Disclaimer: None of these pictures are mine, i’ve found them online through google. If you do not want your picture used let me know.

I decided to try Nude’s that are a variation for everyone’s lips. From pinker, to brown ones. And also lovelies who are on…

in(HER)view: a conversation with black women.

Part 2 of 8 asks “What’s The Most Challenging Part About Being a Black Woman?” + Ryann discusses Masculine Privilege.

The eight-part bi-weekly series asks five black women the same eight questions about their lived experiences-from what they love about being a black woman to the challenges they face.

[TW] The Boiling Frog Principle Of Boundary Violation

communityandresistance:

when [T]WoC belong to everyone (black womyn=mammy), when we aren’t able to come up with boundaries of our own & have them respected, it makes it more difficult to “fight back” in normative ways. It makes us easy targets. It makes it difficult to name our experiences of violation, cuz we were taught that we weren’t ABLE to be violated.

…uh

yay…fetishizing????

I know, right… Leave it to white people to think fetishizing is the shit… god, I’m going to need a lot of sugar and orgasms to get this stank look off my face.

White people DO thinking fetishizing is love.

Every time I get into a conversation about racists with a white person they spill out some “I’m a chocoholic!” or “I love black people!” bullshit.

Yeah, okay, you love black people. You love the single story you THINK black people are.

You love turning us into edible stuffs like chocolate and caramel.

You love sagging your jeans or saying dogg or staring at our asses.

I’m sorry, I’ve been derailing a lot.

What is this “three holes are better than two” shit?!?!?!?!?!?! I’m sorry, way to completely disrespect trans* bodies and assuming you know every transguy’s anatomy. AND. AND. This assumes so much about what kind of sex trans* guys apparently automaticaly like. And that trans* guys have small hands. AND WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY TRANS* COCK?! This is actually reaaaallllyyyyy fucking out of line.

EVERYTHING ^^^

When a white man “likes colored girls,” his woman (the white woman) is the last one he wants to know about it. Yet, seemingly,when a Negro man “likes white girls,” his woman (the Black woman) is the first he wants to know about it. White female rejects and social misfits are fragrantly flaunted in our faces as the ultimate in feminine pulchritude. Our women are encouraged by our own men to strive to look and act as much like the white female image of beauty as possible, and only those who approach that “goal” in physical appearance and social behavior are acceptable. At best, we are made to feel we are poor imitations and excuses for white women.

Zanele Muholi, talented photographer from South Africa, is known for documenting black lesbian lives. Recently, 20 external hard drives filled with her work was stolen from her Cape Town home. This is a very sad loss.

Find more of her work here.

Call me crazy but I NEVER want to NOT reblog Muholi’s photos.

The founder of the gulabis is the fearless Sampat Pal Devi, 40, who was married off at the age of 12 to an ice-cream vendor and had the first of her five children at 15. The gulabis, whose members say they are a “gang for justice,” started in 2006 as a sisterhood of sorts that looked out for victims of domestic abuse, a problem the United Nations estimates affects two in three married Indian women. Named after their hot-pink sari uniforms, the gang paid visits to abusive husbands and demanded they stop the beatings. When obstinate men refused to listen, the gulabis would return with large bamboo sticks called laathis and “persuade” them to change their ways. “When I go around with a stick, it’s to make men fear me. I don’t always use it, but it helps change the mind of men who think they are more powerful than me” says Pal. She has assumed the rank of commander in chief and has appointed district commanders across seven districts in Bundelkhand to help coordinate the gang’s efforts.
Pal’s group now has more than 20,000 members, and the number is growing.

Spotted: 20,000+ oppressed brown women kicking phenomenal ass. Fucks were not given.
