I have been called an extremist before. Which usually serves as a laugh, because obviously someone who calls a seventeen year old blogger an extremist has no concept of suicide bombings, occults, or genocide. But truthfully, there are…

jonathan-cunningham:
Learning how to be respectful of the transgender community and everyone in it was one of the first things I started learning on Tumblr (which isn’t to say I’m perfect now, or finished learning, just that it was a large area of personal ignorance at the time).
I learned that it was disrespectful…

That’s why there is no need for an Ivory Magazine, White History Month or White Entertainment Television. Look at Seventeen, Elle, Vogue, W Magazine, Fox, Vh1, MTV, NBC, CBS, Philosophy/History/Anthropology classes. They all talk showcase, discuss and study whiteness.. this all belongs to you….

notime4yourshit:
People tickle me with this “if we go see Red Tails/Pariah/The Next Hyped POC movie & help it be a success, maybe just maybe, Hollywood will change” school of thought.
