:] A Self-Demonstrating blog

xjeremyjohnsonx:
Antiblackness is a real problem in the black community, but of course, these things dont just happen to black people. There’s also a lot of prejudice, discrimination, appropriation, and cultural theft that happens to other people too! Even white people can have their features and their dominent culture mocked, demonized, vilified,...

*phone rings*
Me: Hello.
Dad: Matt...
Me: I saw you called me a few times yesterday. Is everything alright?
Dad: I have something very important to tell you.
Me: Okay. What is it?
Dad: Please... take a shower.
Me: Huh?
Dad: And wash behind your ears. You were smelling funny yesterday.
Me: But Dad... I said "sorry, I was running around Central Park yesterday."
Dad: You forget to take a bath.
Me: Dad, how am I suppose to take a bath yesterday before you pick me up? Do you know what I'm doing now? Taking a shower!
Dad: Did you took a bath before you go to bed?
Me: Yes, I - wait, why are you talking to me like a child?
Dad: Because you stink like hell yesterday.
Me: I TOLD YOU I WAS RUNNING YESTERDAY!

Public Shaming: #WhenISeeAObamaBumperSticker: A... →
publicshaming:
For most of Monday, the following hashtag was trending in the United States:
#WhenISeeAObamaBumperSticker. Interesting…
@JDun1989, the guy who started the hashtag, probably should’ve paid more attention in class as the grammatically correct way of putting it is “When I See AN Obama bumper sticker.”
Anyway, the point of the trending topic was to yuck it up with tweets like...

ismileanyway:
That’s not even a full life to me….and African Americans went from fighting being called ignorant, lazy niggers to being ok with being called ignorant and lazy niggers as long as they had enough money in their pocket to follow whatever trend was on tv…..
Amazing and disgusting at the same time…

luvyourselfsomeesteem:
Isn’t it funny (when I say funny I mean ironic) that the places in New York becoming so gentrified mostly by white folks actually became so cultured and predominately black in the first place because white people didn’t want blacks coming to the North with their new money coming from participating in war to invade their “precious” neighborhoods. So being practically...

hueywasright:
“they’re just ignorant”
“they don’t know any better”
“they know not what they do”
I wonder if by many of us (people of colour) saying this, we are admitting that we are morally superior to White People.
It’s like we obviously know we are equal and should be treated fairly but we don’t expect White People to know this, so we give them the benefit of the doubt when they say or...
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....

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.

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.

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...
