Knowledge Of A Queen @black-hippie416 - Tumblr Blog

im literally not exaggerating when i tell you guys this video saved my life

This is a damn MOOD FOR LIFE, I tell you what.

This is beautiful, not just because of the lyrics, harmonies and relatable message, but also because Cinderella (Brandy), One of the Hercules Muses (Roz Ryan) , and Mama Odie (Jenifer Lewis) are singing it. Like we have been blessed.

♬ "Do you know where you're going to?"♬ Here are 70 of the most iconic black films, through the year 2000.

this list ignores the last 15 years of movies, but that makes sense. if we’re going to talk about “classics”, we have to give the movies time to become classics.

once again i’m bitching at you all but basically if ur a white woman joking abt objectifying men ~but in a feminist way~ i’d strongly encourage you to look into the history ww have with LITERALLY objectifying men of color and think long and hard about whether ur actually being funny or if this is maybe inappropriate. yes, it’s a joke. i’m aware. but for some reason ur quirky objectification seems to have a body count in moc and not white men.

in general you white girls on here seem to forget that you are often the most violent tools of white supremacy and use your whiteness to degrade, humiliate, brutalize and objectify (hey look at that) poc INCULUDING moc, especially black men, and idk why u can’t get it through ur thick fucking skulls that u Also hve to watch what u say !!!!!! anyway please be fucking normal Thank You.

you are encouraged to reblog this if ur white and if you have thoughts on this keep it to urself including in the tags. i’m not in the mood for ur bitching and moaning.
