And Black people are FUNNY. We are HILARIOUS. Perfect timing and wordplay are part of our oral traditions and it’s AWESOME.
But it is NOT FOR WHITE AND NON-BLACK PEOPLE TO CONSUME! Because y’all don’t get context. You don’t respect us or the struggle behind our words. And THEY ARE NOT FOR YOU. Our culture is OURS to enjoy, not for you to snicker at!
this kind of makes me nauseous

Who Sings songs to Black Girls?
blackamazon:
Chris Brown
Chris Brown all I hear about in what passes for feminist discussion has centered around Chris Brown.
Does HE deserve a second chance.
Is he worth it?
Why do women support him.
And every person with out a blink without a flinch mocked the girls.
I have never heard Chris Brown do that.
ANd i remembered that when I literally gasped at the sheer AMOUNT of girls who...
