"Your love is too thick," he said... "Too thick?" she said, thinking of the Clearing where Baby Suggs' commands knocked the pods off horse chestnuts. "Love is or it ain't. Thin love ain't love at all." (18.19-20)
Toni Morrison from Beloved
I am realizing, that for many, my love is too thick. Pity that. Because it is also, so damn amazing...

My grandfather remembering living through 'The Great Depression'....
“There wasn’t no ‘great depression’, we was already poor. We ain’t have shit already. We didn’t really even notice things had changed. My daddy already wasn’t gettin hired. My mama was cleaning houses, so when they fired her, we just thought it was because she was Indian. We didn’t notice. We was used to the struggle. So, when white people was panicking about the depression, ‘oh, we poor’, ‘oh, we hungry’! Shit, so was we! They only called it a ‘great depression’ because a great number of white people was poor and hungry. But, we’d been hungry, tired, poor, outcast, unloved, unwanted, all that shit. We ain’t have no ‘depression’. We was already depressed.”
I always noticed how during this period of time only pictures of white people were shown….
Yup.

Because we have to remember to put our oxygen masks on first.
Spent time talking to a friend yesterday about the courage of transparency as it pertains to Black women. Being oneself when the world constantly rejects one's beauty, one's humanity even. No easy task. Oh, but the freedom that comes with self acceptance...

THIS IS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT!
black ballerina excellence
So gorgeous and elegant
Why is this important? i see a girl doing ballet, stop outlining difference, its important we just admire the skills, and afore mentioned ellegance
First of all shut the fuck up and have several seats
and heres why in Michaela’s own words what she had to go through beig BLACK and still goes through
When she was around 8 and rehearsing for The Nutcracker, just a few days before the performance she was told, “I’m sorry, you can’t do it. America’s not ready for a black girl ballerina.”
For Michaela, “to say this to an 8-year-old is just devastating. It was terrible.”
When she was 9, a teacher told her mother: “I don’t like to put money into black dancers because they grow up and end up having big boobs and big hips.”
The dancer looked down at her petite figure and protested, “I don’t have boobs. I don’t get it.”
Instead of getting her down, “It makes me more determined,” she said. “Because I’ve been through so much, I know now that I can make it and I can help other kids who have been in really bad situations realize that they can make it too.”
This is why it is important, for little Black girls to see a black ballerina made it despite being discriminated against because of her skin color!!!
Not to mention ballet is one of the most racists activity. I was in a dance company for 10 years, and every year more and more black girls left because, according to the teachers, “they aren’t passionate about it”.
It took me five more years (I was 12 when my first friend “quit) to understand what teachers were telling black girls. “You’ll get too big” “you can’t dance properly with big hips”. Need I mention, at the time I was 16 and most of us were fully grown?
Not to mention, our ballet teacher supported these black girls getting eating disorders and constantly shared “tips” with them on how to stay thin. Like the “white girls”.
Even more bullshit; professional ballet teachers tend to just be awful and pick on anyone who is even a “bit” different. If your hair is too short, you get picked on. If your boobs fucking grew, you get picked on. They can be both physically and mentally abusive, I have seen it first hand.
BUT if you’re black, you get picked on THEN you get kicked the fuck out.
Not so surprisingly, I fucking quit
Professional Ballet is for white, thin, young women. That is why this story is fucking important.
