“What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciation of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of the United States, at this very hour.”

— Frederick Douglass, The Meaning of July Fourth to the Negro, July 5, 1852. (via aishawarma)

Swimming caps for natural black hair ruled out of Olympic Games

International Swimming Federation rejects use of Soul Cap, saying it does not ‘fit the natural form of the head’

Swimming caps designed for natural black hair created by a black-owned brand will not be allowed at the Olympics.

The hats, made by Soul Cap, which previously partnered with Alice Dearing, who last week qualified to become the first black female swimmer to represent Team GB at the Olympics, have been rejected by the International Swimming Federation (Fina).

The body said the caps did not fit “the natural form of the head” and to their “best knowledge the athletes competing at the international events never used, neither require … caps of such size and configuration”.

Nah they’re really doing to much now. The Olympics are deliberately targeting black women….

"If you grew up in a family with a certain amount of dysfunction, and a certain amount of non-relating, and you had to accommodate other people's emotional needs, other people's dysfunction, their mental illness, their addictions, in a way, to get a minimal level of your emotional needs met, or having a relationship required denying certain parts of yourself just to get to a place of engaging with a loved one or family member. Chances are you took this style [...] of being overly focused on others and are unable to stay grounded and true to your own experience of a Self."
