A TRIBE CALLED RED TONIGHT WITH 5 OF MY BEST...
I have not been so excited about a birthday since I was 8 and I knew suspected that my parents were getting me a Lisa Frank sticker box ( with hundreds of stickers!) - the one with the otters and other marine life!

Please stop reblogging those photos of the ‘Miami Zombie’ attack. The man that was attacked has a name, it’s Ronald Poppo. He is 65 years old and he is in critical condition, fighting for his life. There isn’t anything funny about this situation. It really disturbs me that so many folks are not even thinking twice about circulating graphic photos...

I can’t believe I’m his finding out about the Cesar Chavez biopic and how Michael Pena is staring in it and Diego Luna is directing and there will be a small cameo from Gael Garcia Bernal and queen Rosario Dawson is playing Dolores Huerta!!!
This kinda maybe makes up for Gael and Diego being in that pos Will Ferrell movie.
Omg, Rosario Dawson will play Dolores Huerta?!?!?!

There are two reasons to criticize something: because you understand it or because you don’t. And sometimes a person will think they understand what they are criticizing, but they don’t.

i’m saying, the shit is sad, a man died and another one is forever scarred, he’ll never be able to live a normal life…
skinlikeautumnleaves said: i’d also add that the man that did the attacking was also a human being… and not a zombie or a monster. a tragedy all the way around.

I look like a runaway slave to you? As in…free? lol. How terrible it must be for you to see Black people who own their own bodies! Who have the nerve to act like we don’t exist for your consumption! That must be so awful! Maybe you should cry about it?

biculturallatina asked: Okay. Let me break this shit down: 1) Financial aid should be need based. Doesn't matter what race the person who got the scholarship is. HE/SHE DOESNT NEED IT. WHETHER WHITE OR BLACK. 2) This shit with diddy's son only gives opponents of affirmative action the ammo they need, saying that funds are given to minorities regardless of their monetary situation. 3) instituations like UCLA...

socialwerq asked: I'm also sure being the child of someone who is really wealthy helped him earn good grades and such. His dad could afford to get him a tutor, if he needed one. The wealthy have lots of resources that the working class don't. I do agree that need blind scholarships need to look at need because someone whose parents earn $250K doesn't NEED a scholarship as badly as someone whose...
Anonymous asked: Something else that's infuriating: people who get full scholarships and then go to school, don't give two fucks about learning, and just goof off all the time. I knew a girl who had a full ride and lost it after a year because she never went to classes and got shit grades, put herself in over $16,000 of debt over the next year and a half, and then got kicked out.
