there is nothing romantic about

  • not knowing you’re beautiful 
  • loving someone until they learn to love themselves

please stop romanticizing low self esteem.

it’s one thing to love a person who happens to have low self esteem

it’s another thing to frame low self esteem as a desirable trait.

notime4yourshit: The television industry is one of the most segregated industries in America today. There is not a major industry of its size that exists in the world that is as segregated. You can see Black executives at Daimler-Chrysler or American Express, but you would be hard pressed to find more than one or two people in the entertainment world. What frustrates me is that as astute as we claim to be with all of our modern technology moving around, we have forgotten one of the oldest rules articulated by Frederick Douglass: ‘Power gives up nothing without demand.’ Some of the highest paid performers are Black. [White executives] will give you all the money you can hold, but when you ask for power, you get a blank look. Think about that, ‘The thing of value is not the money but the power.’ I’ll tell you what, ‘You give me the power, I’ll make my own money.’ - Tim Reid

Amazing 9 year old Asean Johnson brings the crowd to their feet at Chicago school closings rally

Asean (ah-Shawn) goes to Marcus Garvey Elementary School, slated for closure by the Chicago Public School administration, an un-elected board who’s members are appointed by Mayor Rahm Elmanuel, former Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama

More Info On School Closings Protests Here

===

Daaaamn. Watch this 9-yr old student stand up and spit hot fire at a mass rally against the Chicago Mayor and Public School administration who are trying to close his and dozens of other schools in mostly non-white neighborhoods.

The future of social justice activism.

Crying. Black and brown children shouldn’t have to grow up so fast. This kid is absolutely amazing, but I wish we lived in a world where he could just play with his friends, hang out with his family or spend time worrying about if that girl down the street has a crush on him, instead of having to take on the responsibility of advocating for himself and other black, brown and low income childrens’ education. POC kids can never just be kids, man. 

Bolded that last sentence for the cot damn truth.

Wow. So proud.This is awesome and sad just like the above comment sad.

We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements.

thispleasesmorbo: strugglingtobeheard: chronicallyqueer: blooming-white-tea: odinsblog: A Bronx bus company is offering tours billed as a “a ride through a real New York City ‘GHETTO,’” the New York Post reports. The company, Real Bronx Tours, has taken largely white foreign tourists around the Bronx. The tour guide was caught mocking the Bronx by Post reporter Candice Giove. Three times a week, Real Bronx Tours takes riders — mainly white Europeans and Australians — on a trip that includes stops at food-pantry lines and a “pickpocket” park. “Last week, on the first stop of the $45 tour, guide Lynn Battaglia, from Pittsburgh, pointed out a housing project. She then mocked the Grand Concourse, modeled after a Parisian boulevard,” reports Giove.“‘Do you feel like we’re on the Champs-Elysées?’ she teased a couple from Paris.” The tour also included a drive near a food pantry at a church. Battaglia wondered out loud, “I don’t know what that line’s about, but every Wednesday we see it. We see them go in with empty carts, and we see them come out with carts full. The tour guide warned of the dangers of going to a park in the Bronx and also gave inaccurate information about the origin of the word “pig” to describe a police officer. While Battaglia claimed the word came from the Bronx, in reality it originated in London. The Bronx borough president harshly criticized the guide and the tour. The guide is “the biggest fool on the planet,” said Ruben Diaz, the borough president. “To have foreigners come and gawk at a long line of people who are less fortunate than they are and to make money off of that and to view them as they are some sort of entertainment is pretty disgusting.” [emphasis mine] what.the.fuck. …..What. I can’t even. white people going to watch black and brown people in enclosed and purposefully impoverished places like the ghetto? sound familiar? sounds damn near like them zoos white folks used to have. this is sickening =(
