Fix it, Black Girl. Fix us, Black Girl. Nurse us, Black Girl. Teach us, Black Girl. Be the help, Black Girl. Clean up our messes, Black Girl. Vote for us, Black Girl. Don’t complain, Black Girl. Let us touch your hair, Black Girl.
It ain’t pretty unless we say it’s pretty, Black Girl. Give us your culture, Black Girl. Watch us flip it and become rich, Black Girl. Let us kill your sons and daughters, Black Girl. Don’t you dare say a word about it, Black Girl.
Who fights for you, Black Girl? Who will mourn for you, Black Girl? You better smile for us, Black Girl. Don’t speak until spoken to, Black Girl. Don’t make demands, Black Girl. Your presence makes me uncomfortable, Black Girl.
Why are you so angry, Black Girl? Ignore your health, Black Girl. Put your life on the back burner, Black Girl. Help me fulfill my dreams, Black Girl. Stop taking up so much space, Black Girl. Be all things to all of us, Black Girl. Educate yourself on who we are, Black Girl.
Be our cheerleader, Black Girl. Teach us not to hate you, Black Girl. Labor for our benefit, Black Girl. Let us tear it down and you rebuild it, Black Girl. Sweat for us, Black Girl. Dance for us, Black Girl. Be Venus Hottentot for us, Black Girl. Let us rape you, Black Girl.
Who’s gonna believe you anyway, Black Girl? Sing pretty for us, Black Girl. Entertain us, Black Girl. Build movements and let us steal them, Black Girl. Let us co-opt your excellence, Black Girl. Just be satisfied, Black Girl. Give us your ideas for our profit, Black Girl.
Work for free, Black Girl.  Stay in your place, Black Girl. We saved you a seat in the back, Black Girl. You should be thankful to be in the room, Black Girl.
Move over, Black Girl.
Minimize, Black Girl.
Shrink, Black Girl.
Disappear, Black Girl.
Don’t be so loud, Black Girl.
Whisper, Black Girl.
Just shut up, Black Girl. 
Ain’t you tired, Black Girl?
Thank you all so much for seeing me and sharing this poem. It affirmed something for me that my soul didn’t even know I needed. Thank you. ❤️ Please know I see you. In this world you are here and you belong here, Black Girl. So shine, Black Girl.

Thank you all so much for your support and for inquiring about my book. My book is called Dear White Women, It’s Not You. It’s Me. I’m Breaking Up With You! It’s available now on Amazon. Thank you! ❤️✊🏿

I have been so intrigued watching Watergate documentaries on YouTube. It truly brings into perspective what is happening today. I couldn’t understand why so many people around Trump don’t step and say, “This is wrong,” until I watched the documentary.
When you are in The Oval everything is about serving the President. It stops being about country for some people and their only focus is on pleasing the President. Everything they are exist in the bubble of the White House. They enjoy being a part of the “inner circle.”
While many of them have no actual power, the proximity to power is all they desire. They’ll do anything the Pres. wants even if that means suspending reality, lying, committing crimes, perjury, whatever it takes to keep the President in power and stay in the Pres. good graces.

Please stop asking Black women to swoop in and save this nation. Black women only make this look easy. We are tired. Overworked. Underpaid and highly disrespected.
This world treats Black Women like an ATM machine always coming to us for withdrawals and very rarely if ever depositing anything of any value back into who we are. We don’t exist to clean up your messes. We aren’t playing mammy because of mistakes y’all made.
Here is a thought, support Black Women doing whatever the hell Black Women want to do and in turn that will bless this nation. But that’s too radical of a thought, huh?

The woman wasn’t upset that a blanket and birthday balloons were set up on the sidewalk. That didn’t bother her. She was upset that a BLACK woman and her BLACK daughter were in a space that she felt they didn’t belong in. That is the REAL STORY.
“For centuries, White America has dictated how Black people can navigate our own bodies in spaces. It is not just the physical space itself being regulated by White people but the actual way Black people can use their bodies in these spaces.”

We have to start calling a thing a thing. She is White, she is rich and she feels entitled to control that space and how dare this Black woman be on the sidewalk while she is trying to walk her dog! Anyone else would say how cute, and walk around. No big deal.

Sope au in which princess Hoseok is locked away in a tower and one day his enemy since kids, Yoongi, the doctor’s son stumbles with his cute deer pet upon the tower and he reluctantly saves Hoseok
Hs: why did you even save me? I know you've despised me since we were kids
Yg: Thought I might use the money plus what was my father going to say if he knew I saw you in a tower but didn't rescue you?
Hs: whoever rescues me gets to marry me too and now you've ruined it
Yg:like hell I'm gonna marry you.
He petted the deer’s head.
Hs: i don't want to marry you
/obviously/ but I'm saying no one is gonna marry me cuz /you/ saved me and whoever saves me, gets my hand
Yg:do you want me to put you back in the tower?
Hs:no
Yg: then shut up

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
