I may have blew my students byrds, unintentionally, by/when teaching them that corporations are NOT neutral.
That every choice is deliberate.

On Clutch Danielle Belton has an excellent and problematic post titled, “Celebrating the Black Beauty on White Women”. She discusses in general the politics of race and women’s bodies as well as the politics of White artists performing what has historically been seen as Black music (see Eminem, Elvis and Adele).
I am really interested in the politics of race and Black...

this gentleman came up to me…and attempted to talk. I was not in the mood after 5 hours in the car.
I said, nah, I am cool, I am waiting for my drink. (I was out by myself and I have learned the hard way to watch my drinks with a tighter eye as I am concerned about being drugged).
He proceeded to talk, “How as your Christmas, How was your day”. It was almost like he was...

modernstoneage asked: You are fucking fantastic. I can always count on your posts to verbalize the very things I've had disjointed thoughts and seemingly unnameable feelings about and articulate them into something meaningful. I'm working on honing that ability, but have got a very far way to go. Thank you for existing :)

It’s like. I want to see Black girls be whole. Regardless of who they like to have sex with. But I know that we are read as being hella deviant, so for those of us who engage in “deviant sex” ostensibly in a movie….well I would imagine that there is a fear that Black girls having “deviant sex” will make us look “bad” in front of Whites.

Oh my! I am so grateful that while on my way to handle my bidness this morning, I came across a gang of church pews being put out for trash. In the midst of these pews, one stood out as being THE ONE! I have always wanted a pew as a couch. I have always loved the ornamentation of religious spaces.

Personally, I find hair intimacy important in a relationship. Growing up, I was taught the importance of good hair hygiene and it was hammered into my head never to share a comb with anyone. These were the rules to good heath; clip your nails, never share a toothbrush or a comb, brush your teeth….
This is one of the best Blogs I have come across in a long time.
