Reblog and tell me when your birthday is and what significant date in history that happens to be!
Mine is December 1st, which is also the date that Rosa Parks famously sat on the bus and refused to get up and give it to a white man, thus kickstarting the boycott! Yeah, little me was pretty damn ecstatic when she heard that news, and it is quite fitting, might I say?
Your turn!
Ooh editing because I forgot to say that I share the same birthday as Janelle Monae as well, don’t mess with me.
it’s interesting seeing some blk stans encouraging or applauding black female artists for “pulling a tina turner” and not cater to blk community and fulfill their expectations of blackness bc why has this been a pattern for decades (centuries) to mistreat bw in the public eye so cruelly that they have to move to a different country and/or focus on foreign fans who are more respectful and loyal??
