn’t want it done. These things are very meaningful to children,…

I think you know perfectly well that’s not what i’m saying. Criticize in private and praise in public. I guess that could also be twisted around. Have fun!

That is some disturbing shit.

An ex-coworker cut off her daughters long ponytail once for something ridiculous. It made me sick when she told me.

In today’s world publicly shaming your own child will almost always lead to bullying.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

Oh my god. For anyone that thinks that hair cutting is not cruel, my mom force cut my hair when I was 10 and it wasn’t until I was in my 30s and had therapy that I could handle having it cut again.
