Let the beauty we create be what we celebrate

►►I blog mostly about human rights, kick ass outfits, politics, things that inspire me, and intersectional feminism. I occasionally reblog Teen Wolf, Misfits (BBC), The Almighty Johnsons, Pushing Daisies and the Lord of the Rings. Cameos by everything else.

  • white feminists: HOW IS FEMINISM A RACE THING
  • Indigenous Women: Because what you call feminism you stole from us, like everything else we owned. We'd like that back by the way.
  • Black Women: We were doing it and doing it better before you white girls too.
  • “Third-World” Women of Color: Because you justify bombing us in the name of Women’s liberation.
  • Men of Color: Because you depict us as being inherently sexual predators and criticize us more and more intensely than white men for the same shit.
  • Trans* Women of Color: Because you depict us as rapist men out to steal the female form and exclude us from spaces we desperately need to feel safe because people kill us and no one cares.
  • Women of Color in general: Because you refuse to acknowledge how your white privilege has been used to oppress people of color for centuries and the intersectional experiences that women of color face. How white supremacy, colonialism and imperialism imposed your shitty Western gender binary upon us with your shitty gender roles and your shitty patriarchy on top of the racism we face, makes us and our bodies seen as inherently rapeable, killable and less than subhuman. Acknowledge race you white fuckers.

as women, we are conditioned to smile and be polite

i’m trying to recondition myself to not do that

i’m sick of my automatic response to creepy fuckin dudes being a nervous smile and nausea

i want a chronic bitch face and when i get harassed i want my first response to be to spit and sneer

fuck your street harassment and fuck being polite

“I began to use the phrase in my work White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy because I wanted to have some language that would actually remind us continually of the way, the interlocking systems of domination that define our reality…To me, an important breakthrough, I felt, in my work and that of others was the call to use the term White Supremacy over racism, because racism in and of itself did not really call for a discourse of colonization and decolonization, the recognition of the internalized racism within people of color, and it was always in a sense keeping things at the level that in which whiteness, and white people, remained at the center of the discussion…In my classroom, I might say to students that when we use the term white supremacy, it doesn’t just evoke white people, it evokes a political world that we can all frame ourselves in relation to.”

Nicki Minaj & Peter Rosenberg Talk Past Beef Face-to-Face

She’s so smart and beautiful and perfect and feminist

She’s amazing. Favorite moment (25:30): 

Nicki: “… When there are 10 guys in the line up and little ol me, girl with vagina…”

Interviewer: “wait not a girl with a vagina?”

Nicki: “I said girl with vagina, what?”

Interviewer: “as opposed to a girl without a vagina?”

Nicki: “right…”

But also, why does that fact that hip-hop went and continues to enter the mainstream have to be on her shoulders? Hip-hop started going mainstream way before she was in the scene. Like, you want to talk about hip-hop becoming popular music you better take it up with every other mainstream hip-hop artist, producer, and record label out there from the 90s to now as well. Such a basic critique.

sweet jesus I am in love with this woman

that white guy is annoying me

“I’m entitled to walk away”. Only thing you really need to take from this. Loved it. Also, I would like to add, with the amount of controversy that Nicki Minaj deals with, she always stands up for herself in a way that she sees necessary and she articulates what upset her and what she would like to change. Whether it be Mariah Carey, Barbara Walters, or this annoying guy.
