Day 11 of #BlackHistoryYouDidntLearnInSchool - Ruby Bridges

I recognize that some of y’all learned about Ruby Bridges in school, so did I. But in school, I didn’t realize how difficult and harsh the conditions were for Ruby Bridges. I wasn’t taught that there were crowds each day threatening her, that her family was ostracized and lost their land and jobs, that she received death threats while in school. Some of the black history we learn in school is downplayed. The fact that Ruby Bridges attended an all-white school is radical and important. I want people to know that. We went over it in history class as if it was nothing and that to me is inexcusable. That is how much of my education about black history in school has gone and I’m not for that.

Pop culture has affected feminism in a very strange way.

“I don’t mind being called a weirdo. There are a lot of people in hip-hop who are probably never going to get what I do. But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper.” — Interview

But this is the “beef” between Nicki and Taylor that people have been talking about.

I guess Nicki has had enough of the shenanigans and snubs that these award shows throw towards black, female artists, and as is typical of white feminism, Taylor Swift came in to stop the girl-on-girl hate!

I’m here for Nicki and every one of the tweets/retweets she’s made this evening

Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.
