So, I’m tryna be all proactive and stuff filling out various applications for Senior Year stuff, summa stuff, etc. I’m actually doing this stuff more than a few weeks ahead of time (thank you spring break).
I’m almost finished with one rough draft and then I feel the anxiety start to creep in and all of a sudden I don’t want to do any of this. I’m telling myself how ‘bout I just watch TV and enjoy 4 more days of break instead of burning myself out before school even starts (even though I know this extra stuff will only make my schedule more hectic than I need).
Because I’m usually procrastinating, I’m trying to wait for that expresso shot of worry to creep in and get me to start writing. In my head, looking at all of these tasks overwhelms me. It’s funny cuz, I have time to break up my work into small pieces and do a brainstorm and a couple rough drafts. I can do my work days at a time instead of one day and a couple hours at a time. Looks like procrastination has really got my mind messed up whether it’s my intention or not. Tryna fix that. Pray for me/send some happy thoughts, ya’ll.

The more TV I watch, the more trash I realize it’s on. Sure, there are great informational stations (that I haven’t started watching)…maybe that’s why? But everything else, including the news is trash. Oh yeah, Good Times is a a show that has a message about issues in Black America in every episode…and it actually makes me laugh. Every other channel has back to back shows about people’s lives that ultimately keep us from ourselves. For example, I really like the show intervention, it’s inspiring to see people change and I like the way that the psychologist (or whoever they are) talk to the family and friends about their roles and how they can use those roles to help the people they love. But the more I watch it, the more I realize it’s keeping me from working with my own issues, homework, relationship with God. Even the news is like reality TV and there’s depression and it perpetuates stereotypes. What news source are we supposed to TRUST, is there one!?
Well, there ya have it…my TV rant. TV is trash and I’m working on taking it out.

African-Inspired “Et Dieu Créa La Femme” Collections By Ghanaian Designer Serwah Asante Of Rue 114
Rue 114 is inspired by and created for women who believe that every shape and size should be celebrated as beautiful. This season, Rue 114 is proud to present its Intro 2012 Capsule Collection, “Et Dieu Créa La Femme” (And God Created Woman). The collection is an homage to and celebration of the female form at all its sizes. Beauty is too mysterious, too coy, too “Saturday night” to be confined into a size 6. The Rue 114 design aesthetic is deeply informed by what it means to be a modern woman of the world, and as such, the inspiration for each collection is limitless. This season, bold African prints in sexy and feminine silhouettes serve as the palette for the Rue 114 introductory collection.

So yall know I’m going to keep 100…I made a Twitter for Fuckyeahfamousblackgirls as you know, I follow about 200 people. I search up certain celebrities: news, good, uplifting comments by people of them. So of course as you know, ignorant shit is retweeted on your timeline probably daily.
The dark skin-fucking-light skin bullshit was retweeted on my timeline a few times. And it was all fucking disgusting. I searched “dark skin” in the search and while I did see like four really cute, sensible and positive messages which really made me smile, this was the majority in a 40 minute span of tweets for the word “dark skin” were still just appalling. And most of the tweets were praising dark-skinned guys and downing dark-skinned women: everything from dark-skinned women have no right wearing red lipstick and pink lipsticks, blonde hair, certain colors of clothing to attractive dark skinned women being a rarity, like 1 out of a million. This shit has to stop!
I don’t know what it’s like to be a dark skinned woman, so I don’t know if the internet exaggerates how you’re ridiculed and treated in your every day life, but what I see on the internet every day from my own people makes me wonder where we are headed.
To every dark skinned person (not just females) I’m apologizing as an African American to you for your beauty being misunderstood, for your existence being made into a joke because of mind control placed upon the African American community. It hurts me because I’m Black. I see you hurting and I hurt. I see the self-hatred and I hurt. I think you’re BEAUTIFUL, REGAL and I see my ancestors when I see you so it’s something that fucks with me. The division of us really looks pathetic. As you’ve seen, we’ve been on a serious dark-skin spam because we’re so fucking sick and tired of people still feeding into this mindless, cow shit.
You know what bothers me most? I’ve noticed that about 80 percent of the tweets are by dark skinned people themselves. Are we suffering that severely from self-hatred? Like these people are making these delusional tweets as if they are light-skinned and as if making fun of other dark-skinned people makes them one of the “light skinned” people.
My mission for all of you is, whether your light, brown or dark as midnight, if you follow people on Twitter who degrade dark-skinned people, don’t laugh it off and constantly take it. Don’t encourage it. Unfollow them.
You listen to a Lil Wayne track or another rapper’s song and he’s clowning on dark-skinned women…Recycle bin that bullshit. We need to take a stand against this. We’ve been tolerate with this behavior for so fucking long and it’s about to be 2012.
Do you know that the retweets of these were typically by dark-skinned females? Do better babies. Please make sure you tell your nieces, cousins and daughters that they are beautiful because I’d hate for them to be the assholes in the photoset and bullying other dark-skinned black people.
