Birmingham, 1963 to Detroit, 2010- The Tragedy of Bombed and Brutalized Black Girls. On May 19, 2010. America is not the world and if America is going to become a nation, she must find a way and this child must help her to find a way to use the tremendous potential and tremendous energy which this child represents. If this country does not find a way to use that energy, it will be destroyed by that energy. James Baldwin. The Full Text of Baldwin’s “A Talk to Teachers” can be found here. 9654; 3 Responses.

Common, Latifah and Thick Snack Shrugs | Just Jo Nubian

Common, Latifah and Thick Snack Shrugs. On May 6, 2010. Swagtastic, but at a price…. It all started on twitter…. For the reasons mentioned above, and for the mental illnesses that have sat beside them- you know the thoughts of suicide, bulimia, red pepper diets, promiscuity, et. al.- I am extremely sensitive about how unrealistic beauty standards affect women, and how we sometimes unconsciously perpetuate them. So, I admittedly have a few ruffled feathers after reading replies to this. How many of these ...

I am lately shocked and amazed to live in the incredibly excessive wealth of the U.S. I have lived elsewhere, and my heart lives in a simplicity somewhere beyond even those different places. Thank you for your leadership. Please come on strong! Please never give up. We need your consciousness so much. Un amigo en Puerto Rico. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Archive for August, 2009 Monthly archive page. Brothers Remove Your Masks. On August 25, 2009. I am at a very interesting point in my adult life, where after some difficult relationships, I find myself becoming a bit embittered. My bitterness is not directed towards the specific Black men that I have been involved with, or Black men as a collective actually, but more so at the conditions that are sabotaging Black men’s potential to lead healthy, normal, lives. 9654; View 15 Comments.

Self Definition and the Slaying of Superwoman. On May 14, 2010. If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive. Audre Lorde. Became my anthem. On most days it says everything I want to but am not audacious enough to say. I won’t support your lie no more. I won’t even try no more. If I have to die, oh Lord. That’s how I choose to live. I won’t be compromised no more. I can’t be victimised no more. I just don’t sympathize no more. 8221; I saw ...

Archive for July, 2009 Monthly archive page. My Sorrows Can Not Be Skip’d. On July 28, 2009. My father and Henry Louis “Skip” Gates have nothing in common. Pops was not Harvard educated and the story of his ancestry has never been made into a PBS special. You see, my father lived in the bowels of the old south; racism felt about as natural to him as raising the cotton he sharecropped in the hot southern Louisiana sun. And speaking of Baldwin, I think this quote from him serves this post well:. Enter your...
