Let me just add some color to the wlw side of tumblr…
There’s one actress in this post who has played a queer character on three… not one not two, three different shows
UPDATE…
Finally reached 100
For those who don’t know these women, you can find the shows for the 68 women from my original post listed below. I didn’t keep a list of the shows for the 32 characters added on updates but a google search of their names should pull up their tv/streaming/youtube series. #RepresentationMatters
So about this project. For awhile now I’ve noticed almost every single time I see a darker skinned black woman “going viral”, she’s half naked, oiled up, and/or sexualized in some way shape or form. It’s very rarely ever “Look at this amazing dark skinned woman who accomplished this thing.” Or “Look at her smile, she’s gorgeous”. Please don’t misinterpret what I’m saying. There is nothing wrong with darker women and black women in general being free and expressive about their sexuality and provocative features. BUT that is NOT ALL they are. They are so much more than sexual beings, but for some reason, that seems to be almost the only thing that grabs viral appreciation. So here’s my attempt to have darker skinned black women go viral for just being cute, creative, stylish, bubbly, beautiful, and black. Aside from the videographer EVERYONE involved in this project IS A BLACK WOMAN. I hope you guys like it. I ask that if you enjoyed this and agree with my objective, share it with a few people please.
A special thank you to @aggienes, I couldn’t have done this without her.
why are non-millennials so personally offended by everything? like if i’m still wearing my jacket indoors, it’s because i’m cold, not because i disrespect your home/your classroom !! if somebody has got your order wrong, it’s because they’re very busy and simply made a mistake, not because they’re trying to jeopardise your meal !! if somebodies phone rings during a meeting/lecture, it’s because they accidentally forgot to put it on silent, not because they want to disrupt your speech !! just calm down, sharon, not everything is about you
my personal favorite is when you yawn and they’re like “am I boring you?”
like bitch i’m running on five hours of sleep and chronic anxiety
its funny how you say non-millennials as if millennials aren’t offended bei every little tiny thing that could possibly happen
being offended by wearing a coat inside is very different to being offended by violent racism but sure enjoy your tea
