‘The Scandinavian country is an education superpower because it values equality more than excellence.’

I refuse to obediently follow every postulate stated by...

sourcedumal:
Once again, whiteness is saying “stay in your station, colored folk… You aren’t supposed to be in the spotlight.” They did it to Tara, Mercedes, Martha, Bonnie, and now they are doing it to the hypothetical addition of a black man to the spotlight.
Whiteness is having a fit, thrashing and writhing about as its influence is being destroyed. I love every moment of it.
If there is a...

From of-praxis,

Won't lose
bornthisbrown:
can’t stop, won’t stop.. sorry, back to the subject. So I’m on week 12 of working my asylum case. I was suppose to hear back 2 weeks ago regarding my finger prints from the FBI. We’re waiting on what my status in the US is. Even though I’m undocumented, I was deported when I was 15 and may be worse off then just an undocumented person. Depending on what my sentence was it may...
