Museum security guard 1: Wait, did you hear something?
Museum security guard 2: Yeah, I think it came from the gift shop.
Me, who broke into the museum and had already stolen dozens of priceless artifacts but decided to stop by the gift shop to score a snow globe:
This is oddly specific.
This wonāt make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? Itās in every pregnancy book Iāve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
population control^
For example Frederick Douglasā wife did so much for his ungrateful ass. She helped him get on his feet, gave him her last name, and supported him financially and took care of house and home. And in return was does this nigga do? He lets white abolitionists tear her down and treat her like a slave in HER HOUSE. Moved two bitches into HER HOUSE over a span of 20 years. Belittles her for being illiterate while using HER MONEY. Not even in death does she get the respect she deserves. His last wife is more recognized as being apart of his life than she was. Just trash. And y'all still normalize that shit as if itās a black womanās job to struggle. Fuck that.
Fuck Frederick Douglas.
That negro was a massive hypocrite. How the fuck you wanna abolish slavery and support womenās rights, then treat your own wife like shit?????????????????
^^^^ history left her out of his story too. Claiming his parents have him money to start up when it was her.
Donāt forget MLK and Malcolm X
My heart broke a little but Iām not surprised. What did Malcolm do ?
I donāt know about Malcolm X, but I know that Martin Luther King was in love with a white caferteria lady name Betty that he was seeing while he was attending college. The only reason why he married Coretta and not the cafeteria worker is because his dad frowned upon it. Not only that but his best friend Ralph Abernathy and Jackie Onassis exposed him for being a sex craved phony that loved cheating on Coretta. I guarantee that if black women from the civil rights era could talk now, our heads would explode.Ā
I mean if weāre gonna spill tea

Our community has always treated us like shit no matter what. Not to mention MissĀ Claudette Colvin who was the actually pioneer of the Civil Rights Movement. She was arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus 9 months before Rosa but she was a dark skinned single mother so she wasnāt good enough.Ā
Letās not forget Black Pantherās leader EldridgeĀ Cleaver and his famous bookĀ āSoul On Iceā where he recounts how he practiced raping black women because he knew no one would care and when he āmastered his craftā he starting raping white women. Also letās never forget that he said that there is no more love left between black women and men and that everytime he embraces a black woman, he embraces slavery. Yāall gonā get this history lesson today!
Wowā¦ and somehow Iām not even surprised.
I knew all of that. Martin was constantly cheating with white prostitutes even a German exchange student while protesting civil right. Cleaver was the worst. Preying on and raping young black girls in the hood as practice for raping white women. Claudette is still referenced as āthe other rosa parksā when the light bright brigade āNAACPā werenāt gonna let her share her story to begin with.
Let this post never die. Black women were NEVER respected back in the day, and weāre STILL getting disrespected every minute.
Wowā¦.
[reasons why I think most Black dudes r performative when it comes to being *proBlack* n only know how to mirror yt ally theater/chase yt validation. n nonBlack ppl better back the fuck off this post and start combatting the antiBlackness before they even think of comment.]
Just a reminder that Claudette Colvin didnāt get pregnant until 3 months after refusing her seat on the bus. She was a poor dark skinned girl. In her words āthey wanted someone PEOPLE would sympathize with and I didnāt look like that.ā Colorism AND Classism waaaay before Instagram š
Bruh I learned all of this and more in my civil rights history class last semester. My professor actually got her doctorate in black women in the black power movement. Even though two black men from California started the radical group as we know it, black women did most of the work and kept the group afloat. By the 80s it was largely female led. Also, elderidge cleaver wrote an essay after getting out of prison where he recanted everything he said in soul on ice and this was largely due to the fact that women were running the bpp and told him he couldnāt join if he was to co tibie to perpetuate this rape nonsense.
Also also claudette Colvin wasnāt the only one who was forgotten during the Montgomery bus boycott. Do y'all know who Jo Ann Robinson is? Home girl was the backbone to the whole movement tbh. Yeah rosa (a trained activist btw) was the igniting flame and yes in her documents and Jo Annās Claudette was credited as the inspiration, but jo Ann really kept the movement running. She organized car pools for all the black folks in Montgomery. Y'all the Montgomery bus boycott lasted for a year! People still had to get to work and shit. Jo Ann was on it! Plus she had a whole committee that was pushing for regulation changes and the end of segregation in busing. And hell, Montgomery buses were damn near reliant on black commuters so they eventually had to give.
Plus my all time fave is the homie Ella baker. Home girl ensured the founding of sncc when fuckboy Mlk tried to make them the youth chapter of the sclc. SNCC is the group that made sit ins a popular form of protest during the early civil rights movement. They founding students had their first sit in in 1960. Ella baker was like these students need their own separate movement and the sclc aināt it. Plus she was a true proponent of self determination which was clear in everything that sncc did.
