Who is she

Beautiful!

all these little black ballerinas make my heart melt

A persistent banker wouldn’t stop hitting on me so I simply asked him to leave me a loan

I can’t believe B.o.B. released a fucking Neil deGrasse Tyson diss track but I guess that’s just the kind of year it’s going to be 

I think it’s safe to say that I very seriously and painfully underestimated the kind of year it was going be

Yooooooooo

the other hard thing is that they can talk to you and treat you with respect, and think that in doing so they love black women. but as soon as you begin to have conversations about the racism and sexism black women face, and even hint that *gasp* in many ways black women’s struggles are tougher than black men, they immediately show a kind of disrespect for black womanhood that negates any kind of respect they showed you when they were just trying to get at you. their violent rejection that they aren’t the only one’s that are black and struggling (i.e. not the only ones dying at the hands of police, not the only ones discarded in jails and prisons) only proves they have no idea what loving and supporting black women means…..

This is very valid. You can like everything about a guy, but it’s still an immediate turn off when you found out that he upholds respectability politics and anti black women notions. It’s okay to be ignorant and willing to learn, but being indignant for the sake of derailing is a quick way to get cut tf off. If he refuses to look outside of his own realm of thinking, honestly it’s just easier to cut your losses.
