This is why hook ups are difficult

Because I’m like, oh he’s nice　

but what if he believes we live in a post-racial society?

omg i used to think this all the time 

what if under that pretty hair and pretty face, there’s someone who believes in reverse racism? 

that means i touched my lips to the lips of someone who believes colorblindness works

me at night:

I'm going to try so hard at school from now on. I'll finish my assignments and study every night because it will make exams so much easier. I'll also spend more time with my family and less time on the internet in my room. I'll eat healthier and exercise regularly. I will be a better person, and give more than i take. I will treat every day like it's my last because you only live once. I will live a greater life.

me the next morning:

fuck that shit

Things no one tells you:

• Having sex doesn’t make you a whore.
• Not having sex doesn’t make you a saint.
• You don’t have to have kids if you don’t want to.
• You are the only person who has rights over your body.
• You are no one to judge others.
• “Femininity” is not anti-feminist. 
• Verbal harassment is not flattery. 
• If something makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to endure it.
• You don’t owe anything to anyone.

"If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow."

John Dewey

"We must be very careful to avoid the use of the term “tribe” to describe these ethnic groups. “Tribe,” Ukpo points out, is largely a racist term. The Ibo and Hausa-Fulani of Nigeria are each made up of five to ten million people, a figure comparable to the number of, say, Scots, Welsh, Armenians, Serbs or Croats. Yet we do not refer to the latter groups as “tribes.” The term “tribe” is almost exclusively, and very indifferently, applied to peoples of Native American or African origin. It is a label which emerged with imperialism in its application to those who were non-European and lived in a “colonial or semi-colonial dependency…in Asia, Africa and Latin America” (14). As we are attempting to discard the prejudices of imperialism it is in our best interests to discard the use of the term “tribe” when referring to the ethnic groups of Nigeria."

Ethnicity in Nigeria

Why people should not even think of using the word “tribe”.
