People getting mad at Sean Paul for saying Drake doesnât understand dancehall is ironicâŠ.
Caribbean people not being here for Drake or Bieber or Tory Lanez copying dancehall music isnât hateâŠ.
âIt is a sore point when people like Drake or Bieber or other artists come and do dancehall orientated music but donât credit where dancehall came from and they donât necessarily understand it,â he said. âA lot of people get upset, they get sour. And I know artists back in Jamaica that donât like Major Lazer because they think they do the same thing that Drake and Kanye didâthey take and take and donât credit.â - Sean Paul
I hope they donât start doing this with African music especially the west.
tory lanez is carribean though...

Thatâs what happens when you have babies at 15.
white people donât usually start having babies until they are in their late 20s or early 30s. Thatâs why most of the time they look older.

I love every single person who reblogged this
I donât think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I donât think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.
It may just be me, I donât know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someoneâs blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. Thatâs one more person who cares. Thatâs one more person who doesnât hate me.
Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that Iâm a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because Iâm tired of people who wonât sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they donât want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because Iâm scared that theyâll say something thatâll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows whatâs going to happen to me now.
It means so much because Iâve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least Iâve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that Iâm a person too. That people like me are just that, people.
Maybe itâs just me, I donât know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that Iâm human when so many people donât.
Me, an African: âMy parents gave me an African nameâ
Ankhs: âUhhmmm donât you mean your parents gave you a Liberian name from the Krahn and Mano people? Sheesh, Africa is a continent, not a country.â
Me: *stares into the camera like Iâm on The Office*
The opposite with me is why did my Liberian parents give me a french name.
Whatâs your name? I know there are some French-speaking Liberians.
Itâs Monique, but like ankhs really expect my name to be sound hella African.
this hit me like a bus
Iâll reblog it till my fingers bleed
I never realized how much I needed to see something like this until I just found it. Reblog til the end of my days
I love twitter. It helps Black girls to embrace their beauty and specialness. We always slay white media games!

"What happens when a government basically green-lights your most primitive, fucked up xenophobia?" asked the author Junot Diaz, a Dominican-American.
At any other time, the marquee names would have been talking about literature. Junot Diaz, hands-down the most critically acclaimed Dominican-American author, sharing a table with Edwidge Danticat, the most critically acclaimed Haitian-American author.
But they were not here to talk about books. They were here to speak out against the impending refugee crisis that has reached a fever pitch on the island where they were both born.
âThere is a state of terror in the Dominican Republic,â Diaz told an overflowing crowd of attendees gathered in Miamiâs Little Haiti neighborhood at a panel hosted by Miami Workers Center, a local activist group.
All last week, Diaz explained, he was in Santo Domingo, where he witnessed the beginning of the Dominican governmentâs implementation of a policy that could potentially deport hundreds of thousands of Dominicans of Haitian heritage across the border, to a country they have never known.
A court ruling from 2013 retroactively stripped Haitian-Dominicans, among other immigrant groups, of their citizenship dating back to 1929, if they canât prove they have at least one parent with âDominican blood.â In effect, the ruling has left four generations of Haitian-Dominicans stateless, by claiming the families were âin transitâ all those years. The deadline for Haitian-Dominicans to submit paperwork to remain in the country legally was last Wednesday. Only about 300 got their papers in time, reported the Associated Press.
The government has lined up and paraded a dozen buses that will be used for the deportations. Seven ârepatriation centers,â which have been likened to concentration camps for Haitians, have been set up on the border. Instead of risking run-ins with the authorities, reportedly thousands of families have begun self-deportations, bringing themselves across the border to Haiti.
âThe last time something like this happened was Nazi Germany, and yet people are like, shrugging about it,â Diaz told Fusion of the international communityâs silence on the matter. âThink about how much fear you would have to feel for you to suddenly pick the fuck up and flee.â
Both authors made calls for travelers to think twice about visiting the Dominican Republic, write letters to embassies and politicians in Washington, and to protest Dominican officials when they make regular appearances in the U.S.
During an impassioned speech to attendees, Diaz railed against the Dominican national leadership and the âeliteâ Dominican media he says has been instrumental in fanning the flames of anti-Haitian sentiment in the name of ultranationalism and power. Together, they have âcontorted the conversation and made every single statement against them seem like rabid, traitorous speech,â he said.
The two nations have a long, troubled history. The Dominican Republic celebrates its independence not from a European nation, but from its neighbor, which occupied the entire island of Quisqueya for much of the mid 1800s. Several wars have flared between the nations since then, with a low-point coming in the mid-1900s, during the rule of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, whose official policy was a strain of racially-fueled âanti-haitianismoâ that is still prevalent today. Under his rule, between 20,000 and 30,000 Haitians were massacred near the countriesâ shared border in a single event.
Danticat, who recalled that period in her early novel The Farming of Bones, says that today is different.
âI think of that period as a historical scar, but we canât let that overshadow the moment weâre living, which is potentially as tragic,â she told Fusion. âThe worst case scenario is having the largest, mass movement of a body of people this hemisphere has seen⊠Itâs a humanitarian crisis ready to happen.â
Friends in both countries have recounted stories to her about the current situation. âA lot of people are in hiding [in the Dominican Republic]. A lot of people are afraid to go out since the deadline has past,â she said.
Apart from the threat of government deportations, Haitian-Dominicans are being threatened even from within their communities. During the buildup toward the deadline, a Haitian man was found lynched, she noted. âWeâve had several incidents where communities have been stirred, with people trying to force them out,â said Danticat. âWhat you have with this decision and the bruhaha about it, is that it opens the door to citizen vigilantes.â
Please donât vacation in D.R. This is what youâre financing.
I would be terrified
Can we confirm the safety and survival of the person who took this video?

WHAT IS GOING ON???
@bigyerchy
But like why though
Wow. A naked light skin girl with curly hair photographed by a man whose profession is photographer of naked light skin girls with curly hair. My eyes are so pleased by this image. So amazing. So innovative. Fresh. Creative. He is a photographer and not a pervert with a camera. This is art. Dope visuals.
Wow. A painting of a naked thin light skin girl in a head wrap with several ankhs on her body, painted by someone whoâs profession is painting naked light skin girls with ankhs on them. I feel truly awake now and connected to my people. She make me feel beautiful. I am every woman. I am inspired to eat incense flavored kale. These pieces will change the black community as we know it. BLM.Â