Basically what Iām trying to say is black women been the backbone of society and they still are.
Letās also talk about how Huey P Newton, the founder of the BPP ordered the severe beating of Regina Davis. Regina Davis was an administrator at a BP school and was literally jumped for reprimanding a male BP member. She was beaten so bad that she was in the hospital for a broken jaw and had to flee to LA for her own safety. Her attack was a deliberate message to all female BP because the men were getting Ā upset with the increasing power black women had in the party and wanted to put them in their place.
In 1974 Huey P Newton also shot and killed a 17 year old sex worker in Oakland named Kathleen Smith in the face for calling himĀ ābabyā and because she didnāt give him theĀ ārespectā he wanted (x)Ā
and who could forget good olā Harry Belafonte and how he treated Ertha Kitt way back whenĀ
Ellen Holly was a super light skin soap opera actress who claimed to have a similar experience with Harry Belafonte before he married a white woman and called him out in her autobiography about his behavior towards black women
THIS IS WHY WHEN PATRICIA ARQUETTE SAID WOMEN HAVE HAD TO TAKE A BACKSEAT TO OTHER GROUPĀ“S PROGRESS SHE WAS RIGHT!Ā
BUT YāALL WERE SO UPSET WITH HER
That white woman aināt got nothing to do with this. Weāre talking about black womenās treatment here.
How dare you bring Patricia Arquettes white feminist ass on a post about the treatment of Black Women
That was a much needed thread. Reminds me of the first time I discovered Tumblr and learned so much about feminism and womenās history. To add my 2 cents to this, I put the pictures of most of the ladies mentioned above (I couldnāt find a picture of Regina Davis, if you have one thatād be great), so that anyone discovering these wonderful women can put a face to their name.Ā
unfortunately there are no known or publicly available pictures of Regina Davis or Kathleen Smith
Keep this thread going and share the stories of how Black women have been degraded by black mens sexismĀ
Just to add some more, letās not forget the importance of Shirley Chisholm. She was an unapologetic black feminist who fought for the rights of women and the poor in her community. Ā She was a founding member of both the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Womenās Caucus.Ā
She was the first black women ever elected to the US congress and was the first woman and black american to ever run for the president of the US. Her campaign to be the democratic nominee was treated like a joke, and although she had the support of her loyal husband she received NO SUPPORT Ā from black male leaders. Her campaign went underfunded and the men of the black caucus rallied around white male candidates instead because they were pissed off that she was getting attention and wanted a black male candidate instead.
āThey think I am trying to take power from them. The black man must step forward, but that doesnāt mean the black woman must step back.ā(x)
Donāt let this thread die! Keep commenting and bringing to light the stories of black women. Just adding more about the black panthers, a lot of people donāt realize that black panther chapters spread across the world to unite black and dark skinned people.Ā
In 1972 Dennis Walker, a black aboriginal Australian cofounded the Australian Black Panther Party (ABPP).
As always black women made up the back bone of the movement, organizing, protesting, and working in the ABPP schools/medical centers. Marlene Cummins, one of the first black women leaders in the movement recently spoke about about the abuse she and other women endured. Marlene and Dennis dated for some time and she has admitted that he was verbally abusive, violent, and cheated on her with white women. She once saw him smash a broken bottle onto a womenās face, which eventually led to their breakup.
She also revealed that she was raped by two indigenous leaders at the time (one aboriginal and the other torres strait islander) which was recorded on tape.
āThere were men who are immortalized in history as heroes. Some of them are and some of them arenāt. [Some of them] are not heroes. They were rapists and perpetrators.ā
āThere were no support systems and womenās refuges werenāt as prevalent as they were today. Womenās rights were not voicedā¦[So can you imagine] what it was like for young girls with no support networks in those days, when those things ā rapes by uncles ā were not spoken of. How can you deal with that?
āā¦Even if you did report a crime, you were questioned whether it happened to you because you contributed to it: you asked for it!ā
Iāve see a lot of people leaving comments asking for more information/resources to look into these women. A bit a googling will bring you plenty of reliable resources.
Marlene has a documentary out which can be seen here for free (x). I would also suggest reading this books by black panther women (x), (x), (x), (x) and this book that actually details the work some black men such as Fred Hampton did to address misogyny in the movement.Ā
Thank God for Black women. As Black men, we need to do better. We must respect our womenās role in the resistance and revere them for everything they have and continue to do.
