Pet Peeves #17

I dislike people who are extremely ignorant and oblivious to the amount of anger they can create when they say something hurtful or dumb. Like. Wtf. If you know that what you're going to say is going to hurt someone around you, just don't say it at all. Let me just say, your racist comment to all of us was simply unacceptable. Especially when you knew almost half of us were deeply affected by it. You're the same race as us and you're saying all this shit just to make others look better. Your comment is not necessary. I thought you would know better. Please and thank you.

Uh. Benjamin Franklin was not one of our presidents. PLEASE GET IT RIGHT. Y'all be throwing $100 bills in the air screaming "THIS IS WHY HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENT". NO SHUT THE HELL UP.

the amount of "bare with me" i've seen on aff is too damn high. i've even started questioning myself if it's "bare with me" or "bear with me". 

for all writers out there, it's "bear with me". you don't invite someone to undress with you, do you?

I hate Skyping and being able to hear myself. It overpowers what the other person is saying and it comes out choppy. It's so irritating. .__. Crap.

So I'm halfway through this fic and it's really good and they just mentioned Doctor Who, but they spelled it Dr. Who and now I want to claw my face off.

Just thought I'd share.

This culture bashing has to stop.

Tumblr niggas stay pressed over white people activities. 

Niggas aren't the only people who use brushes. 

We aren't the only culture who has ties to dread locs nor do we have a monopoly on it. 

Y'all teleport on a white persons neck when they have anything to say about dreads. Completely unaware that historically Germanic & Scandinavian people also styled their hair in dread. Gauls, Celts & Vikings. 

& don't give me that "oh that was thousands of years ago". Well when was the last time you visited your dread wearing ancestral lands? 

Not to mention the hippie culture that sprung up in the 60's. No it wasn't all white people but you can not deny they had a major part in it. 

We pretend every nigga with dreads are doing to be in touch with culture. Nah I can go to the eastside now & pick at random the first long tee wearing nigga I see & ask why he has dread. The answer will probably have something to do with getting bitches.  

Don't get me wrong, I'll be the first to correct a Caucasian when they start talking out the side of their neck, but you niggas are so stuck on protecting black culture (not that there's anything wrong with that) that you will willingly ignore other cultures. Yea yea white people are the devil blah blah but if you don't learn about them you will eventually make the same mistakes. 

I'm a advocate for mutual respect & I don't see the point of slamming everyone who has their facts wrong. They may just not know or was taught wrong. We all know how easily white people can get their facts wrong. Instead of being internet assassins knocking heads off why don't you educate those ignorant of us. 

But the next white person that has anything off the wall to say have your Gif files & cap locks ready. Just do the same to the next Ankh nigga or Tumblr black panther that also has their shit wrong.
