About how fat women are making their way to prime time with people like Rebel Wilson.

Did everyone just forget about the Parker’s or Living Single?

Those shows had body positivity oozing from episode to episode

At the intersection of Racism Rd. and Sexism St. are WOC, getting used and neglected on the regular.

Men stay trying to assert that women are unreasonable/hysterical for having feelings. I swear, having feelings as a WOC is a whole other story.

White women’s feelings are always kind of acknowledged and then men just kinda:

*sigh* oh you women and your feelings, I’m totally the stronger gender, but I’ll entertain your shit anyways because you’re a delicate angel who needs protecting.

Let a WOC dare to have a feeling and express it:

Oh my god bitch, why the fuck are you accosting me with your agressive feelings. You’re clearly wrong about your feelings, stupid cunt, get the fuck off my case.

Dismissal, neglect and silencing are abusive. Don’t ever let someone tell you differently.

confusedtree:

Honey Boo Boo and her family are happy, she isn’t doing anything more embarrassing than your standard blush-inducing family photo album stuff and her parents are literally putting every single dollar they make from the show into a college savings for their children and all the gifts she gets from fans get donated to LGBT youth shelters what possible bone could you have to pick with these people other than the fact that you find them slightly abrasive.

I have a problem with their appropriation of AAVE.

thepeoplesrecord:

On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped explosives containing C-4 on the roof of a house where members of the black liberation & social justice organization MOVE lived. Right before, police attacked the house with 10,000 rounds of ammunition in 90 minutes, knowing that children were inside. The house burned for 45 minutes before hoses were turned on.

Eleven people, including founder John Africa, five adults & five children were killed. The incident also destroyed 65 homes in the area, leaving 250 homeless. Witnesses reported police officers shooting at those trying to escape from the fire that ensued.

MOVE continues to advocate for prisoners’ rights & for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal & nine MOVE members who were found guilty of the murder of a police officer in 1978.
