When I see a post of a beautiful Black woman I want to reblog, but the OP didn't bother to put the name of the model on the post so that we can build her tag or even follow her career online or otherwise

When I'm looking for Black women and Tumblr search gives me everything that has the word "black" in the post, because Tumblr users insist they need to tell you when the post has black clothing or makeup or anything else that makes finding searches for Black female content harder than my actual job that pays me

When nonblack people named "Ebony"

1. Stop clogging Black women's tags

2. Actually tag the Black women you are posting

3. Keep the word "black" out of posts when it isn't necessary

"The Negro was born in depression. It didn't mean too much to him, the Great American Depression, as you call it. There was no such thing," recounted Clifford Burke in Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression. "The best he could be is a janitor or a porter or shoeshine boy. It only became official when it hit the white man. If you can tell me the difference between the depression today and the Depression of 1932 for a Black man, I'd like to know it."

In reality, it didn't make any more sense for white men to force women out of the workforce during the Great Depression than it would have made for Black men to do so, but they did it anyway. An anti-woman-worker rhetoric heated up, employees increased their hiring discrimination against married women (who, in sexist theory, shouldn't have had to work because they were married- and were therefore only working selfishly, for personal gain).

In 1932, federal economic recovery efforts required that if both husband and wife held a government job, one would have to leave or be fired. We can guess which spouse in this equation was usually out of a job."
