It ain’t like we marched, organized and protested for it, or anything..
It ain’t like we done got shut down, beaten or anything during those times either.
Nope. Us blackity black people just stole the racial spotlight and was like “Eff all the rest of y’all.”
It has nothing to do with blackness being pushed as the bottom of the racial spectrum. Nothing at all.

confession:
I dont mind when Black hetero folk speak in defense of homo folk and call themselves anti-heterosexism.
I dont mind when Black men speak in defense of women and call them selves feminist/womanist.
But I surely do mind when white people call themselves “anti-racist allies.”
because they suck at it way worse than the other...

After everything that went on my dash and on my blog today on Tumblr?
Maybe.
Why is the result of all PoC have to say about our experiences “Do you hate White people?” to White folks?! Are you fucks THAT damn narcissistic and self-centered that everything and all has to begin, end and center around YOU?! Does our fight to be seen and treated as full-fledged human...

I’m coming from the perspective of a bisexual female who came out in the eighties. So here it goes:
Standing up for something you know is right is making oneself a target. To take a stand on anything against the status quo and a false norm often puts one directly in the line of fire. Doing the right thing is not the norm, when the norm is...

That’s what kills me about affirmative action and white people who use it to explain everything they don’t get.
It’s like they think I am here at this racist institution solely because I’m *black*. And that being black means I am less accomplished than they are. And that I am here to *teach* them…

Protective fathers are interesting… the kind that routinely “joke” about keeping a shot gun close by for the male who tries to get at their daughter. A lot of older brothers are like that too. Lucky for Joshua, both my father and all of the older males in my life that do the protective routine…
