[fabulouslyghetto]

By "we" I mean myself and the 1 or 2 other POC that post regularly.

I've invited some friends, make them feel at home. If they ask for your purse just... just give it to em.

Anywho, here we go

I can't do all the heavy lifting here, I've managed to hook Dr Bright Alizie and Dr Nwando Achebe, African historians, to help me with an episode about African LGBT history which is why you bitches have been missing me ever so sorely this past week. I know what a cruel thing it is to deprive you of my light and joy, I'll be back in heavy rotation soon to rule over you miserable wenches.

If you wanna get your panties wet press 'play' and slow-terk for your man to the sounds of the 1993 guiness world record holder Twista who rapped 598 syllables in 55 seconds to earn the honor of fastest rapper. Pop your coochie to black history bitch.

I was going to ask why you waited until the 21st of the month, but I guess this is the answer:

By the way, a movie about Robert Smalls (of whom I hadn't heard) would be awesome.

And someone should make a movie only about Harriet leading the Combahee River Raid to rescue several hundred enslaved people.

I get soooo humbled around academics, these two are so brilliant and I'm pinching myself to make sure it's not a dream that they're working with me. The amount of knowledge I'm getting from them is just sickening.

Always at the top of the list for me - ANGELA DAVIS

In honor of Black History Month, Glasgow Students celebrate people who have impacted the world in which we live. Spotlight #10 is Angela Davis, a famous author, philosopher, and political activist.

Angela Davis was born in 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama. Her career centered around political activism against racism and sexism. She also wanted to reform the police and prison systems as both were heavily corrupt. As a child she grew up in a neighborhood targeted by the KKK, and because of the violence and hatred she witnessed she became very anti-violent and knew she had to make a change. She had witnessed her friends die in the Birmingham Church Bombing and knew she could not rest until equality was the standard.

During college she studied philosophy and became politically conscious during this time. She joined the communist party (which is a political branch of socialism where society is stateless, moneyless, and classless). Additionally, she joined the Che-Lumumba Club, which was an all black sector of the communist party. This is where most of her political activism began, and where she became the icon she is now.

Today, she has various books and still participates in interviews. Angela Davis is an incredibly influential figure for anti-racist activism and deserves to be reconzied for it. She fights for what is right no matter the cost. Her passion is a great inspiration to Glasgow students and her story shows us that no matter what we can follow our passion. Angela Davis’ activism continues to be an inspiration for every student who wants to make a change. We cannot thank her enough for her contributions and she is, and will always be, an idol.

Absent in mind absent in heart.

Get out of my head, no sooner than I open this page I'm on the twitter and someone shared a video of her viewing pictures of her ancestors. I don't know what voodoo my people use but she looks GOOD for a borderline octogenarian, especially considering the life she lived.

And someone should make a movie only about Harriet leading the Combahee River Raid to rescue several hundred enslaved people.

You shall have your wish.

I'd never heard of her until last week when I was swotting up Frederick Douglass and fell down a rabbit hole. I haven't seen the film but while reading her story I thought it would make a good opera.

Harriet isn't just about the Combahee River Raid. That should make a good action film by itself.

There are already two-and-a-half operas about Harriet Tubman and another in which she's a guiding spirit.

I have no doubt that there will be others.

8 years before Stonewall some sailors entered Black Nite, a gay bar in Milwaukee, on a dare. They sarted a fight with the bouncer and got chased out after gender non-conforming queen and navy veteran Josie Carter knocked one out with a bottle. Per most of American history, the brutes returned with backup and destroyed the bar (charges were dropped of course) and the bar was demolished. The Milwaukee County Landmarks Committee is poised to designate the site a local historic landmark.
This is cited as one of the earliest LGBT uprisings in American history. Josie, YOU GO GIRL!
