oddity alone

Police terrorize protesters.

stop making this about the hunger games

stop making this about v for vendetta

stop making this about les mis

stop making this about any other fictional allegorical oppression story

stop reblogging to kill a mockingbird quotes

stop making this about Steve Rogers oh my fucking god

this is about THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY HAPPENING, this is not about what kind of fictional utopian America that you think he should represent.

Stop using white narratives for black struggles; those stories are not made by black people, they are not about black people and putting them front and centre in a conversation about anti-black racism is gross as all hell, whether you’re white or non-black POC. 

use quotes by ACTUAL BLACK PEOPLE INSTEAD. 

this goes to white people and as well as fellow non-black POC. 

John Legend - You & I (Nobody In The World)

They are young and old, cis and trans, straight and queer, in sickness and in health, and they come in countless colors, shapes, and sizes. They are women, and for four minutes and 15 seconds, John Legend pays them the basic respect that half the world’s population is routinely denied. 

It is not a revolutionary video — at least, it shouldn’t be. Deceptively simple in form and function, You & I uses only a progression of medium shots of individual women. Presented with their totality, the differences fade away, and we are left with the fact that before anything else, women are simply and unignorably people.
