White writers trying to describe someone as black instead of just saying they’re black: “sho thang girlfriend!” She said niggerishly as she popped her gum and ran her many ringed fingers thru her beautiful nappy kinky halo of ethnic hair that also had two cornrows on the sides, “ain’t not thang butta chicken wang!” We both cackled, she louder and more boisterous than me.

The multi-talented and magical @360.jpg has spun her wand once again. Not only can you get prints and canvas prints of her masterpieces, but now you can rock it on a dope t-shirt or a clock! Shreya, you never seize to amaze me. I always get stopped and complimented on this t-shirt when I'm out and about. (ANND it's extremely soft and comfy?!) How dope is it to say my bestie created this. Out. Of. This. Fuckin. World! Get yours at: https://society6.com/c360 💜💜💜

So last night 3 black girls at UALBANY were assaulted on the bus by 3 white males while being called niggers and my university did not even properly respond to the situation until they saw people were upset on social media THE NEXT DAY. They continue to call it an altercation while it obviously a hate crime. Just letting anyone out there know if they want to attend UALBANY next semester, don’t bother because they don’t give a fuck about us. Take your money elsewhere. This school sends out warning emails FOR everything with extremely detailed description of the predator but as of now we haven’t received anything and these 3 males are still roaming the campus. If the races were reverse they would have already been packing their bags to return home with a mass email already sent out.

I highly suggest that we all contact the following people and demand the representatives of the University at Albany to respond to this hate crime and take EFFECTIVE action IMMEDIATELY!!!

This is my school as well. The president and Campus Police have both issued their “statements.” Also, it wasn’t 3 males. It was about 10-12 of them. Not to mention the fact that NO ONE on that bus helped them. Not even the driver. This also happened on the campus of UAlbany so any story that says otherwise is FALSE. There is a rally being organized for Monday on campus. More info will be posted as more info is released.

a lot of men say they want women to embrace their natural beauty but they really just want women who are already “pretty enough” without makeup to not wear makeup… like, you don’t want someone to show their natural acne and scars and natural hyper pigmentation, you don’t let women have their natural mustaches, chin hair, beards, and unibrows without shitting on them, which is exactly how they grow for a lot of people, etc. you want women to wax and shape their natural brows, remove their natural facial hair and body hair, and do a strict skincare regimen to manipulate the chemistry and physiological processes of their skin to maintain clear unblemished skin and adhere to already existing beauty standards. you just don’t want them to wear the style of makeup you don’t like lol

Can I tell you a secret? You don’t have to be in a relationship.    I mean it. I know they force it down your throat until you choke on it. Girls aren’t pretty unless they’re wanted. Boys aren’t men unless they’re having sex with someone. People aren’t lovable until they’re dating someone.    But a relationship won’t always make you happy, and as wonderful as romance is, it isn’t the only love that exists. I have seen friendships that are deeper and more pure than couples who swear it’s forever - and yet the friendship is the one people ignore.    I have heard so often “nobody loves me” out of the mouths of people who are single. And it kills me because if you ask them: where are your parents, your teachers, your classmates, your pets - they say, yes, okay, but it doesn’t count. Of course it counts, love doesn’t diminish just because someone doesn’t want to have sex with you. In fact, doesn’t it sort of make that love more real that they want nothing - not even a date - out of you?   It is pretty to be in love. It’s magical, I’m sure. But it’s also wonderful to stop for ice cream in your prom dress with six other girls. It’s also wonderful to go visit the world with nothing but a bunch of buddies who are really excited about learning.    The problem is: we’ve made everything about “the one”. But maybe “the one” is just you, loving yourself, having fun, and being happy. Maybe instead of looking for our other halves, we should be piecing ourselves together.   Maybe I wasn’t born unfinished. Maybe I am the one who makes myself better.

When confidence relies on beauty, bad days for the body become bad days for the mind. Girls’ sense of worth crumbles, leaving them insecure and ignorant as to how to handle it; emphasizing beauty as a requirement for self-love means that the absence of beauty must lead to an absence of love. Teaching girls how to avoid these days is impossible, teach them to handle these days. Teach girls that they are funny, smart, engaging, compassionate, kind, insightful and valuable, and then figure out a better way to teach them that, if they want to, they can feel beautiful, too.

Black Teen Fatally Shot By Austin Police Was Naked And Unarmed

A black teenager who was naked and acting erratically in an Austin, Texas, neighborhood Monday was unarmed when he was fatally shot by police, the Austin Police Department says.

Police say that on Monday morning they received multiple calls from residents of the neighborhood in the northeast of the city reporting the teen, now identified as 17-year-old David Joseph, was “acting erratically” and “chasing” another male in a nearby apartment complex.

The 911 dispatcher told The officer the teen had no weapons that were reported and that he was unarmed before the officer arrived at the scene at about 10 a.m.  Freeman told police that Joseph did not listen to his commands before shooting.

“Mr. Joseph ultimately charged at the officer and that’s when shots were fired,” Manley said, noting Freeman fired just seconds after the confrontation began.

Police are reporting that although the dashboard camera recorded audio, it didn’t record video of the incident because most of the incident just happened to occur “outside of the frame.” The audio recording has not yet been made public.

Manley wouldn’t say if a stun gun was deployed by the officer during the incident, but seeing as the teen was obviously unarmed, There were other non-lethal forms of restraint that could have been used.

The teen died Monday at Round Rock Medical Center.
