I am a Chinese revolutionary, guerrilla warfare strategist, poet, political theorist, and leader of the Chinese Revolution. I was the architect and founding father of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from its establishment in 1949, and held authoritarian control over the nation until my death in 1976.

white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna
take my skin colour too
and my dark brown lips
take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty
take the oppression too
take the history of colonization that has devastated my country
and the drones that currently devastate my country
take all the bad stuff too
not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits
take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too

Ice-T, on why Hillary Clinton will be the first female president
The best part about this story is that the Huffington Post (via the AP) decided to explain to us what a “G” is. In case you didn’t know — it’s “the hip-hop term for gangster (a positive thing)”.

No one told me being a history major would mean having to read fanfiction with historical Gary Stus. The best part is that this is about Commander Henry A. Adams’ 15-year-old son. I am glad that nothing has changed.

To @bergamot-tea and @herocountry, who asked about the hot dogs covered in mac and cheese - yes, indeed they are. C. found them on some website under “top 25 comfort foods in NYC,” so of course we had to go. I wasn’t completely sold, but he was adamant that if we did anything in New York, it had to be that. I had the chicken pot pie, which wasn’t nearly as exciting. In fact, it was so boring I didn’t even bother taking a picture of it. >:(
I expertly managed to pack all of what I was going to bring home in a backpack and a carry-on (as opposed to last year, when I paid $100 to ship my luggage and an empty suitcase home), so of course I managed to forget my camera charger and upload cord.
C. came to visit me again, and so did @emes, @JesssyMae, @ameliamw, and Braden, whose tumblr name is too long for me to remember. Breaks have come to mean one thing and one thing only for me: food.
A few of the truly excellent discoveries I made this break include: Taiwanese food (:999999), the Brooklyn Bridge (which I loved so much I promptly returned there appx. 5 more times in the span of a week), Shake Shack (which lived up to all of the hype, even if the cashier misheard me and gave me a hot dog instead of a hot chocolate…), and Gaia’s Italian Cafe (as a warning, anyone who visits me will be taken to lunch here. The most delicious paninis for $5!! and the nicest mother-daughter combo who owns it).

Michael Coard, The Oscars Are Racist
Oh, this is good. This whole article is very very VERY good.
Coard discusses the types of roles that The Academy (italicized for uppity sarcasm and not out of respect or propriety, I assure you) deems worthy of honoring with an award, and the list is pretty disgusting. He also rattles off a laundry list of amazing performances by black actors who did not receive awards for comparison. The difference in the type of roles that get recognized and those that don’t, regardless of how compelling the performances are, is staggering, but sadly, it is not at all surprising.
I always hate award season, but I especially hate this year where everyone feels so self important about loving The Help. I hear Viola Davis was wonderful, but I am very hesitant to hope that she wins the award given the kind of role this is.

Yesterday Harlem rapper and Internet Hip-Hop phenom Azealia Banks who was previously signed to XL Recordings, took to Twitter to announce that she has signed with Universal Music. Banks has also been booked to perform at this year’s Coachella Music Festival, sharing the bill with headliners Dr. Dre. and Snoop Dogg.
Banks have recently been making headlines with her views on some of Hip-Hop’s hottest females out. In an interview with The Hundreds Magazine, Banks stated on why she can’t stand Kreayshawn.
“As much as Kreayshawn would love to be considered part of this ‘rap game,’ she’s not ,” she explained. “I guess a part of me is kind of annoyed that those white girls are making these songs, and it’s like if these girls were black and making the same songs would you be that interested?”
As for Ms. Minaj, Banks also had a few words.
“The butt, the hair, the this, the that, all the other shit, like… As much respect that I have for her, we’ve seen you do this already, what else can you do?”
Interesting.
Wait, there are people who actually like Kreayshawn?
I LOVE THIS WOMAN. Love her so much that I will just agree to disagree with her about Nicki Minaj.
Always reblog for Kreayshawn-crit.
