Jahessye Shockley's mother claims media attention... →
A vigil was held Saturday evening for 5-year-old Jahessye Shockley who has been missing now for 11 days from her Glendale apartment.
But moments prior to the vigil, Jahessye Shockley’s mother made some angry statements that seemed to contradict their prior attempts to get more media attention to the case.
“You put all this negative media out there. I was trying to get away from my ex-husband....
I just got this e-mail in response to my...

South Dakota Profits When Native Kids Get Thrown... →
A year-long NPR News investigation has found that nearly 700 Native American children in South Dakota are being removed from their homes every year. In South Dakota, Native American children make up less than 15 percent of the child population, yet they make up more than half of the children in foster care. Nearly 90 percent of them are in non-native homes or group homes, according to analysis...

I’m black.
I’m black and South east Asian, East Asian, Native and White.
I am all those things at one time.
And people think I am ashamed of my self when I say that.
I will
NEVER
EVER
meet parts of my family
because I’m black.
When I consider racial histories that form my family they are Black-Asian within the context of white colonialism.
I have cultural markers that...
oh. another thing.
i came to the realization that it really is okay to find platforms other than rage or anger to stand on. because rage and anger take too much of me/ from me. i don’t get to be very expansive in anger or rage. as big as they might make me sound, that shit is smoke and mirrors in so many instances. i’m bigger than those platforms, anyway.
yup.
i still need a computer.
so i’m doing shit away from the net.
i am also looking at/ applying for jobs, staying away from houses of bullshit, and fixing myself.

urbanuncertainty:
blackness is not oppression.
just because you are oppressed, doesn’t mean you get to claim blackness.
gay is not the new black
woman is not the nigger of the world
just because you grew up around black people doesn’t allow you to claim blackness
just because you have that one black friend doesn’t mean you get to claim blackness
black is new black, black is the old black,...

Suspect: Officer, I need to clean myself up.
Bro: Clean--what're you talking about?
Suspect: PLEASE, just take me to the bathroom.
Bro: Aight, man, c'mon. (walks him into the bathroom) You have to use the urinal.
Suspect: I can't go into the stall?
Bro: No, I can't let you do that. I'm sorry.
Suspect: But, I really, REALLY need to clean myself.
Bro: I still don't know what--
Suspect: Y'all scared the shit out of me chasing me!
Bro: Huh?!
Suspect: (grabs paper towels and wipes his ass) LOOK MAN! I TOLD YOU!
Bro: Whoooaaa! Man, you scared the shit out of yourself because you ran!
Suspect: I thought y'all knew about the robberies.
Bro: Well, we damn sure know now.
Suspect: I mean---fuck!
tomorrow's storm makes me stabby.
