““Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I’ve heard educated white people say, ‘slavery was 400 years ago.’ No it very wasn’t. It was 140 years ago…that’s two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That’s how recently you could buy a guy.””

- Louis C.K. (via 30thcenturyboy)

Sylvester Magee, the (probable) last American born into slavery died in 1971.

The last living child of former American slaves, Mississippi Winn, died in 2010.

Slavery in the territory that is now the United States lasted more than 330 years. We will be 330 years removed from slavery in the year 2195.

I guess they figured: “If we can do it to Beyonce, we can do it to Rihanna.” And that’s where rape culture got clocked.

organic thoughts, uncensored.: I just read the article about a teacher cutting a little girls hair off in class:

dekuumba:

And when I read shit like this, all I can think is…

How is this teacher bitch still walking comfortably on two legs?? Why no one sent some boys to her house? Why she ain’t fucked up? Why she still got them fingers she put on them scissors? Why didn’t somebody come back and embarrass her ass in…

Tzitzi. I can’t. You are, my hero.

Happy father’s day to the two women who have raised me. My Mother and my grandmother. I would be nothing, had it not been for you. Thank you for having the courage and the strength to do it on your own.

So I was on the train today and these two black guys were having a conversation not even that loud and said “nigga” like once when this white lady turns around and says “How do you think MLK Jr. would feel about you using that kind of language” and one of the guys snaps back and said “Idk maybe if your people didn’t shoot him I would know”

Somewhere in the 300 count of threads between the sheets we made home
Are 300 memories that won’t wash out
And 300 nights of breathing you in alone
Between empty sheets
That still smell like you.

Homophobic people make me sick. Homophobic people who use God as an excuse for their ignorance are cowards, and make me even sicker.
