Damn this hit me hard , I needed this talk as a little girl. s/o to her mom for destroying the self hate in such a great way

[psychedelicfelon]

This shit almost made me cry lol

[thegoodmaniac]

Love this

[kxnyew-deactivated20150523]

You know I always think about how I’m gonna address this problem with my kids especially my daughters. I know if someone sat me down and told me things like that at that age it would had spared me so much trouble. The way she handled it was perfect especially because its not the easiest talk to have. I love this ❤

[theblackamericanprincess-blog]

Crying cuz it’s unbelievable we have to tell our kids this and at such a young age they are perceptive of anti-Blackness

[prepfordwife]

I’ve reblogged this before and I will probably continue to reblog it every time I see it. This woman is such a good mommy. Not only did she explain to her daughter in clear and digestible way why she was beautiful and worthy but she smashed down the tantrum without talking over her daughter. She gave her the opportunity to speak in a way that made her feel respected and responded in kind. Her daughter left this conversation with her self esteem intact and a whole new take on how she feels about her skin. Good job, mommy.

Jesus Christ, I teared up. What an amazing mother, she even got her to realize her friend was brown and beautiful too.

[visualdelinquent-deactivated202]

it hits home how hard we have to work for our little girls to know they're’re beautiful because the media doesn't do it for us, visual representation is everything. paint every cartoon black, every princess black if you have to, let them know they’re amazing and important.

White people don’t go through this, and they think racism, the whole system, is something you can just get over. “Oh don’t hate white ppl that’s bad” but bitch my daughter hates herself because of you fuck outta here

[kokokitty]

That tweet doesn’t do it justice

Look at this picture

Look at the weapon

Look at the hand reaching for it

Look at the cop

Look at how there’s only 1 cop in the shot

Look at the nonchalant atmosphere

Now think of the countless black women and black men who are dead for the very thought of them having a weapon

Think of Tamir Rice getting shot 2 seconds after police entered the scene when all he had was a BB gun

Think of the peaceful unarmed protests that ended in tear gas, military equipment, and riot gear.

Think of unarmed black men and women getting shot with over 100 rounds for being a threat.

Think of Fred Hampton dying while he slept, FBI fabricating a shootout.

Think of Dubose getting shot once in the head, a report already filed and backed up that he tried to run police over before his death was investigated.

And then take a look at this. A white man clearly reaching for his gun directly in front of an officer. A man who will get to go home to his family. A man who won’t become a hashtag. A man who won’t even face charges.

This is Amerikkka.

10/10 THIS

[galakticbabe]

I actually adore her because I’ve NEVER seen a black person get to be so fucking frank and honest about racial injustice on tv.

She’s real, she’s smart, she’s witty, she’s informed and she’s fucking unapologetic. I’m obsessed.
