Voguing is the same thing as, like, taking two knives and cutting each other up, but through a dance form. Voguing came from shade, because it was a dance that two people did because they didn’t like each other. Instead of fighting, you would dance it out on the dance floor, and whoever did the better moves was throwing the best shade, basically.

The name was taken from the magazine “Vogue”, because some of the movements of the dance are also the same as the poses inside the magazine. The name is a statement in itself. I mean, you really wouldn’t go to a ball to do the “Mademoiselle”. No way.

Like break dancing, the dance takes from the hieroglyphics of Ancient Egypt. It also takes from some forms of gymnastics. They both strive for perfect lines in the body, awkward positions, but it goes one step further. 

It’s starting to make a name for itself, but I want it to be known worldwide, and I wanna be on top of it when it hits.

Bob and a few other queens got REAL about racism.

[cloudfreed]

This is true. This is the way sociologists talk about racial dynamics.

The truth is, even the best, least racist white person ever still has racial bias. It’s deeply ingrained in our psyches through socialization because white people control most institutions. Our racist society teaches us to be racist. Even the least racist white person in the world catches themself sometimes thinking or saying something racist as a reflex. It’s frightening how deeply we are affected by sources of socialization actually.

Everything around us favors white people. We grow up experiencing a lot of representation of white people and very little representation of people of color. Look at television, look at advertising, look at any form of media. Why are there so many white people being represented? Because white people control the institutions that produce media.

White people, this is your legacy. This is the ruination your demonic actions have left behind. This is what your privilege is built upon.

It’s heartbreaking that in a day meant to uplift our humanity and the value of our lives, someone stole Ashanti Carmon’s There aren’t a lot of details yet, but I will update as they are released.
