If God answered all our prayers, there'd be nothing left for us to do ourselves. Life is about problems, and overcoming those problems. And growing and learning from obstacles. If God just fixed everything for us, then there'd be no point in our existence.
Jesus, “Are You There God? It’s Me, Jesus”
Jesus never said wait never pointed to the sky never claimed he'd rise again never asked us to eat his flesh jesus never asked for anything
Flynn, “Jesus Knew”
In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind
Lady Gaga, “Judas”
As a general rule no one should ever be allowed to say 'there is no history of racial tension here,' because that sentence has never been true anywhere on the earth.
John Oliver
Oh say can you see, this is the American Dream Young boy, hustlin' Tryna get the wheels in motion But he can be anything at all In America, America
Rihanna, “American Oxygen”
In interactions with others you’re constantly waiting to see that they recognize that you’re a human being. That they can feel your heartbeat and you can feel theirs. And that together you will live—you will live together. The truce is that. You forgive all of these moments because you’re constantly waiting for the moment when you will be seen. As an equal. As just another person. As another first person.
Rankine, “Blackness as the Second Person”
You assume she thinks she is thanking you for letting her cheat and feels better cheating from an almost white person.
Rankine, “Citizen”
Black people can't be racist. Prejudice, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can't be racist since we don't stand to benefit from such a system.
Sam White, Dear White People
a takeout box between my legs. plastic bag lady. flimsy white fork to snap in half. dispose of me.
“To the Man who Shouted I Like Pork Fried Rice at me on the Street” - Franny Choi (via trevorlewis2168)
I really like this quote from the poem because I feel like it is the perfect metaphor for how some men objectifying women. She compares herself to a takeout box, because once you are done with it you throw it away, just like some men do to women once they have slept with her. Comparing herself to a flimsy white fork snapped in half shows how she feels like men view women as not having feelings, and not being an actual person.
But i’ve been watching from the slaughterhouse. Ever since you named me edible. Tossed in a cookie at the end. Lucky man.

See, I only date hood. My last man? He never even met his father. Four women, six kids. Three of whom are named after luxury cars.
Ross Gay, “Some Instructions on Black Masculinity Offered to my Black Friend by the White Woman He Briefly Dated”
It seems we living the American dream But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem The prettiest people do the ugliest things
Kanye West, “All Falls Down”
Our sense is that the criminal system cannot be relied upon to administer justice for Black folks, and was, in fact, historically designed to control Blacks within a racial caste system. There always seemed to be different rules for definitions of crimes, reasons for arrests, charges to be filed and prosecuted, juries of “peers,” views from the bench, verdicts, sentencing, and the rest since the slave times.
Richael Faithful, “#BLACKLIVESMATTER KITCHEN TALK”
There is no Negro problem. There is no Southern problem. There is no Northern problem. There is only an American problem.
Lyndon B. Johnson, Selma 2014
“They convinced me” meaning
they had dragged her 4'10” black Woman’s frame
over the hot coals
of four centuries of white male approval
until she let go"- Power by Lorde
I think this is a very crucial part of Lorde’s poem because it provides a distinct visual image of what she is trying to say. She means to say that the white men forced the one black woman to be submissive to them and give in. That alone is a very powerful statement, and Lorde adding the violent visual component only makes it seem more real.
Knowledge is a vitally important part of the social relations of domination and resistance. By objectifying African-American women and recasting our experiences to serve the interests of elite white men, much of the Eurocentric masculinist worldview fosters Black women's subordination
Patricia Hill Collins, “Black Feminist Thought in the Matrix Domination”
Momma taught me good home training My Daddy taught me how to love my haters My sister told me I should speak my mind My man made me feel so God damn fine (I'm flawless!)
