#mules and men

She also collected stories from New Orleans. In her introduction to Mules and Men, she wrote, "Florida is a place that draws people - white people from all over the world, and negroes from every Southern state surely and some the North and West."

Hurston documented 70 folktales during the Florida trip, while the New Orleans trip yielded a number of stories about Marie Laveau and voodoo traditions. Many of the folktales are told in vernacular; recording the dialect and diction of the Black communities Hurston studied. She would also go on to study folktales from the Caribbean, including Jamaica and Haiti. Sterling Allen Brown was another writer who also studied folktales and vernacular from the South.

Me watching the LGBT community who almost never rarely gives black women and girls, asexuals, or aromantics genuine respect, pretend we’re all friends and have always treated us right the minute it’s June 1st and want to use black women(mainly darkskinned) and girls as their little poster girl:

I've already said several times how intersectionality was a scam and how ultimately Whitefem don't really like that about other demographics, but ngl.... I'm pretty impressed by how defensive & supportive they are with their faves.

Whitfem will NEVER shut up about Taylor Swift or Amber Heard. They will support them until their last breath and tbh big props to them for defending their own.

I wish Black women had the same fellowship. I am sick of seeing them pull out petition to release criminals out of jail (Tory Lanez) or shitting on other Black women to appeal to male (dunking in darkskin women or nappy hair again: it's a black woman who made a petition to "comb" Blue Ivy's hair when she was still a toddler.....)

Of course you'll never see "interesectional" White feminist care or speak up about those issues bc their intersectionality is a facade and they only care abt White women's struggle, but I wish they could at least be consistent and stop harassing ANY women not supportive enough of their White queens. No Ashley, I'm not going to keep tabs on whoever liked Johnny Deep post and be pissed at anyone who clowned Amber Heard....like you don't care abt men making racist or colorist comments about Black women..🙄 Cope and leave us alone. Your guilt trip will never work on us.

“patriarchy hurts us all and women need to take responsibility for not doing enough to help men deal with the patriarchy, feminism is for everyone”

reality : stop being so easily manipulated into expecting not only the bare minimum from men and their interpersonal relationships with women but absolutely nothing from how they interact with each other and themselves. teen girls and women are not mother theresa. no other group or identity is expected to do all of this. the relationship with the oppressed and their allies is lost when it comes to feminism and strong and unmoving when it comes to racism, sexuality/gender, and classism. it’s not up to me to teach and shelter you from harm! harm that you perpetuate most! actively!
