Things to avoid in general because they are offensive and/or mock black culture:
Sassy (NO YOU DO NOT HAVE A SASSY BLACK WOMAN LIVING INSIDE OF YOU. STOP. LOOKIN AT YOU WHITE GAY COMMUNITY).
Do not call black hair kinky or nappy. (Don’t touch it either).
Do not call things ghetto. Just don’t.
Don’t use the word thug in relation to black men.
Do not assume black people are ignorant just because they don’t speak the same dialect of English as you do.
Don’t make fun of black names.
If you use the n-word, I have no sympathy for you. Good fucking luck.
What’s the difference between a police officer and a bullet?
When a bullet kills someone else, you know it’s been fired
Black people do not have to be exceptional for their right to life!!!!
Repeat after me:
Black people do not have to be exceptional for their right to life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to a BLM march yesterday and got some shots. It was an incredible experience and the energy levels were super high.
I wore a mask and had hand sanitizer on hand. I just wanted to experience and be a part of something so important.
Hi Tumblr
The things happening over in america are horrendous, but also making way for changes for the better. They’re making the whole world have a discussion about racism still woven into our societies.
But please. It’s pride month. My country, my people need this to be on the lips of the world.
I've actually already done this but I just found out how to change the pins for flags! So
Uuuhhhhh
