Watching oldish episodes of Greys Anatomy, and I’m still pissed at the fact that they had to put @hellojerrika (Steph Edwards) through that shit. Couldn’t they let a Black Woman leave in peace? But you know what you ACTED SIS YOU ACTED! ✨
South Africans have no problem with whites, they can kill us and we don't say anything. We only have problem with somalians, nigerians and zimbabweans and other black africans. #Anele#fritz
This is the two-pronged attack that must happen in concert.
We must fight for mass-marketed films to be inclusive and to reflect the stories we want told.

No waiting.
#thewordnigger and #thewordnigga After watching last nights performance of Black Like Me I don’t think I can use those words again. There’s something about hearing and witnessing your elders pain when they speak of their experience with the N word.
“Born a sharecropper’s son on Jan. 18, 1951, Cummings was told he was too slow to learn and spoke poorly, and he would never fulfill his dream of becoming a lawyer. He died at 68 as one of the most powerful committee chairmen in the U.S. House.” https://t.co/YepSbfo1Yk
@TheLaurenChen Which people want Black culture to be ubiquitous? When did this marketing campaign occur? We complain constantly that our culture gets hijacked by media. Black culture is ubiquitous because corporations find it profitable. And you’re mad because we wanna hold something back.
When you decide to prioritize your needs, know you will be initiated through experiences of..
- boundary pushers
- resistance from those who feel entitled to you
- accusations of being selfish
- guilt trips
- shaming from those who are stuck in people pleaser/subservient mode
