fat girls have to look 10 times more bad ass and put together to be considered fashionable, I mean they REALLY have to stunt on some heauxs and even then the best they can hope for is “wow she’s hot for a fat girl” 

meanwhile skinny bitches can go out the house looking any kind of way and are considered ~fashionistas~ (see: the Olsen twins)

Facts.

all the truth.

what these “cracker” photo posts made me think of

siddharthasmama:

is that white people don’t get offended by the word ‘cracker’ because it hurts them,

by recalling hundreds of years of oppression, murder, genocide, rape, broken families, lost opportunities…

they get offended because POC are not allowed to speak “that way” to them.

they can’t believe you, a Black person or a POC, even opened your mouth to say something like that.

we know we use it because it’s, in all honesty, hilarious to watch them writhe in faux-pain over a word that isn’t even a racial slur.

we know the word doesn’t trigger them, make them feel useless, worthless… but it’s funny because they pitch such a fit for no reason.

so, keep making those “cracker” photos, until they realize, just maybe, how truly offensive their photos with the random use of the n-word on them are, and we’re only making ours to make fun of them.

You can laugh and criticize Michael Jackson if you wanna
Woody Allen, molested and married his step-daughter
Same press kicking dirt on Michael’s name
Show Woody and Soon-Ye at the playoff game, holding hands
Sit back and just bug, think about that
Would he get that type of dap if his name was Woody Black?
OJ found innocent by a jury of his peers
They been fucking with that Nigga for last five years
Is it fair, is it equal, is it just, is it right?
Do they do the same shit when the defendant face is white?
If white boys doing it, well, it’s success
When I start doing, well, it’s suspect
Don’t hate me, my folks is poor, I just got money
America’s five centuries deep in cotton money
You see a lot of brothers caked up, yo straight up
It’s new, Y’all living off of slave traders paper
But I’m a live though, yo I’m a live though
Putting up the big swing for my kids yo
Got my mom the fat water-front crib yo
I’m a get her them pretty bay windows
I’m a cop a nice home to provide in
A safe environment for seeds to reside in
A fresh whip for my whole family to ride in
And if I’m still Mr Nigga, I won’t find it surprising

Again it must be emphasized that the black men who are most worried about castration and emasculation are those who have completely absorbed white-supremacist patriarchal definitions of masculinity.

You are a Nigerian singing about an Igbo girl, talking about her mother. Feature an old South African woman smiling or attempting to dance. No one will notice. It will be shot on beautiful 35mm celluloid with all the best effects money can buy. It doesn’t have to make sense. It just has to be beautiful.

Because there has to be some sensuous dance in your video it will be important to get a lot of girls for your video. When auditioning, don’t look at faces. Nobody wants to see the faces of women. Breasts have to be more than sufficient and yes she has to be bootylicious. Whatever the word means. Early in the video make sure you show the body of a woman. Plenty cleavage please. Preferably let her dance with her behind. Men must cover as much of their body as possible. They must wear fez caps, long sleeved jackets on top of t-shirts, dark shades, you know, that kind of thing. Women, must cover as little of their bodies as possible. Learn from black American Hip hop. Watch the music channels on DSTV and you will see what I mean.

Now even though this is a Nigerian video, to show that you have truly arrived, you need to have that odd white girl making a fool of herself in the club or on the dance floor in addition to the many black girls with excessive, oily makeup. More than one white girl is great. If you can’t find a white girl get a pretty mixed race girl with long hair. You can find a lot of them in Port Harcourt. Show flashing clips of the mixed race girl. We will think she is white. Worst case scenario, get a really light skinned girl and let her wear a really long greasy weave or wig. Let her wear green or blue contact lenses. We will think she is mixed race.

Talk about ‘delusional’. How do ‘white nationalism’ and ‘humanism’ go together? U are willingly, actively, distancing yourself from everybody else in your multiracial society for whatever reasons I dnt want to explore. U think you are  a ‘crusader’ they didnt fight fair or’holy’ battles.They raped, and pillaged and killed innocents in God’s name. For a war God never asked them to fight. You shouldn’t be proud ur mind lives in a shoe box. The world is such a ‘small village’ so that we can all explore it learn from each other and grow,both as individuals and as societies. So i removed some tags. I dnt feel they are relevant to this post. I do feel that tagging the POTUS in this post as provocative as it is irrelevant. I am disappointed you felt to do that. but enough ranting.

Because it’s so much easier to talk ABOUT black people than to talk TO them.

VERITAS. Being Open and Real. Being Honest

An acquaintance shared a very personal chunk of his life with me and a couple of relative strangers. i thought he was ‘Brave’ and ‘Real’. Got me wondering what I am. The amount of things I know i’ll take to my grave. Alone.
