That’s how we feel about our hair

Unfortunately, people have a problem with a black women’s hair no matter what they do with it. Whether it is relaxed, natural or weaved up, it’s always an issue. 

It is our personal space, so please ask before touching somebody’s hair! And worry about your own hair and focus on growing them edges back… Because this is not a petting zoo!

If this doesn’t open up your eyes and show you that our government cares more about corporate agendas than the people in this country, I don’t know what will. #Hate it!

Shilo Murphy explains how being a white man enables him to navigate a world that’s not being targeted by police.

This is a confession of a white guy who saw and felt white privilege himself and who just couldn’t keep silent. He decided to speak up and show everybody how it feels to be white and male in the US.

Shilo Murphy has has a lot of run-ins with the police, but he’s never been arrested. 

The system is mainly fueled by the mass media that pathologizing Black and Latinx people until trapping them in cages is normalized in the nation’s consciousness.

Denying racial oppression is just not seeing reality in the eyes.

I went to an Arab-American comedy night and there was a Muslim guy making a joke about being in high school football.

“I was hit so hard, I saw Jesus. Do you know how hard you have to be hit to see somebody else’s god?”

This is what jokes about religion are supposed to look like.

He still showed up ‘cause he knows he has to work twice as hard to be (considered) half as good. People need to realize this happens all of the time, every day, not just in the news. He’s lucky to be alive. I hope mom sues the crap out of them!

Please, help me raise awareness of the systematic racism. This must STOP.

I think that if the female body wasn’t so censored on tv and taught to children as being something highly inappropriate, we could easily grow into a society that doesn’t sexualize every body part and scrutinize women for showing some thigh,cleavage or nipple …because it would finally be viewed as what it is- natural
