omg The Godfather is on. I used to be obsessed...
I still have a small library of books JUST about the history and making of this movie. My favorite, and most honest, is this small out of print production diary that was published and sold for a very brief time when the movie was first released. That shit is VERY telling about the racial attitudes not just on set, but during that time in general. Just uggghhhh I love this movie. There is still so...

modernist-witch said: Two of my fave products. And they smell so good! What a weird comment.
Right? I love this stuff! I dont need much for my hair so sometimes i’ll use R&B as a lotion (super dry skin). Works and smells sooo good. And I’ll open up my pot of Ultrabland throughout the day just to sniff it. Luff it. It faintly smells of banana chips and coconut oil to me, which is...

This is taking place at my school and I am furious. Under the American with Disabilities Act any school district (with the exception of a deaf school) that hires her will have to provide an interpreter. It’s ridiculous that the school is not allowing her to have an interpreter in the classroom when she will have one while she is...

some real gems. for those of you who don’t remember what quote i’m referencing it’s this one:
Why I’m always so frustrated by the titles “African American”, “Latin American”, etc. I have never referred to myself as “European American”, it’s always been “American”. Why do they have to qualify…

heres the thing people: theres black latinos.
and theres also WHITE latinos like cameron diaz or carlos ponce or sofia vergara.
and theres everything else too.
the fact theyre white latinos doesnt make them any less white. just like being latina doesnt make me any less black.
i feel like people are quick to see our blackness, but when it comes to white latinos, they are aryan...

Somebody tell me when Viola wins, I’m already over the entire Oscars concept. Billy Crystal is in blackface & white people are talking about black women & natural hair like it’s any of their fucking business. I can’t fuck with the media tonight. Gee, I wonder how many of the people patting themselves on the back for clapping at the idea of Viola’s hair are going to call Billy...

I think it is completely bizarre that so many in the USA treat black latinos like its a ‘new thing’ when most of the most recognized latino figures are black. I’ll just drop two big names, Celia Cruz and Roberto Clemente. At one point in time Roberto Clemente was the most recognized Puerto Rican…

I was in my perspectives on aftrican american males class today, and I heard some things that I am partly disgusted by, and partly pissed off that I’ve never learned about it before. I’m sick of the history of this country being hidden from me because I’m white, and because the history books i’ve read were by white males. I’m tired of the idea that...

my issue with that Meryl Streep quote where she talks about wanting Viola Davis to win the Oscar is that there’s no need for her voice to be present in this whatsoever. I mean, Viola Davis has a chance to be only the second black woman to win the award, so this could be a pretty major moment for…
