Gabrielle Union: I’m Cool With Being 40
Gabby got some of you 20-somethings looking like chopped liver out here. Give this woman all of the awards.
black don’t crack we been tellin yall
For those of you who criticize Janelle’s signature monochromatic look.
From her speech on “Black Girls Rock”:
“When I started my music career, I was a maid. I used to clean houses. My mother was a proud janitor. My stepfather, who raised me like his very own, worked at the post office and my father was a trashman. They all wore uniforms and that’s why I stand here today, in my black and white, and I wear my uniform to honor them.
This is a reminder that I have work to do. I have people to uplift. I have people to inspire. And today, I wear my uniform proudly as a Cover Girl. I want to be clear, young girls, I didn’t have to change who I was to become a Cover Girl. I didn’t have to become perfect because I’ve learned throughout my journey that perfection is the enemy of greatness.
Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.” - Janelle Monáe
So, I’ll just add this to the list of reasons to love her.
Reblog if you could use a vacation in this resort!

"There’s a stereotype that black people are lazy. I don’t know if that’s true, but I know white people went all the way to Africa to get out of doing work."

It’s called cultural differences. African traditional society advanced more slowly than European society hence they developed the technology to travel and fuck up history. Our tribal social structure didn’t make us prone to crazy ass greed hence not having the need to “colonize” places. Ugh I don’t even wanna get started