I second @blaquerenaissance
Honestly @blaquerenaissance respect and reverence is nice but what we need is for Black men who do care about Black women to challenge the ones who donāt so that something like this thread never happens again. For every Black man who thought it was socially acceptable to treat Black women like dogs, I promise you there were at least 3 other Black men who stood by and did nothing, said nothing, or encouraged them. Respect and reverence from 25% of y'all isnāt going to do anything if the other 75% still think Black Women are toys that they can discard when we are no longer useful to them. And since we know that Black men as a whole donāt listen when Black women are talking, itās up to Black men to speak up when they see something
I am so sick of coming on social media seeing some of these so-called negro conscious women who hate African men continue to use less than 10% of the populations as an excuse to make a blanket statement about all African men they act just like white women with their generalities we have enough to be fighting against that you should not be using your Consciousness to be fighting in the house. As long as you are not dating outside of your race donāt worry about other people period every one of these b****** probably donāt even have a man. I am just so thankful for the true conscious sisters who have no time for this petty feminists s*** they sent us in the sixties that these negro Christian girls are still falling for in 2018. This one sister in Hollywood years ago use the example of two or three men in Hollywood when she had a whole country to pick from but she chose a white man and the reason she did that is because of some high yellow n**** Harry Belafonte
1. If you are tired of social media, delete your account. I swear no one will miss you.
2. Iām going to assume reading is not your strong suit because this post highlights the struggle Black women went through while simultaneously carrying the plight of Black liberation on their backs but somehow your remedial comprehension level gathered this as an assault against āAfrican menā.
3. If calling out rapists, hypocrisy, and abusers is what divides the Black community, in your eyes, youāre a coward looking for an excuse to justify your refusal to hold men accountable who deserve to be held accountable. You read a post where Eldridge clever wrote a book about raping Black women for practice and your bitch ass response isā¦ ā As long as they donāt date outside their raceā. Again reading is not your gift because he literally says he started with Black girls because nobody cares about them but his goal was to rape white women. (To clarify*** rape does not = dating)But of course the other examples stated in this post of Black men chasing white women while abusing Black women who were on the front lines of revolution went right over your head.
4. Yes coward is the right word for you because anyone who reads about rape, abuse, and the worship of whiteness and has the nerve to type a dissertation how much this makes you mad at Black women??? Congratulations you have chosen the side of your oppressor. You choose to want to silence those who shed light on rapists and abusers in our history, so that these issues can be expunged from the Black community (news flash dumbass, this problem still exist,not just in the 60s as you mentioned). Rather your solution to keeping the Black community together is for Black women to be quiet and allow safe space for rapist to thrive. Coward.
5. Since when is it feminist to tell the truth?
6. Too many are comfortable ignoring the truth. The truth is our heroes had flaws. And those flaws is what is breaking up the Black community. Not Black womenās calls for accountability.
7. And my last point. Youāre weak and aint cut out for this if truth makes you want to bury your head in the sand and fall in line with global white supremacy and choose to berate black women. Again, delete your account. Consider it a contribution to the struggle for Black liberation by removing yourself from the equation all together. You are a pimple in the path to progress and your hatred for Black women, Black history and the truth are clear signs of your ignorance that has no use to Black people. It only aids and affirms white supremacy which makes you an enemy to those seeking liberation.
Honestly this why I didnt support that Nat Turner movie or the guy who made it. You cant claim to want black rights if you plan screw over black women to get it.
the nonsense beinā made in these posts is why i hate feminists.K
These are all facts you brainless morron
He hates feminists because of past facts?Ā Ok then.
He hate blk feminism for pointing out facts abt these men that r suppose to b held n high asteem
This post
I am still reading this post. Damn
This thread! š„š„š„
Hereās some evidence to that whole Elderidge Cleaver thing. This man was bold with his hatred for black women, and somehow this book is getting praised by critics for its ārawnessā?

SPACE LESBIANS GONNA COLONISE MARS, MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL SAPPHIC UTOPIA <3
its actualy really fascinating, the reason they are considering making the mission to mars all female ACTUALLY doesnt have to do with āimpure sexual thoughtsā or anyhing it has to do with a multitude of factors, for example (cis) women astronauts tend to be smaller and require less food, nasa also did a series of studies showing that in groups, all woman groups showed better cooperation and teamwork than mixed or all men groups, and also probably the most interesting reason is that (cis) mens eyesight is damaged in space travel for reasons we dont even understand yet, for some strange reason the vast majority of men who have been into space have suffered damage to their eyesight and yet almost no women have had this issue, and scientists are still trying to figure out why but in the meantime sending men into space for long periods of time is a huge concern because they may go blind over time ā¦ just thought that that headline was a little reductionist and sensationalist so i had to comment, that being said thoā¦
HELL YEAH SPACE LESBIANS

Instead ofĀ bitchingĀ about the people in theĀ Danish fairy tale are white in the movieĀ Frozen
Why donāt we petition that Kidagahkash Nedakh be turned into an official princess??Ā
I mean, letās talk about Kidagakash, AKA Kida for a minute here.Ā
Sheās got all the makings of a Disney Princess.
