Is that all you care about, money and applause? And sex, for which I generally get applause.

"An actress can only play a woman. I’m an actor, I can play anything." "I am an artist, art has no color and no sex." "I’m fighting the label of black actress simply because it’s very limiting in people’s eyes, especially people who are making movies.” "I don’t look like Halle Berry. But chances are she’s going to end up looking like me." 

- Whoopi Goldberg

Lu: Mom, [Kid at school] said boys are tougher than girls but that’s not true.

Me: You’re right. You should just tell him that gender doesn’t matter.

Lu: *SIGH* I won’t remember that.

Me: Fine, just tell him girls are also tough. We’re so tough we push babies out our vaginas.

In response to anyone who thinks they have an fierce inner black woman in them and is not in fact, a black woman See the thing about that fire and that “fierceness” is that it’s born out of our oppression, out of always being told that we are ugly, that our bodies are too fat or too muscular, that we don’t have the right kind of hair — and having to deconstruct all those things and tell ourselves that we are beautiful even though society is telling us that we are not.   That strength is born out of always having to defend ourselves against white supremacy and anti-black-woman-patriachy. From years of not seeing ourselves represented in anything aligned with beauty, of buying products that are made to make us look like not ourselves. So there is no way you could have an inner black woman in you. You have not experienced our struggle, you don’t know it, you haven’t lived it, and you can’t imagine it.  See, you can’t sit with us, because we haven’t been able to sit at your table since our existence in this country. And while we were being excluded from your table we made our own, and it is fabulous and fly. And of course you now want to try and have a seat at our table, take our table, use it and ignore all the labor that went into creating THAT table. But nah, sorry boo boo. You ain’t never going to be us, you can try to wear your hair like us, you can try to dance like us, talk like us, wish you were us, but know this — YOU-WILL-NEVER-BE-US
