“What if my son had panicked under the stress, having never had a gun pointed at him before, and made what the officer considered a ‘suspicious’ movement? Had I come close to losing him? Triggers cannot be unpulled. Bullets cannot be called back.”

for real. reading the history of the laws (the many laws) written to keep blacks away from anything empowering is quite dizzying and housing discrimination was a big one. laws keeping and taking land from blacks go way back (for example) and as society progressed, it morphed to fit the times. nowadays it’s housing discrimination and it’s rampant.

“Angels, loving them, and the irreparable soul”

She’s an angel with invisible wings. I am ready and wanting to be her everything, but I would settle for being something.

The beauty in her eyes only eclipsed by the energy of her soul. I try to forget her, even if it is just for a few hours at a time.

True enough.

I just have this weird fantasy of Harley telling Joker to fuck off and shooting him in the face. This version looks badass enough to do that. It might just be the lack of clown make up though that makes me think that.

so basically, femburton inspired this. Black Harley Quinn

Feeding your family with money you earn is clearly a Democratic value.

Republicans would rather you be underpaid and dependent on the government.

That is the real Republican agenda.

what bothers me about the way we talk about slavery is that we are constantly pointing out the ways that slavery has changed black people and our culture today, but we don’t talk about what owning and torturing and raping and killing millions of people has done to white people, and the white psyche
