HEY
Hamilton: An American Musical portrays the founding fathers in a far more positive light than they deserve and neglects to mention the horrific impact these men had on both African Americans as a collective and the individual Black people they interacted with and portrays America through rose-tinted glasses
AND
Hamilton : An American Musical was instrumental in igniting a new wave of musical appreciation and modern musicals that sparked a generation's interest in history while also giving recognition and roles to incredible Actors and Actresses of color and is a musical masterpiece

The entire point of Imane’s season is to get the audience to see what a muslim woman of colour sees (the everyday racism and microaggressions), rather than what you as a white viewer might see or, to be more accurate, what you might miss. Questioning Imane’s pov and siding with Ingrid or the comments the girls are making is you quite literally disregarding the purpose of Imane’s season.
the fact that smaller artists are posting about this too and supporting taylor really hurts because if theyre doing this to taylor swift then theyre doing it to smaller, less influential artists too.
A gentle reminder that even if you haven’t finished a book in days, months or years, but you still love books, that you’re still a bookworm.
You know why? Because books will always be there for you when you’re ready to go visit.
Please guys make sure your Black Panther tickets say Black Panther. Don’t let the movie theatres try and tell you they ran out of tickets and are just giving you a ticket under a different movie’a name. It’s take away from the official counting to see how many people actually saw the movie. DONT JUST LIKE THIS POST SHARE IT TO LET EVERYONE ELSE KNOW!
About an hour ago, I was in Walmart looking for my conditioner because today is wash day for my hair. As I’m looking for my product, this older white lady approaches me and she says, “Excuse me, miss. Please don’t be offended by this.” And usually when white people tell me not to be offended, 9 times out of 10, whatever they are about to say is going to be offensive af.
Anyway, she follows it up with, “My husband and I just recently won our custody battle with our foster daughter and she means the world to us. She’s a beautiful African American girl and her hair looks a lot like yours. But I’m afraid because I don’t know what to do with her hair. It’s a lot different from mines and our other children and we are at a total loss. I’ve tried looking up the YouTube videos and my husband went to the braiding shops so they can teach him how to properly braid her hair, but he’s still pretty new and it will be a while before he gets used to it. Do you have any tips you can give me? If you don’t have the time, it’s okay, really! I just needed a little advice because I want her to look beautiful.”
Y’all. swear I almost started crying on aisle 6. So for the last 30 minutes, I spent my time talking to her and what products to use and how to properly detangle and comb her hair with the proper tools and what not to do with natural hair. And I showed her a bunch of easier to follow natural hair tutorials on YouTube and saved them for her. (I also had to create a YouTube account for her so she could save it for later.) but omfg, she was so sweet, and I could tell that she listened to every single thing I had to say and she took little notes on her little notepad.
And what really filled my heart was the fact that her husband actually taking classes from African braiding shops. And she showed me a picture of him wearing a little sweater vest and loafers in a little shop surrounded by beautiful black women showing him how to braid black hair and even the lady he’s braiding on is guiding his hands. And omfg. Bless these old white people and their black daughter who I know have new loving parents because they are willing to step out of their comfort zone just to make her feel and look beautiful.
I really hope our paths cross again one day, Mrs Cicilia. 💖💕
