Think On.

White ppl:

it’s not your job to satisfy him sexually because he’s horny

you are not required to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or that you don’t want to do

don’t be scared of “losing him”

As for lesbians having a higher rate of reported domestic violence. It’s because they are willing to call the police on each other. Far far far more husbands beat their wives but their wives won’t report it. Battered straight women keep quiet for the kids. Just like how they stay married for the kids.

“do you believe in god?”

me:

You’ve got these people complaining that it’s cultural appropriation if white people do this and that, that it’s disrespectful for them to wear all these kinds of things, and that a lot of those things have histories behind them that you need to respect when you wear them.

for other swers considering transitioning to the vanilla world who fear the dreaded resume gap, here’s how i translated my stripping experience on my resume:

• Compiling, organizing, and utilizing client demographic data

• Creative problem solving, conflict resolution, building rapport, and negotiating with clients

• Precision time management to ensure maximum sales in a fast paced environment

i listed my club’s LLC name instead of our business name because it’s completely neutral, of course. i told the interviewer that it was a commissioned independent contractor sales position and as such, it necessitated an iron-clad work ethic and motivation because no one gave me instruction or guidance. no boss wants to HAVE to micromanage and i excel at working independently.

i also said that all sales positions are fundamentally about getting people to say yes, and that i’ve honed my interpersonal skills and my ability to gauge clients’ unspoken needs.

Beyonce can’t exactly give her prepared acceptance speech to a room full of racist white people who didn’t vote for her. What’s she gonna say? “Thanks for nothing”? She’d have to make up something to say on the fly. She can’t thank Adele for the award without the media calling her a smug/conceited sore loser. She can’t criticize the voters or the organization without being lambasted by the media as both a sore loser and as a “ hysterical angry black woman.” 

Anything Beyonce said to that room would have been turned against her a thousand fold – Beyonce and Adele both knew that. Every black person in the room knew that too. In court, defending yourself is not always your best option. You often need a character witness who’ll speak on your behalf. This may not have been a literal court, but the same principle applies to the court of public opinion.

And btw Adele did give Beyonce the award. She said “I cannot accept this award” and then she broke off the base of the grammy (the part that had Adele’s name on it) and gave the trophy part to Beyoncé. Maybe they cut that portion out of the particular broadcast you watched, but it did happen and there are articles about it.
