[lucky-lez]

Never send hate. Never.

It’d really suck if I got ice or water-themed superpowers. I’d have to wear blue and white and gray instead of the reds and oranges I prefer.

[semoka]

wear the reds and oranges and pull an iceland/greenland on em

“I have cornered you in this aquarium, where your fire powers are useless!”

“Fire powers? Dude, I’m an ice hero. I freeze shit and manipulate water. Also, I love aquariums. Thanks for the free entry!”

“But… you’re dressed like Guy Fieri…?”

“Yeah haha. I have an autumnal complexion.”

[derpomatic]

Also, no superhero should have a name that gives away the power set. Misdirection - “Get him, Lasereye!” “Haha, my mirror will deflect your, wait, why are you made of stone now?”

They call him laser eye because he once blinded himself with a laser pointer and it was the funniest shit they’d ever seen

I just left a plantation tour in Louisiana. I have a lot to say…

[purplechocolatekisses]

SAY IT!

[kimreesesdaughter]

I honestly thought I knew everything about slavery. Not so.

The owner of this particular plantation had it built by slaves for 3 years. Every brick was handmade. Over 120,000 bricks on 2,000+ acres of land (this place was huge.) The clay used for the bricks came from the Mississippi River. The majority of the slaves are buried under the Levees and water. Some are buried with their Masters. Not allowed to live with them but could be dead with them.

Before you enter the house, there’s a list of slaves who lived here including their age and how much they were purchased for. 124 total. Some slaves were worth as little as $25. As young as 5 years old.

On this particular plantation, the owner was big on punishment…he used noise making neck restraints. Imagine three 4lb balls around your neck with bells inside. Children were restrained by ankle locks that connected between their ankles.

This was a sugar cane plantation, one the worst practices to involve slaves because of its danger. A lot of slaves were decapitated, amputees and killed from the fields and machinery. A lot of kids lost their lives creating sugar. Speaking of children, a child stood in the living room and operated the fan with a string while guests ate dinner. As young as 3 years old.

Here’s what shook me even further: Before the Civil War, a lot of slave owners were going in debt and could not afford their properties and were not producing enough cotton and sugar to maintain their lifestyles. Slaves were used as HUMAN CREDIT CARDS. Slaves were a guaranteed line of credit. You could get HALF of your property’s value depending on how many healthy and able slaves you owned.

My people were human credit cards and lines of credit to BANKS. We were property. We were labeled as equipment and nothing more.

There is no such thing as a good slave owner. They owned my PEOPLE and used them as checks and balances. This cycle continues with prison and brutality. I do not want to hear shit about “Why can only Black people say this or that?” I don’t want to hear shit about “we’re all human.”

And by the way, not one of those slaves are at rest. Those spirits were so alive, you could feel their presence, their pain and someday, their revenge.

The front of the house and yard. This plantation was huge. Just thinking about my ancestors tending to all this land…

SOME of the enslaved names, ages, race and purchase price.

The living room.

Interior.

The dining room. That piece hanging above the table is ORIGINAL to the house. That’s the fan that a slave as young as 3 years old had to operate manually with a string.

The view from the balcony in the main hallway. This is how they looked over the slaves while they worked in the yard.

*sigh* Names of the enslaved that occupied the shacks. Children included. Their names are written inside one of the shacks. I’m not sure if there are other names inside other shacks because I could only handle 2. After I saw the punishment equipment, I left.

Slave Shacks. These are NOT the original shacks. These were built to imitate them.

Slaves for Sale Ads.

The landscape of Slavery throughout the United States in 1860. JUST 1860. Let that sink in.

Note: The last time the home was OWNED by a Louisiana citizen was 1972. This is her original bedroom, her lipstick is STILL on the dresser. This is why the house has been updated since slavery times because it was occupied up until 1972. Regardless, this used to be where house slaves slept.

This really fuckin happened, don’t let white people tell you that it’s in the past & to let it go.

[im-a-deceptikhan]

There’s so much evil ass energy coming off these pictures especially the ones of the house my heart hurts

[tampatweet]

They use this as a form of empowerment, as a constant reminder of how things were and how they WISH things are today.  I don’t support “plantation” tours.

That quote. Shit. That was strong

[okayilubuhbye-deactivated201611]

I need us Africans to realize this. The term akata is still used in a derogatory manner. You don’t take people who were stolen and were once your neighbors and deem them inferior and unlike you.

Don’t reblog if you’re white

Now that I’ve gotten your attention. I’m not saying not to reply or reblog if you’re white personally I don’t care for my blog.

However,

There are certain blogs in the Black Panther fandom doing this lately and I’ve seen some white people complaining about it so I wanted to say something.

My personal blog is open to any race, sex, gender, etc. As long as you’re not a Republican I don’t give a fuck. But, I do wanna say something.

If you are a non poc and are upset about being excluded from certain black panther blogs, fanfics, imagines, etc SHUT THE FUCK UP.

I fucking mean it. Don’t breathe a word. I don’t care. There are plenty of other blogs that don’t mind white people interacting with them (like mine) concerning Black Panther so go find them. Do not bug the people that don’t want you around.

And before you get it twisted this is not about reverse racism.

This is about POC and WOC being excluded from everything. This is about reader inserts with blue green eyes & straight blonde hair. This is about gif sets with girls with white skin. This is about fucking creating a safe place for people of color.

This is the same to lgbtq + creating gay bars to escape the straights. This is the same to having an only women Wonder Woman screening at the movies. This is about creating something by us for us and wanting a safe place to talk about it with other people who look like us.

But of course when white people are excluded they feel oppressed and suddenly it’s an issue shut the fuck up.

So non poc, if you come across a no whites allowed Black Panther blog fucking leave. Don’t complain or message them. Everything in the media is creating by and for you. Let us fucking have this one thing! Jordan Peele was the first black man to win an Oscar for best screenplay in 90 fucking years. You have enough leave us alone and let us enjoy our self created art.
