I just need to express
How much I am crushing/lusting for this boy that came in my job last week. It makes absolutely no sense, we spoke maybe 3 sentences to each other, yet he’s all I’ve been able to think about…. ugghhhhhh

“ I have bi-racial hair because I have bi-racial blood. And I’m not talking about that cute “They met and fell in love” blood. I’m talking about that slave raped 6 times by the master,birthed 6 mixed babies and later hung, blood. I’m talking about that cross burning in the mud,blood. And you call me a mud blood? Slit my wrists, my blood does not excrete in black and white. I bleed in verse and in red, like what dripped from Emmett Till’s lips when he was killed for breaking the colored lines.

I remember watching the video this is from a couple years ago and just trembling. So much truth in this. This is why I do not take it as an inherent compliment when people comment on my mixed race appearance.

: dank-potion: So Pro-life Conservatives care about poor Black children...
So Pro-life Conservatives care about poor Black children up until they’re born and can no longer serve as a propaganda tool for their anti-choice, autonomy-denying political stance via emotional appeal? Because God forbid those poor Black children grow up and actually need any…
“ Many men who harass women say their intent is to compliment them, but why do they usually not “compliment” women who are accompanied by other men and often only do it when a woman is alone? Why do they tend to object to other men “complimenting” their female significant other (if applicable), female friends, or female family members? Why do some men grow hostile and violent when women do not thank them and act flattered? Why do they feel compelled to compliment women at all? Rarely are they expecting a date. Many times they do not even wait to see a woman’s reaction as they fly by in their car or as they turn to start harassing the next woman. They are doing it to exert their power, to entertain their friends, to relieve boredom, or do demonstrate that they can evaluate a complete stranger to her face, just because she is a woman.
Stop Street Harassment: Holly Kearl (via completelymoribund)
The thing that so many men need to understand is that women do not consider it a compliment when they are being harassed on the street. Women usually feel either embarrassed or terrified or a combination of the two. So stop fucking doing it.

it’s so telling that men tend to do this when they’re in a group of other men. and i’ve never had it happen when i’m hanging out with dudes, especially not when i’m with my ginormous dad (most men don’t give a fuck about harassing me if i’m with my mom who is as small as i am). so if it isn’t sexual, or threatening, and you just want to ~make me smile~ then why can you only do it when i’m perceived as vulnerable?
(via hyper—ballad)
I would add that it rarely happens or when I am around men who know that I am dating someone at that time. Many men (certainly not all) are willing to lay off if they perceive that you are “owned” - otherwise, you’re public property, and they’re free to treat you however they like. Any competition that erupts is less to flatter the woman than to establish temporary rights to her, even if they must degrade her to do so.
(via desliz)
that or the nature of the so-called compliments will change if youre w a man. they will go from a respectful “you look beautiful this evening” when youre w a dude to some vulgar shit about your pussy, if youre alone. because youre not worthy of respect as just a woman.

My sister got a flat tire in the freeway yesterday. She had nine cars roll down their window and yell how good she looked and how great her ass was, but not a single car stopped to help her.
Thanks for the compliments, you pieces of crap.

“ And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it’s time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can’t make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it’s time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can’t make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
Tupac, “Keep Ya Head Up.”
This is my favorite verse from this song. I love it! Tupac was a genius.
