queennubian: chocol8luv: The term “negro”...

Things that are changing: My hair, my viewpoints, my reactions to the outside world, my perception of myself.

Things that are not: My ethnicity, my love for my people, my tolerance for ignorance, especially in that regard.

Things that I am: Brown. Musical. Peaceful, Vulnerable. Quiet. Open-minded. Young at heart. Sometimes hypomanic.

Things I am not: Willing to suffer fools

I am still learning. I still fuck up sometimes. Please correct me when I do.

chocol8luv:

The term “negro” developed from a word in the Spanish language which is actually an adjective (describing word) meaning “black,” that is, the color black. In plain English, if someone said or was called a “black” or a “dark,” even a young child would very naturally question. “A black what?” or “A dark what?” because adjectives do not name, they describe. Please take note that in order to make use of this mechanism, a word was transferred from another language and deceptively changed in function from an adjective to a noun, which is a naming word. Its application in the nominative (naming) sense was intentionally used to portray persons in a position of objects or “things.” It stamps the article as being “all alike and all the same.” It denotes: a “darkie,” a slave, a subhuman, an ex-slave, a “negro.” — Malcolm X

Irony….
