the thing is as black women you are doubly oppressed from society for being black and from black men for being women. This is why it can be said, sadly that when it comes to the societal totem pole black women are at the bottom. A grand portion of the oppression from black men can be attributed to living in a patriarchal system; however at the same time let us...

Men, sending an unsolicited email to a customer/client because you think they’re cute is both creepy and likely a violation of your work ethics policy.
I get it, guitar center dude, you were attracted, I was funny, we bounced jokes off of each other and talked about our old piercings. You might have felt a connection, and didn’t know how to express that, or felt doing so on the job...
About the way I love
1) I am “all” or “nothing” emotionally and psychologically. I try to apply this same level of interpersonal connection with everyone upon first meeting as I see all humans as potential family.
2) I require two basic things in order for the people I know to be friends, lovers, family, confidants as oppose to just people I know:
I need to feel the other person is making an...

I hadn’t really made the connection with the first lady and the increased attacks on black women, so I greatly appreciated and enjoyed this read. The only thing I didn’t like about the article, and someone may have already mentioned this, is that it (or I felt that it) unintentionally places middle class values and white notions of respectability as good, and working class values, and...

milkeemountainmama:
How many feminist institutions have worked to organize local feminist groups on how to apply for and start up/run a community radio station? Did you know that the process to get a radio station was opened to the public for the first time in YEARS recently by the FCC? Did you know right wing churches have been organizing their communities?
Is there something wrong with Tumblr
It’s saying that people have reblogged “my posts” or “your post” but they’re posts I not only didn’t write, but don’t even remember myself reading, let alone reblogging.

I don’t like when overt forms of anti-Black racism are talked about like accidents. I don’t like when people say, “Whether you mean to or not…” about situations where the perpetrator very clearly meant to cause harm or degrade or dismiss a person because of their Blackness. Or even if intent is…

"It's not always about race!"
deliciouskaek:
Okay. I can see why you’d say that.
Except that when people are having a discussion about race, or about how race affects daily life, it is about race. Whenever people are talking about race, it is about race.
If you’re coming into a conversation that is about race to talk about how it’s not about race, you need to think about what your role in that discussion really is.
