There is nothing that better personifies the “American Dream” than rap culture, and there is nothing…

and our shit was already in it since its based on the jazz age.

This Tumblr will not reblog pictures of famous people in Israel unless that person is addressing what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinians and/or African immigrants and the pinkwashing that is going on.

eshusplayground:

Yes, yes, I’m glad that people can enjoy themselves there, and I hope to go to Israel at least once before I die, but considering all the fucked up shit that the Israeli government (and, by proxy, the US) is doing right now, I can’t force myself to be happy about wealthy American tourists going there.

And this is coming from me as a person who believes that the land of Israel is a holy place and for whom the injustices committed in the name of Israel feel like blasphemy.

Princess Sikhanyiso Dlamini of Swaziland. 

She is the oldest of 23 children. Her father is King Mswati III. Swaziland is Africa’s last absolute monarch. 

In 2001, Mswati III instituted the umchwasho – a traditional chastity rite – in Swaziland as a means of combatting the AIDS epidemic. The princess became a focus of controversy as, while she was staying abroad, she was not bound by the strictures of the umchwasho. While studying abroad, Princess Sikhanyiso has developed a reputation for ignoring or rebelling against her native country’s traditions. Sikhanyiso wears Western-style clothing something women in Swaziland are discouraged from doingThe Princess also criticized the institution of polygamy in Swaziland, saying “Polygamy brings all advantages in a relationship to men, and this to me is unfair and evil”.

Right now the Princess is in Australia working a masters degree at Sydney University.

Also I kinda really REALLY wanna be her friend. She seems pretty awesome.

WHAT IF MY COLORS ARE DIFFERENT THAN YOUR COLORS

They are, because people having varying numbers of Rods and cones in their eyes, it causes people to see colours differently.

Also there is a theory that everyone sees, for example, the colour red differently eg Red=yellow, but because we’ve been taught that, that specific colour is red, no one knows if everyone is seeing the same colour as another person.

We don’t have to be what other people expect from us. You can listen to hip hop and rock, you don’t have to like Obama, you don’t have to speak in slang or act hood. Don’t ever think your skin determines your character, that’s that shit limits our potential. We are inventors, leaders, doctors, lawyers, teachers; we aren’t just gang members and athletes. Dont let anyone define you because you are black and dont let them tell you what being black is

TELL’EM
