MORE COLOUR - MORE PRIDE
Bruh this the only decent picture I got at nola pride. Do I look drunk 🥴 or tide 😴? I had fun 😂
i’ve screencaped these posts and made an original post as to not derail the posts in question or come across as calling out anyone in particular, as that is not at all my intention behind this post, but...
i’ve been seeing these flags (and variations of them) floating around both Tumblr and Twitter for over a year now and every time i do, i can’t help but think to myself...
people who are not American and thus would not be familiar with US history aside, do [young] people these days not recognize the symbol on these flags as being a re-purposed Black Power Fist….? do [young] people not know that this fist has been a common symbol of black power specifically since the Black Panther Party popularized it in the 1960′s…? that something that symbolizes power for black people certain ethnic / racial groups is not going to be synonymous with symbolizing power for all people of color because not all people of color are black members of the ethnic / racial groups with a history of rallying behind this symbol…?
has anyone stopped to consider that not all people of color– be they black or not– will feel comfortable with this symbol being used in this way…? that not all people of color will even feel represented by this symbol, because the added brown palette of stripes does not divorce this symbol from its decades of history being used specifically for / by / about black (and brown) people…?
not here to accuse anyone of anything or argue who can and can’t use this symbol; it is not at all my place to do so. i’m just genuinely confused by what seems to be a common trend these days– things that are specific to American black history and / or the black community in America being used blanketly in reference to people of color in general.
edit: but wait, there’s more.
Free to use glitched QPOC flag!
bouta be living my be life in 20gayteen, been self loathing for too long. I’m my number one fan ☝🏿
It took me a few years to accept myself for who I am.
I can now say that I am comfortable in my skin and I comfortable with my sexuality. I am an unapologetic queer person of color 😊
as 2015 comes to an end, it’s time for my annual photo dump. i usually post my annual photo dump elsewhere on the web (i have far too many blogs), but as i was tagged on here by @bi-gray, i figure i’ll post the selfie portion of it on this blog for once. i am going to ignore the rules of the Tumblr meme, though, and post more than 6 photos. i also won’t be tagging anyone because i suck at that. instead, i welcome everyone to take the chance to reflect upon the past year through selfies or photos in general. :)
for me, 2015 was a year of working on my left sleeve (which took 9 months to complete), parking myself in various cafes for hours, doodling random stuff, embracing smartphone photography à la Instagram and continuing to learn more about myself while learning to be proud of who i am.
2015 wasn’t a bad year, i guess. here’s hoping that 2016 will be better.
