More than Tumblr...
On May 6, this tumblr officially lasted one year. And yet, I wasn’t able to celebrate the birthday of the blog because of problems with business. However, it seems that I weathered that storm (for now).
I wanted to announce and do some special things for the one-year anniversary (or birthday? Not sure what to call it). But I decided to wait until my ACTUAL birthday to do that. (June 1)
But...

queensherese:
More than ever I am beginning to rear my angry head at these so called black elites. Spewing the same white racist bull shit, that the now grandchildren of racist, aka generation colorblind x uses for their ” solution ” to the black plight. I am sick of the nose turned up, why aren’t you doing anything for the black population , this activism ain’t like the civil rights era,...

thatblackgirlwiththefro:
I’m really not understanding dating people based off race. I’m all for genuine love, in whatever form it takes, heterosexual, homosexual, interracial, whatever but people who feel they’ve made some type of accomplishment because they date solely interracial…I just don’t get it.
You say “fuck racism” but declare yourself #teamwhiteboy. How white girls are just your...

Adria Richards' Silence Speaks Volumes
It’s been 6+ weeks since Adria said anything to anybody. And I’m pretty wreak about it.
If you don’t know who Adria Richards is and why her not speaking to anyone is a problem, well, allow me to recap.
On March 22, I wrote this blog post about Adria Richards. If you have no time to read it, here’s a rundown: Adria basically heard a private joke at a tech conference, made...

“It’s like you’re not even black!”
– said by white people who think they’re being accommodating, benevolent, and complimentary towards a black person. but are really being oppressive and also outing themselves as someone who adheres to essentialist notions about race and can only respect a person’s humanity if they align themselves...

Anonymous asked: I'm not even white. I'm Oriental. We also hae been fucked over by whites. The truth is though, white imperialism fucked everybody over, but they essentially did the very same to themselves. Do you know why the north was okay with abolishing slavery at the time? Because they had an influx of Irish, Italians, Germans, and Slavs coming in at the same time. They didn't need blacks....

nukirk:
I’m always questioning my intentions, how much is too much, when to smile, when to smirk, when to give a fuck, when not to give a fuck… I mean, that’s what Black is… wondering if crossing the street will get you arrested by the cops.
I mean, so far, we got put in jail, suspended lose scholarships and got lives altered because we wore the wrong clothes, said the wrong thing, be at the...

Anonymous asked: Have you ever thought that you, yourself, are racist? If you want white people to be more accepting and then instantly call out white guilt/"oh do you want a cookie for being a decent human?" when they try being more accepting, doesn't it seem like really counterproductive? Are some whites assholes? Fuck yes they are, but so are some Hispanics, and some Asians, and some blacks,...

musingsofanawkwardblackgirl:
We can’t do shit can we? Anything we do is a fucking joke to you! My fucking race is one big laugh shop for you fucking Aryans. You ALWAYS have to dehumanize us, and ridicule us. If I am a strong black woman who won’t allow someone to treat me bad, I BECOME A JOKE. If I am an urban man who risk his life to help someone else, I BECOME A FUCKING JOKE. What the fuck is...
I hate it when people say "Tumblr Logic"
It’s dismissive and doesn’t address the issue. Also, it’s assuming that I talk to people just inside Tumblr… I mean, my micro-blog is a “blog” regardless of how you view my posts.

Jesus is not going to work it all out.
jamilahlemieux:
There, I said it. Hate me now, but I won’t stop now.
I understand that that the above sentiment is particularly controversial from a non-Christian. However, do understand that I am NOT challenging anyone’s religion. Despite my own views, I acknowledge that religion has done many powerful and transformative things across the globe and has sustained movements, people and storied...

Anonymous asked: So, since reading this blog I have become really interested and really confused. I live in the whitest of white America, and I am white myself. After reading through some of this blog there is some things I slightly disagree with, but a lot of realization has really washed over me. I don't feel guilty, or annoyed by being the sole target of the blog, or even angry. It's just a sense of...

are you a student at a predominantly white institution [PWI] within driving distance of new hampshire?
are you invested in shedding light on and bringing change to your campus with regard to cultures of racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, ableism, and other systems of marginalization that greatly affect students’ ability to engage with the university?

theraceproblem:
No one is saying that Charles Ramsey isn’t worthy of the “hero” mantle. He helped save three women who were held captive — brutally — in his Cleveland neighborhood for over a decade. But the Internet’s instant meme-ification of this man — a lower-income black man talking about a horrible crime, played on repeat at the expense of stereotypes and with the blinders fully up about...
