The List Is So Long...

✊🏽

hey you guys! so i wanted to helped educate everyone on some little known black history. you guys may remember when disney channel did a short special on the clinton 12, because cameron boyce’s grandmother is one them. i decided to do some more research and dig a little deeper to find out more details about the history changing event. 

PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!

If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this. 

Snopes confirms.

WOMAN ARE STRONG AND MORE THAN QUALIFIED

Reblog to make a point!

My dad thinks just because I am a women that I am not qualified or not strong enough to do a “mens job”. He still thinks that man can and have to work like man and women have to work like women…in a kitchen or as a assistant. He refuses to help or let me work where I want to. Please reblog, like or comment this to help me make a point clear. WOMEN ARE STRONG AND MORE THAN QUALIFIED.

Okay, let’s get something straight here: 

Día De Los Muertos is not “A Mexican Halloween”

If you did not know that, it is alright it is not your job to know everything about ever culture but allow me to explain exactly what Day of the Dead is: 

Día De Los Muertos/ Day of the Dead is a celebration but not so much of one like Halloween, 

In the mornings there are typically parades all filled with laughter, dance, beautiful decorations, and music of course it is fun we celebrate the life we have

But we don’t paint our faces and go parading down the street for nothing, its not a thing we do just because it is fun 

We MOURN

We honor those who has passed and made the journey to the afterlife

Each year families to to Grave sights (which are NOT for your aesthetically pleasing selfies please) to pay respects and visit those who have already gone

Mexicans and Hispanics are very family oriented people, at the grave sights you can often hear mother wailing out for their children who passed too soon or men knelt over their mother’s grave sobbing and of course children crying for their parents

People pray and cry out, they sob and scream

Yes it is a day of remembrance and we honor them but it is still painful, we miss those who once walked with us

Families and friends typically bring favorite food, flowers, drinks, etc to the graveyards 

Do NOT make fun of that. Please.

DON’T post skeleton memes aimed at Day of The Dead, the calavera/sugar skulls are meant to represented the parted souls of loved ones with names etched onto the forehead and the skulls painted on our faces are meant to ward off more death

DON’T disrespect grave sights, this is an obvious thing not to do people 

DON’T  celebrate if you do not intend of respecting and honoring those who have passed and just want it as a second Halloween 

DON’T mock people celebrating or any of the traditions 

DON’T mess the with petals, those orange petals are from a flower called  cempoalxochitl, and they are meant to help guide the dead back to their homes so their spirits can too visit 

Don’t get me wrong Day of the Dead isn’t always sad it is also fun and amazing and beautiful, we not only honor those who have gone but we celebrate those who have lived this long, we celebrate the life we have and acknowledge the fact we made it this far, death is a natural cycle, death will take us all one day but not today, and that is the reason why we celebrate! It is a beautifully melancholy holiday, and remember Day of the Dead is actually multiple days do please be mindful!

i recently had to read venus by suzan lori parks for school and i can not get it out of my head because of how disturbing it was. black women truly do deserve better.

(also if you noticed i kept flipping back and forth between sara or sarah. it’s been an ongoing debate on how her name is spelled so i used both spellings.)

Tianna Arata is a black woman who is about to face 15 years. She currently has eight charged against her including multiple felonies, all because she organized a peaceful protest. A FUCKING PROTEST. She’s an active activist using her 1st amendment to speak on systematic racism and other important issues.
