Don't be afraid to learn about other cultures and even adopt some things from them.

Cultural exchange is how we expand our knowledge and ideas. It’s a positive thing.

Christmas lights are so aesthetically pleasing.

the boondocks wasn’t a ‘ghetto show’ for black kids. if anything, the cartoon talked about how society treats black people and how black people see themselves. these are some of the many qoutes from the series. i tagged some of the topics the show talks about, i only tagged a few though. (qoutes shown are said by the character Huey Freeman who is supposed to represent black panther, Huey P. Newton.)

She is God black and beautiful lone and lovely asked me once what I wished for told her hold me hostage to your body closest to your impulse subject to your love write movements in the shivers you send down my spine after all our lovemaking is symphonic our sessions are concert limited seating available most times a standing affair put cameras strategic around the room viewing audiences should be advised you are naught but pawns in a game that had been won long before you entered you can chase the Queen but I assure you she will lay waste to your kingdom inscribed my name in hieroglyphs across the wall of her yoni she knows we were always conquerors I know the lay of her land too well pierced her fortresses over cyclical time delivered energy to her innermost chamber she holds it in spades so if she is to ever leave be on guard for what she chooses to unleash see she know her body to be extension of God do not find yourself in the void lost to the ether clapback legendary silence a group with a glance so you can imagine that when she looked at me I was rooted foundation solidified and I wanted nothing more than to be suspended in her love “hang”

I don't like the word "woke"

Being "woke" has now just become a trend for some people. They just hide behind the word on the Internet, but won't do anything to help in the real world. If you can't do what you say you want to do on tumblr, Twitter, ect. stop acting like you care. Next.

Don't think the problem of racism has gone away just because "Yes, Masta'" has turned into "Yes, Officer"

“To be black and conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage.” - James Baldwin.

Even though we are woke, it’s like we’re still in the nightmare.

I’m always so late to the Blackouts.

Speak. I dare you. Say something. Say nothing. Be silent. Be a stone. Be a polaroid. Be anything that doesn’t make a sound. Your tongue is a firearm on a plane. Watch your mouth. Watch your temper. Watch your attitude. Watch “Rosewood.” Watch “Fruitvale Station.” Watch us kill people who look like you And get away with it. Watch the news. Watch your back. Don’t wear hoodies. Don’t wear t-shirts. Don’t wear jeans or sneakers. Pull up your pants. Tie your shoes. Don’t whistle. Don’t sing. Don’t smile, laugh, or frown. Don’t stare. Don’t look away. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Don’t drive. Or walk. Or run. Black boy, don’t run. Stay still. We like our targets better this way. You thought I was just a country? Boy, I’m a record player. Watch me put on history And spin it backwards.
