It's feeling like psychological torture, esp against the backdrop of state-sanctioned murder and the #BlackLivesMatter movement... our bodies, our music, our fashion, our lips, our hair everything about us is ripe for the picking by people WHO DO NOT TREAT US WELL.

BLACK CULTURE IS NOT WHITE CULTURE. AS MUCH AS I LOVE BLACK CULTURE I KNOW IT IS NOT MINE TO BE HAD. STOP WITH THE BRAIDS WHITE GIRLS.
