I can agree with most people that the live-action Grinch is far from a great movie, but this scene always kills me.

let your child be goofy and silly and make messes. teach them to clean up the messes without yelling at them. let your child be a child. not a mini adult who has to be perfect 24/7
Suicide definitely affects the black community whether you agree or not. This problem is far not new, but too many of us are afraid to talk about their problems what leads to depression and anxiety and, as a result, to suicide. And teenagers are the most sensitive and not protected against this phenomenon.
Skin color doesn’t provoke or prevent mental illness, chronic pain, depression, suicide, and etc. These are human conditions that black people experience throughout American history!
Mental Illness is a REAL issue. Black parents need to also quit passing the symptoms off as “wanting attention” , etc.
U.S. Greensboro sit ins, protesting racism & segregation
white people always wanna play devils advocate bc they’re all satan’s children
Niggas be like “Black Lives Matter” but dehumanized dark skinned women on a daily basis like what kinda contradiction
they’re quick to defend a light skinned woman though

Oh y’all ain’t know? A LOT of Latinos do NOT like Black people. Like at all. I grew up in a heavily populated Latino area, we had gangs that killed Black people (DMV, y’all remember 2004-2007?) A Black girl in my middle school got stabbed by a Latino girl cause she was by herself in the bathroom so the Black girls weren’t allowed to go to the restrooms by ourselves because our school was so heavy with anti-Black Latinos, girls especially.
Honestly don’t know why people are suddenly realizing this. Afro-Latinos attest to the discrimination they face from NB Latinos a LOT.
Non Black Latinxs only really see value in Black people when they wanna fuck us. And even then we mean nothing but a good fuck so
Also, we serve as generators of cool new sayings and mannerisms to co opt and say they had a say in, even tho they did not.
We’re objects to these ppl is what im saying
Your child pours all the toothpaste into the sink. Your kid cuts their own hair. Your baby gets into your lipstick and decides to put it on the dog. Your child cries because their crush doesn’t like them. That’s kids will be kids.
Your child calls other children homophobic, racist, or misogynistic slurs. Your child steals or tells other children that they’re not allowed to play in certain areas. Your kid punches their crush when that child doesn’t reciprocate their feelings. That is NOT “kids will be kids” and you as the parent or teacher need to put a stop to it.

This is so fucking telling, it really, really is.
Let’s not forget to acknowledge Alexandre Dumas this Black History Month
The writer of two of the most well known stories worldwide, The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo was a black man.
That’s excellence.
Let’s not forget that he was played on screen by a white man. And the fact that he was black is barely ever mentioned or the book he wrote inspired by his experiences.
Other things not to forget about Alexandre Dumas:
chose to take on his slave grandmother’s last name, Dumas, like his father did before him.
grew up too poor for formal education, so was largely self-taught, including becoming a prolific reader, multilingual, well-travelled, and a foodie, resulting in his writing both a combination encyclopedia/cookbook (which just— is fucking outrageous to me) AND the adaptation of The Nutcracker on which Tchaikovsky based his ballet
he also wrote a LOOOOT of nonfiction and fiction about history, politics, and revolution, bc he was pro-monarchy, but a radical cuss, and that got him in a lot of hot water at home and abroad.
even beyond that, he generally put up with a lot of racist bullshit in France, so he went and wrote a novel about colonialism and a BLATANTLY self-insert anti-slavery vigilante hero (which he then cribbed from to write the Count of Monte Cristo, the main character of which, Edmond Dantés, Dumas also based on himself).
(…a novel which also features a LOAD of PoC beyond the Count, and at LEAST one queer character, btw, bc EVERY MOVIE ADAPTATION OF ANYTHING BY DUMAS IS A LIE; seriously, at LEAST one of the four Musketeers is Black, y'all.)
famously, when some fuckshit or other wanted to come at Dumas with some anti-Black foolishness, Dumas replied, “My father was a mulatto, my grandfather was a Negro, and my great-grandfather a monkey. You see, Sir, my family starts where yours ends.”
for the bicentennial of his birthday, Pres. Jacques Cirac was like, “…sorry about the hella racism,” and had Dumas’s ashes reinterred at the Panthéon of Paris, bc if you’re gonna keep the corpses of the cream of the crop all together, Dumas’s more widely read and translated than literally everybody else.
and they are still finding stuff old dude wrote, seriously; like discovering “lost” works as recently as 2002, publishing stuff for the first time as recently as 2005.
ALSO IMPORTANT:
SWAG
I am absolutely ashamed to admit I had NO idea Dumas was black.
when this post first went around (a year ago apparently) I was like BUT WHAT ABOUT DADDY DUMAS THOUGH because basically
daddy general dumas was an immense fierce french warrior who was a 6 foot plus, stunningly gorgeous and charismatic Black gentleman
he invaded egypt
the native egyptians said “is this napoleon? this must be napoleon. we for one welcome our majestic new overlord”
then napoleon showed up
napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus
the native egyptians were like “… no… no, we’ve thought very hard and we’ll have General Dumas actually”
this did not make napoleon happy
in fact it made him jealous
napoleon felt so emasculated that he launched a campaign of revenge against General Dumas, including taking away his pension, that probably inspired a lot of Alexandre’s rather satisfying scenes in which fathers are nobly avenged and the money-grubbing villains are rubbed in the mud
I was never taught that he was Black either. WTF.
General Dumas (aka Thomas Alexandre Davy de La Pailleterie) looked like this…
…and like this…
…while “Napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus“…
:-D
I suspect Alexandre Dumas would have laughed at that, because besides looking like someone who laughed a lot…
…he was also a foodie.
I had zero idea. Black history month relevance folks
#if i become a magical girl i want this to be my weapon
If you were ever wondering what “hard femme” means, this is the very definition.
I just found my mothers strife specibus.
Now I’m just wondering what the hell sort of Magical Girl series this’d be a weapon for. Maybe one inspired by stuff like Double Dragon or The Warriors in a pre-Guliani New York with a “Secret Treasures” theme?
@lilgreencreeper
I kinda want one…for reasons.
@youlooksosmall I know you just want to punch Nazis with it. ;)
