I know I submitted this a long time ago and I just had to respond.
I’m sorry but I just wanted to post this IGNORANT SHIT. Please do not get me started. Are they freaking kidding me?
Opinions are like assholes - everyone has them.
Opinions can also be as useless as the person giving them.
We had natural hair before and after slavery, therefore I will never understand the association of natural hair with ‘runaway slaves’.
If you think it’s ugly, that is your opinion but realise that no one is going to stop wearing their natural hair. People are turning natural like crazy right now, I bet you hate that, don’t you?! ‘Cancer is natural’? What a strange argument, we could go into the semantics about that if you want… But to include flat irons were invented etc… well flat irons are unnatural and are not good for us either!
I’ll keep flipping my natural hair everywhere I go, people who have a problem need to take a stadium full of seats because no fucks are given.
I absolutely love your response^ well said.
Oh excuse me but I was under the impression that the way I wear my hair is my decision… you know… cause it’s my head. I forgot that everything I do must please you. I should be more considerate of you because the way I wear my hair makes you uncomfortable, so I guess I will press, burn, and kill my hair so that I can continue to look like you and make you happy. Cause the whole world revolves around you.

My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…
Pluto is there.
The artist remembered Pluto.
Guys…
The artist drew Pluto crying.
F u c k
awww poor Pluto
This is unbearably cute and sad

Jesus, it’s not about YOU. How can anyone not get that? “Play the race card” my ass. Look at these photos, THAT is what the race card looks like. Not some clueless twit inconvenienced at McDonald’s. Christ.This is horrible. I hope the scumbags who did this to the op drove right over a fucking cliff. God dammit, why are people so hideous?Tonight I was hit with a hand full of eggs and huge rock on my back and called “Nigger” by a white guy in the backseat of a dark blue truck as I was riding my bike on Westheimer and Jeanetta. They drove too fast for me to get the license plate number. I had to get a cop to drive me home. This night makes me wonder how blacks did it back in the day, and why the community is looking the way it is now. I am trying not to cry, but I am in physical pain from the rock and not understanding why I deserved this.
uugh
Reblogging because solidarity.
You don’t know me, but I got your back, any day, any hour, any minute.
I once saw a large truck full of african american males switch lanes, come towards where I was standing on the curb in the rain and purposefully go REALLY fast to hit a large puddle to make it splash me, then saw them roll down the windows and point at me as they laughed.
I am a single white female. I hate to bring race or anything into this and I am sure white people are just as much as ass holes but racism of any kind HAS GOT TO STOP it’s not okay no matter what race you are to hate on any other races! I have been targeted SO MANY times because I am white and female, mostly by men either white OR black doesn’t matter.
I remember once I was in a long line at McDonalds, I would have been next to be served when another lane opened up and the clerk motioned to me to step over to be served. I moved, HUGE black guy who just walked in the store (I saw him enter cause of the position of the doors) Tried to shove me away so he could get helped first. I might have made a face but I know I said, “I have been waiting I was next” he said, “I was clearly here first.” I said, “No you just came in I’ve been waiting in that line.” He gets REALLY uppity and starts shouting, “WELL WHEN YOU’RE WHITE YOU’RE RIGHT” and starts throwing this huge fit.
The cashier (she was black) tells the man that he’s being immature and that she clearly saw I was next and motioned for me to come over, that bringing race into this was not an issue. The guy would just not shut up about me being a white princess and spoiled, when dude I was at the same McDonalds he was in the same bad part of town where I always hung out cause clearly princesses eat at McDonalds in Downtown cleveland. Anyway he had to be removed claiming racial discrimination when even the other people of his race were looking at him like he was a total idiot.
Like I said this has to stop, so I reblogged to share your story as well.
Wow.
You thought sharing your experiences as a white woman was the right way to go here?
You decided to turn the lens onto you and your experiences instead of focusing on what was at hand.
You were not a victim of racism. This young woman was.
This is not about you.
so let me get this straight
because the second victim was white and because she wasn’t struck what happened to her was automatically not racism??
that’s ridiculous and you sound ridiculous
both of these people were victims of racism, albeit different forms, and the second woman was only sharing her story to sympathize with the op
^^^
Identifying, sympathizing, and sharing a similar experience with someone is not a bad thing.
In fact, it’s the one of the things we should be doing more of.
^^^
YES
If I had something like this happen to me as a Latina I wouldn’t be offended for anyone’s sharing their own experience.
I’m sorry this happened to you OP, and to anyone who this has happened to.
holy shit black people cannot have fucking nothing without fucking crackers busting in talking about their racism
fuck all of you
in the face
Racism is racism is racism. It doesn’t matter what color your skin is. Prejudice is prejudice, and I have met African Americans who try to play the race card just to get something out of it, just like White people do too. The OP’s story is really sad, and so is the other poster’s story. Just because the other poster is white doesn’t make it NOT racism.
The ONLY way people are going to be able to stop racism is to stop saying that it only goes one way and not another. It’s the same with accepting all sexualities; just because someone says something negative about heterosexuals doesn’t make that not-prejudiced. It’s prejudiced either way.
And it’s disgusting.once again white people cannot fucking shut up for TWO SECONDS TO SEE A GIRL CALLED A NIGGER AND BASHED WITH A DAMN ROCK AND SAY SORRY

I just want to tell you what it’s like not to have Planned Parenthood…you have to give your kids Ramen noodles at the end of the month to fill up their little bellies so they won’t cry. You have to give them mayonnaise sandwiches. They get very few fruits and vegetables because they’re expensive. It subjects children to low educational attainment because of the ravages of poverty.
…
And let me tell you, you know the public policy has treated poor children and women who have not had the benefit of Planned Parenthood with utter contempt.- Representative Gwen Moore, via Ebony (via iamdrtiller)

The Stateville, N.C. Record & Landmark newspaper today gave free publicity to the Ku Klux Klan, printing their flyer for a racist white-power rally in Harmony on the front page.
Activists in Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte are working with the local community to organize a counter-demonstration on Saturday. Details will be posted as soon as they are available.
In the meantime, give the bosses at the Record & Landmark a piece of your mind.

The article reads:
“The Klu Klux Klan is planning a rally and cross burning in southern Iredell County on Saturday.
Flyers advertising the Harmony area rally specify ‘white people only’ and say it is a ‘white unity event’. ????- based Loyal White Knights of the Klu Klux Klan is organizing the rally on private property at an undisclosed location.
A call placed to the number listed on the flyer was answered by a machine. The male voice on the machine said the rally is not about hate and said ‘Save our land, join the Klan’ and concludedwith the words, ‘if it ain’t white, it ain’t right’.
A message left by the R&L on the machine was not returned as of Tuesday evening
Skip McCall, president of the Statesville Branch of the NAACP said while he is disappointed to learn that such ideal are still being expressed, the KKK has the same rights to free speech as anyone else.”
I’m disappointed in McCall’s response for more than one reason…
