one thing... I CAN NOT STAND.... is being ignored. if you're busy, say so. if you are not in the mood to talk, say so. if you are done with me, SAY SO. COMMUNICATE.
Can’t be with a bisexual or pansexual man because “sexual health” but that shit don’t matter when you got Straight Steve over here sleeping with five different women raw at the same time. Okay.
He’s fucking a family member or a man. Or he is raping a child. If it’s not anything sexual…he murdered someone. All I know is something incriminating is in there.
So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.
I wore a bonnet to class almost every other day and it never stopped me from being “successful” with a 3.6 gpa + Phi Beta Kappa & Manga Cum Laude honors so beyond the Black bourgeois respectability politics bullshit I think some of the Tuskegee admin is hatin cause they bald
if yall were to say “there’s nothing wrong with wearing a bonnet outside, i just don’t like it.” i could understand. but yall get to acting like black people are less than and raggedy for wearing the shit and that’s where i jump ship
And this is exactly why I don’t fuck with the whole bonnet ban conversation. It was never just about “professionalism.” A lot of it is rooted in people’s distaste and disdain for seeing products made specifically for Black hair worn in public.
Those women were staying at a hotel. They came downstairs early in the morning, wearing pajamas and bonnets, to eat the continental breakfast and mind their business. Instead, a grown man walked up filming, mocking, and harassing them as if they had done something wrong. They were not at work, in a courtroom, at a formal event, or bothering anyone. They were simply trying to eat breakfast.
That reaction proves the point. The moment some people see a Black woman in a bonnet or a Black man in a durag, they automatically start making assumptions about their character, class, intelligence, cleanliness, and self-respect. Even other Black people look at them with disgust and start talking down on them.
Wearing a bonnet outside does not justify humiliation, harassment, or public shaming. The fact that a harmless piece of hair protection can trigger this much anger says far more about the people doing the judging than it does about the person wearing it.
