“In the light of what Black women often willingly sacrifice for our children and our men, this is a much-needed exhortation, no matter what illegitimate use the white media makes of it. This call for self-value and self-love is quite different from narcissism. Narcissism comes not out of self-love but out of self-hatred.”

wow, the analysis of narcissism…just wow!

I be the brave one to say what we’re all thinking:
write a fanfic on this please.
The government does not care about minorities and poor folk.
I understand why you’d caption it like that, but this is specifically about indigenous Americans and how the US treats them.
The US hates other minorities and poor folk, but please don’t take attention from this.
All those other people have a chance at being treated. But people on the reservations… don’t. They were literally given body bags.
Here’s the Navajo and Hopi relief fund on gofundme
You can also donate through here if you’d like to avoid supporting gofundme.
Here is the official Navajo Nation relief fund, posted by their President on twitter (link to tweet).
Oh, also, many of them don’t have running water (and never have). Link
say it again. This is genocide

Before getting into K-pop as a black girl, I wish I knew that it was going to be frustrating sometimes.There are the people of your race that think you are weird for liking Asian music. They think you should listen to only hip hop and rap. But not the Korean kind, the kind like J.Cole and Young Thug. People shame your taste in music because it is not their preference or in English. If the music is good, why should I i care what language it is in? There are people in general that think because of this, you want to be Asian. That isn’t the case. I want to be black and embrace it. I love being black. In my case, I never even paid attention to South Korea before discovering K-pop. When I finally stumbled across Got 7, I feel like I discovered a whole new language and culture that I was never exposed to. (I hope this doesn’t sound disrespectful?) I became super interested in their pop culture and the Korean language and I wanted to learn it. Isn’t that normal? I wish I knew that some of my favorite celebs were problematic when it comes to touchy subjects such as blackface and culture appropriation. Its hard because I don’t know If i should still love them or drop them, even if it is normal Korean citizens. Non black k-pop fans telling us that we are being too dramatic or they excuse their faves’ actions because they are ignorant of other cultures and ethnicities that isn’t their own. Yes, this can be the case for a lot of koreans but a lot of them also know what they are doing when it comes to these things. It doesn’t affect non-black K-pop fans personally so they let it slide. This is the most frustrating part of it all. It hurts but I stick with it because its all about the music anyways.
Kpop twitter is so fucking toxic. Shit I’m tired of it.
