Nina Simone talking about blackness and black identity. Always inspires me.
Whatever means necessary 🙌🏾
“I think what you’re trying to ask is why am I so insistent upon [pause] giving out to them that Black-ness, that Black-power, that Black pushing them to identify with black culture; I think that’s what you’re asking. I have no choice over it; in the first place, to me we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world, black people. And I mean that in every sense, outside and inside. And to me we have a culture that is surpassed by no other civilization but we don’t know anything about it. So again, I think I’ve said this before in this same interview, I think at some time before. My job is to some how make them curious enough or persuade them, by hook or crook, to get more aware of themselves and where they came from and what they are into and what is already there, and just to bring it out. This is what compels me to compel them and I will do it by whatever means necessary”
This is what happens when POC have close to zero control over how they are chosen and represented in Hollywood media. The black experience isn’t a monolithic entity. We need more of us in the field, ESPECIALLY in animation.

Diamonds are neither rare, nor valuable. In one of the most successful ad campaigns of all time, De Beers claimed men should spend one month’s salary on a diamond ring. Then they raised their prices, restricted their supply, and created an illusion that generations of people still believe to be a mandatory part of the marriage process. Source
We went to the Women’s March on Washington to ask our fellow marchers what they had to say to Donald Trump and what brought them into the streets today. Over the next couple of days we’ll be posting some of their stories. Here’s one woman who’s a first generation American who says she feels devastated to think that her parents would not be welcomed into our country today.
And now, museums are collecting their favorite women’s march signs from this historic moment.
A black college student was told he was harassing people by sitting and waiting to talk to his adviser
A black student at Kennesaw State University in Georgia walked into the school’s advising office to ask a few questions. But he probably didn’t expect his simple request to escalate into a security matter.
Lets also not forget her name.
when will the disgusting racism end
