“There should be a drug class, there should be sex education, there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on Apartheid, there should be a class on racism in America, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on.. gym.”

Oh how, oh how I love you baby
These people are so crazy
I really need you baby, need you to stay”

“I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness. The proof is how beautiful sad songs can be. So I don’t think being sad is to be avoided. It’s apathy and boredom you want to avoid. But feeling anything is good, I think. Maybe that’s sadistic of me.”

kinda makes any other women feel like shit 

so this is really stupid

i feel like this was kinda racist

like, fucking racist

^^ PLEASE get out of here with that NONSENSE. in a world where black women are seen as “less than” because they’re not up to par with the european standard of beauty, this is NOT racism. this is acknowledgement that we’re just as beautiful. there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a black man embracing black women.

so proud of myself for making this gif.

don’t like it? found it offensive? then don’t fucking re-blog it.

HEY GUYS! It’s now officially “fucking racist” to tell Black women they’re/we’re beautiful! It’s like, totally HURTFUL and stuff, even! Cause you know, being inundated with white women as the beauty norm in every magazine, ad, t.v. commercial and on the Internet is NOT a problem. Don’t forget all the men, of all races, who swear on they life that white women are the BEST and most beautiful.

Let’s just ignore all the millions of Black women (and little girls) that, for literally centuries, have been made to feel like ugly little nuisances on the face of humanity because every which way we present ourselves, we get slapped down as unattractive, mammyish, bitchy, loud, and whatever other way they can objectify and devalue us.

FUCK YOU GUYS THAT THINK IT’S RACIST TO LET OUR WOMEN HAVE A LITTLE RECOGNITION BY OUR MEN/OTHER MEN AND HELL, OUR WOMEN,TOO!

seriously?! SERIOUSLY?!

i’m issuing a “FUCK. YOU. VERY. MUCH.” on behalf of myself and every other black woman who has been told in some way or another EVERY SINGLE DAY of her life that she is nowhere near as beautiful as her white counterparts.

I’m Eatin’ Too Much Of It of the Day: 17-year-old Stacey Irvine of Castle Vale, Birmingham, has admitted to eating practically nothing besides chicken nuggets since she was two.

Irvine was recently rushed to the hospital after collapsing at work. Doctors there told her she had anemia and made it clear that she was going to die if she didn’t immediately add fruits and vegetables to her diet. “I am starting to realise this is really bad for me,” Irvine acknowledged.

Still, she says she can’t stop eating nuggets on a daily basis. “McDonald’s chicken nuggets are my favourite. I share 20 with my boyfriend with chips,” she is quoted as saying. “But I also like KFC and supermarket brands. My main meal is always chicken nuggets every day.”

According to Irvine, her mother Evonne, who introduced her to McNuggets when she was two, has long since given up trying to get her to eat anything else. “I’m at my wit’s end,” says Evonne, a 39-year-old beauty therapist. “I’m praying she can be helped before it’s too late.”

Historic Engagement of the Day: Rep. Barney Frank, who in 1987 became the first openly gay member of Congress, is set to become the first openly gay member of Congress to be legally married while still in office.

According to Frank’s spokesman Harry Gural, the Massachusetts rep. and longtime partner Jim Ready are preparing to tie the knot in their home state. A wedding date has not yet been set.

Frank and Ready first met at a fundraiser in 2005. They entered into a relationship in 2007, following the death of Ready’s partner.

Ready has been a source of some controversy for the Congressmen. He was arrested in 2007 for growing marijuana near his home in Maine. He pled guilty and was fined. Frank, who was in the house at the time, later released a statement saying Ready apologized and promised not to do it again.

71-year-old Frank announced late last year that he would be retiring at the end of his current term.

Congrats Mr. Frank!
