I like Robin. Unlike Batman he has natural ability that money didn’t buy
Batman’s special ability is: rich white guy
and i’m not here for that
his special ability is being a genius and hard worker lol gtfo. you think his suit does the work?
Being a rich white guy is the reason why he can do shit and the only reason could build a suit
How is that...

I do my best to try and be as clear as possible. I don’t always get it right but I try.
I try to explain my feelings and why I feel them.
So if I have taken the time to say why I am *insert emotion* please don’t try to speak for me.

I just need to get this out there.
I am completely washing my hands off any western woman of colour who claim to be a feminist and standing for ‘us’. I realised that as a westerner, western privilege is as much dangerous to me as white supremacy. And just like white women think of themselves as the default...

He didnt Name Himself.
I was tryna be sensible about this but I quit.
“Zimmerman isnt racist”
“Hitler was misunderstood”
“She enjoyed it”
“She didnt resist”
“He didnt name himself”
Last week I heard that the name Kanye was taken from the Igbo Name Kanyitobechukwu ( let us give Praise to God). It is common in various African cultures to have a...

But if you keep letting us slide for shit and blame it on that “girl, you know how men are”
We will keep playing that role.
Men are not oblivious to the situation around them, but if you maintain that assumption, we will keep playing that card.
Hold your men accountable.

African Culture.
First of all let me start by saying this is wrong. Africa is a collection of cultures. IT IS NOT ONE CULTURE. In African we have the Berbars, the Habeshas, the Fulani, the Wollof, Asante, Yoruba, Bini, Igbo, Hausa, Buganda, Massai, Hottentot, Zulu, Bantu and a host of other cultures. Some of these cultures have given birth to subcultures, or breakaway cultures formed by the merging of two for...

Curious about Obamas genealogy?
They should have shook George Bushs family tree. I bet people would have been surprised by how many niggers would have fell out.