1. Sheās royal blood. Sheās the princess of the lost city of Atlantis.Ā
2. She lost her mother when she was baby.Ā
Unlike most Disney Princesses, sheĀ watched her mother as she was taken and essentially killed, along with most of her society.Ā
3. She loses her father, too.
Who is also played byĀ Lenard fucking Nemoy, okay?
But hereās some other, unconventional stuff that makes Kida amazing and a perfect edition to the current line up.Ā
This girl can KICK. ASS.
She doesnāt take being spoken to rudely AT ALL.
When some fuckers try to get the drop on her- they grab herĀ by the hair and yank her out of the water- she doesnāt fuckingĀ take that shit, she kicks several of their fucking asses, until the dagger she holds is eventuallyĀ shot out of her hand.Ā
Kida also is a martyr, accepting her fate, the same one that took her mother.
She does this without question, once the Crystal spoke to her and possessed her. In addition to this, another thing that makes her amazing is that, despite being a total bad-ass, she still needed to be rescued; but it wasĀ at her own choice. SheĀ knew that she was going to be taken, and sheĀ knew that the protagonist and love interest Milo Thatch would save her. She trusted and had faith in him and the others around him, despite the fact that Milo is basically aĀ giant dingus. Which leads me to talk about herĀ prince, so to say, Milo Thatch.Ā
In fact, she is so sure of this, that she even tells him so.
Letās talk about Milo for a minute.Ā
Heās a big part of her, because heĀ isnāt a prince. Heās not pretty, or handsome, or overly masculine, orĀ anything like that. In fact, as far as Disney Love Interests go, heās basically a bottom tier. Heās a beta male and she is the one in charge, butĀ he steps up as her other half, brings her back to her people so that she can save them.Ā
She is also the one who turnsĀ him into royalty by marrying him. In addition to this, she actually becomes Ā queen, which also breaks the Disney trend ofĀ Queens Are Bad.Ā
Kida isĀ beautiful, she is active and faithful. Her parents are notĀ obsticales to overcome [Like Jasmine, Ariel, Marida, Repunzel (technically), Pocahontas, and Cinderella] but rather a fixed point. She is faithful to her father and respects him. She defies him, but only because she feels it is the greater good for herĀ people, not for herself or her personal interests. Kida isĀ incredibly selfless in that regard, and it speaks volumes for being an example toward younger girls.Ā
Sheās also incrediblyĀ non-conventional, what with having magical powers- technically, what with her ability to heal with the crystals that power her people- in addition to having white hair, darker skin, and tattoos. Her outfit isnāt skimpier than, say, Ariel or Jasmine, as some people might have concerns about.Ā
Also, Kida is nearlyĀ nine-thousand years old. No, really. She was an infant when Atlantis was taken into the sea, and Milo mentions specifically that she has to be between 8,200-8,800 years old. This is an interesting dynamic because, obviously, she'sĀ magical and has been kept young for thousands of years; but that also means she has many, many years more to learn.Ā
Kida also uses Thatch, originally, to learn. He can read ancient scriptures and tomes, when her people cannot. Her people are dying, and she needs him to help restore it. SheĀ wants to learn, she knows how valuable something as simple asĀ reading is, and she cherishes Miloās talent in such a thing.Ā
So, STOP bitching about Elsa and Anna fromĀ Frozen, and letās put it out to Disney that Kida fromĀ Atlantis should be a Princess.Ā
Sheās beautiful, sheās strong, sheās a fighter, sheās selfless, she becomes anĀ incredible leader, she has an amazing relationship with her father,Ā she made her love interest a prince and then a king, she is eager to learn, sheās original, sheās faithful, and she fell in love with a man for his smarts, his mettle, his bravery and his own loyalty to her and her people.Ā
Oh, and at the end?
They didnāt kiss.
It is inferred at the end of the movie that after taking the throne and restoring their city, onlyĀ thenĀ do they get married. This isnāt a 3-day love story, people, this isĀ aĀ friendship that became aĀ bond that resulted inĀ marriage.Ā
Kida isĀ incredible, and so is Milo. Atlantis is an underrated movie, and Kida is an under-the-radar princess.Ā
Originally posted by meanwhileongiphy
So much this. My salt levels at the fact that Kida isnāt considered a princess will never decrease.
Wait Kida isnāt considered a real princess?!?! Even Mulan is considered a goddamn princess and she isnāt even royalty.Ā
Sheās a princess to me, always. Long live princess Kida! š
