Malcolm X - "he was like um bad"
unaguerrasinfondo:
white society still worships slaveowners and masterminds of genocide (just look at a 1 dollar bill and a 20 dollar bill), yet considers a man that didn’t harm a single human-being in his entire life to be ‘bad’ or ‘evil’

racialicious:
On January 9th, I wrote a story titled “Calling Asians Racist Slurs on Fast Food Receipts is Now a National Trend” about a growing number of incidents where fast food workers identify customers on receipts with a racist slur, or in this latest case, a drawing. At places like Starbucks and Jamba Juice the person taking customers’ orders is suppose to ask for the customers name to...

Get the Frack Out Of Here! - ICTMN.com →
John Fenton’s water went bad about six years ago. “Our water well’s only 12 years old,” he says. “We drilled it when we built the house… then it started to change and [get] bubbly with gas.” Around that same time, other residents in the nearby town of Pavillion began complaining of changes in their water, and shortly after, started noticing health problems. Many in the town wondered if local oil...

However, I also want you to have a brief summary of some of the more salient points so that you do not assume you are merely being called a racist, and so that I do not...

my mom and brother back in The Bronx are grinding on around $150 monthly food stamps that run out in 2 weeks, and they just lowered it by $7 last week.
We used to get around $500, but now that I’m away at school the gov brought it down. I don’t understand how you can take away $350 from food stamps just because one person leaves the household for 8 months...

It didn’t matter how much money I had in my bank account or how good my insurance was, or that I had a ring on my finger, or that I was smart and accomplished, or that I tried to pay my way out of substandard service.

*Imagine this…
You do some research into your family tree and discover that your uncle, who was born nearly 30 years after slavery, was one of thousands of black men pulled back into a forced labor system in which they were arrested – largely on trumped up charges – and compelled to work without pay as prisoners.
“Slavery by Another Name,” narrated by Laurence Fishburne and...

She’s married to my dad, and happily so since 1984.
