In case you haven't been told this yet today...you are BEAUTIFUL!

I doubt anybody really wants to know that much about me, but here goes:

I'm 17, I'm going into my freshman year of college, and my zodiac sign is Leo. I am an advocate for equality--semi-feminist and LGBTQ rights. I also despise rape culture and body-shaming!

My posts consist of poetry, pictures, and rants. I reblog and post what I feel; if you don't like it, then don't follow me. It's that simple. I also don't self-promote. If people want to find my blog, they will find it on their own. :3

Anyway, I love you for taking the time to look at my blog. xoxo

Every year white people add 100 years to how long ago slavery was. I’ve heard educated white people say, ‘slavery was 400 years ago.’ No it very wasn’t. It was 140 years ago…that’s two 70-year-old ladies living and dying back to back. That’s how recently you could buy a guy.

Sylvester Magee, the (probable) last American born into slavery died in 1971.

The last living child of former American slaves, Mississippi Winn, died in 2010.

Slavery in the territory that is now the United States lasted more than 330 years. We will be 330 years removed from slavery in the year 2195.
