This is pretty much a response to the whole

#howtobeterrell thing, and the importance of education.

FIND ME A MOTHERFUCKING MOMENT WHERE TERRELL HAS SAID “YOU GUYS [AFRICANS] ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE.”

This chick is killing me, KILLING ME.

What was she saying about the “gene code” and her ancestors not getting caught? You think that’s something to applaud? There is something to be said about people being stolen from their land, taken all the way across a damn ocean while shackled in overloaded boats, AND THEN being forced to do labour for a bunch of racist folk. And we are STILL HERE! Surviving. I’m not even African-American lol, but as a person from the Caribbean I am still shaking my head at this tomfoolery. SMH!

This fox is just continually unimpressed with everything you have to offer.

what is the evolutionary perk to having a face like that god damn

Bigger predators leave you alone because they can’t stand the mockery and non-verbal put-downs

smaller animals will just let you eat them cause they don’t feel worthy anymore after that flat out disapproving look you gave them 

Condescending fox is condescending.

I’m totally laughing lol smh. What a cute face.

“If you’re white, you’re white. If you’re colored, you go with colored people.”

That line was uttered within the first 30 seconds of the video. Racism just isn’t in the south people.

What Would You Do segments are really good at pointing out the latent racism in society. If you want to know why PoC are so mistrustful of white people, just wait until about four minutes in. The couple is asked to leave and that’s when the white people just unload. They didn’t say a thing while that Black man was sitting there, but as soon as he left they let it be know how racist they were.

At one point, the same woman who said the quote above says, “It makes me cry to know a pretty girl like her would pick something like that”. Not someone, something. We aren’t people to her, we are things. We are things that should only date or marry other things like us. We are things that are not good enough for the all mighty white person.

SMH! The women’s tears. Why are YOU crying?

#racism 
"Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently."

sOuThErN SiMpLiCiTy: My loc journey so far... →

naturalgurlsroc:

So i’ve been getting really frustrated with my hair lately. I started my loc journey back in November (4 months ago) and it just didn’t seem to be going the way i wanted. While there are sections of my hair that seems to be mating up and locking fine other sections such as the front where my hair…

I also started my locs in November and it hasn’t been easy but I have a few tips. 

Your loctician definitely should have told you to moisturize your hair as frequently as it is needed. I’ve found that water is my hair’s best friend and I pretty much let it get soaking wet under the shower head every few days. Between that, I make sure that it’s oiled properly so that the moisture stays sealed in. 

I’m having a similar issue with the front of my hair not locking, so I did interlock a few at the front. This has been really useful! Just make sure that your loctician knows what she/he is doing or else they’ll turn out really skinny. 

Definitely check out Youtube videos on locs and find some loc forums (like the Nappturality forum) and there will be loads of advice for loc newbies. I hope you stick with it!
