Did not realize until today that Cyntoia Brown had already been in prison for 15 years I thought this whole thing was recent and they had tried this 16 year old girl as an adult and sent her to prison last year or some shit she’s fucking 30 now she’s been imprisoned half her life I’m glad she’s getting out in August but I had no idea how much she had already lost

i speak french in public to my grandparents and to my boyfriend. people are surprised that im bilingual and say its cool and ask me to teach them some time
but when one of my classmates speaks arabic in public to her family, she gets strange and disgusted looks. no one asks to be taught arabic. no one says its cool that shes bilingual
its racism plain and simple
this is a problem that goes unnoticed too often please fucking fix it.

A clip from the LA Riots of ‘92. The emotions of a black owner ran high when he discovered that his business was ruined.
Smh
Damn.. that pain in his voice tho..
Damn. Nobody ever thinks about this.
If you gonna riot, do it in THEIR neighborhoods. Not our own.
This just crushed my spirit .

It’s beautiful seeing culture celebrated and not suppressed as Jason Momoa, family and friends perform the haka on the Aquaman red carpet.
