Black People Confessions: Lord, Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black? → blackpeopleconfessions.tumblr.com

Why did You make me someone the world wants to hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes; the color of grimy hands and feet.

Black is the color of darkness; the color of tire-beaten streets.

Why did you give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair?

Why did You make me someone…

“Faith does not have an expiration date, Taurus. A while ago you decided to believe in something - holding out “faith” that it would get better, or that you would get something you wanted very much. But it has not happened in the time frame that you had expected and hoped for. But that does not mean that it won’t happen. Faith is important, because it maintains good energy around you, and helps you to draw in your desires. Keep the faith. Keep believing. Your faith will be rewarded.” —

My school is closing.

Already hard to say goodbye because my program ends next week for this school year.

Harder to say goodbye to faces you may never see again.

Not outraged, not angered.

Just pray for their future and that a little of Ms.P inspired them to love life, strive for greater, and always work towards becoming the best version of themselves.

And no matter what they say…keep a song in your heart.

Im reading comments and a few blog posts where people are criticizing the pictures from the Morehouse commencement where it rained and the grads got wet.

Criticisms about Morehouse not having a “rain plan” in place for the ceremony. Criticisms about how the institution was not…

“You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.” —

When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials arent’ buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)

Every time someone says we’re a lazy and entitled generation I’m going to show them this

They should be happy most of us haven’t moved to the moon yet

That actually sounds like a good idea at this point
