i take it extremely personally when someone blames a girl for looking older that her age when it comes to being harassed, assaulted or anything that makes her a victim. I didn’t ask to have breasts at a young age, to develop curves early because my cycle began early and you better believe the same is true of ALL young girls. We don’t ask for harassment we are already gonna receive our whole life to start so early we don’t even have a childhood. I didn’t ask for men to give me vulgar gestures or follow me in the mall when i was 12 and holding my father’s hand. I didn’t ask to be honked at by disgusting truck drivers while waiting for the school buses to leave. I didn’t even dress to show off my curves until i was 18/19 because men made me feel gross about my body 

so disgusted by people blaming CHILDREN for puberty when they sure as fuck can’t control it

the legend

This makes me so happy, and yet so sad.

He was smart, he was a writer (you could tell by his phrasing) and this is something he TRULY cares about. That boy has a heart and he cares. He sees the truth for what it is and he refuses to sit idly and watch as the youth of america just stumbles by.

BUT the teacher was done. She didn’t care. She was fed up.

BUT the students were uncaring, even laughing, as this young man walked out

BUT this video was put online to be deemed as a joke and embarrass that boy.

THAT is unexceptionable

THAT is not right.

If you are this young gentleman  if you are his relative, or if you have ever done something similar.

I am so proud of you

To take your opinion and share. NOT ONCE did he threaten her, NOT ONCE did he raise his voice above a proper projection so that the class could hear his words  NOT ONCE did he insult her in any means past how she was behaving with her job. He didn’t undermine her. He didn’t hurt her, and yet he gave his message and left in peace.

That makes him a true, undeniable, super hero in my eyes.

Thank you sir.

My mom, an elementary school teacher, clapped an applauded this boy when I showed this to her.

That boy is great

hot damn this kid knows where it’s at

No, seriously, listen to this guy: “You want kids to come into class, you want ‘em to be excited for this? You gotta come in here and make ‘em excited. You want a kid to change and start doing better, you gotta touch his freakin’ heart. And when you come in here like you did last time and you make a statement about ‘this is my paycheck,’ indeed it is. But this is my country’s future and my education.”

I would ask him to be my TA so fucking fast.

long hair kid for president

I do love the fact that this was taken with the intention to humiliate him, but instead it backfired and pretty much everyone who has watched this has cheered and applauded this guy.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget this.

The lynching of Jesse Washington. Washington was beaten with shovels and bricks,was castrated, and his ears were cut off. A tree supported the iron chain that lifted him above the fire. Jesse attempted to climb up the skillet hot chain. For this, the men cut off his fingers. Jesse was 15. 1916.

This is only one of the many images I see when I think of racism.

White followers and white people in general: Take a long hard look at this picture. Take a long hard look at the spectators to this abhorrent crime. The people who were behind the gruesome death of this 15 year old boy.

This is why Black people cannot just ‘get over it’.

This is why we are ‘whining’ and ‘complaining’ so much.

This is why you, white people, cannot say the word, nigger.

More fucking reblogs. 

No you can’t touch my hair.

No you can’t say NIGGA, IDGAF if the rappers do.

Stay in your lane. 

And so many of my white followers are going to ignore this post like they ignore any other black culture post I make.

I will love you as a thief loves a gallery and as a crow loves a murder, as a cloud loves bats and as a range loves braes. I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong. I will love you as a battlefield loves young men and as peppermints love your allergies, and I will love you as the banana peel loves the shoe of a man who was just struck by a shingle falling off a house. I will love you as a volunteer fire department loves rushing into burning buildings and as burning buildings love to chase them back out, and as a parachute loves to leave a blimp and as a blimp operator loves to chase after it. I will love you as a dagger loves a certain person’s back, and as a certain person loves to wear dagger proof tunics, and as a dagger proof tunic loves to go to a certain dry cleaning facility, and how a certain employee of a dry cleaning facility loves to stay up late with a pair of binoculars, watching a dagger factory for hours in the hopes of catching a burglar, and as a burglar loves sneaking up behind people with binoculars, suddenly realizing that she has left her dagger at home. I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the noise of glass shattering loves to make someone else gasp, and as someone else gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret compartment. I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world. I will love you until all the codes and hearts have been broken and until every anagram and egg has been unscrambled. I will love you until every fire is extinguised and until every home is rebuilt from the handsomest and most susceptible of woods, and until every criminal is handcuffed by the laziest of policemen. I will love until M. hates snakes and J. hates grammar, and I will love you until C. realizes S. is not worthy of his love and N. realizes he is not worthy of the V. I will love you until the bird hates a nest and the worm hates an apple, and until the apple hates a tree and the tree hates a nest, and until a bird hates a tree and an apple hates a nest, although honestly I cannot imagine that last occurrence no matter how hard I try. I will love you as we grow older, which has just happened, and has happened again, and happened several days ago, continuously, and then several years before that, and will continue to happen as the spinning hands of every clock and the flipping pages of every calendar mark the passage of time, except for the clocks that people have forgotten to wind and the calendars that people have forgotten to place in a highly visible area. I will love you as we find ourselves farther and farther from one another, where we once we were so close that we could slip the curved straw, and the long, slender spoon, between our lips and fingers respectively. I will love you until the chances of us running into one another slip from slim to zero, and until your face is fogged by distant memory, and your memory faced by distant fog, and your fog memorized by a distant face, and your distance distanced by the memorized memory of a foggy fog. I will love you no matter where you go and who you see, no matter where you avoid and who you don’t see, and no matter who sees you avoiding where you go. I will love you no matter what happens to you, and no matter how I discover what happens to you, and no matter what happens to me as I discover this, and now matter how I am discovered after what happens to me as I am discovering this.
