“ I grew up hard and am still hard and I don’t care. I did not choose this face or this body and I have learned to live with it and love it and celebrate it and adorn it with tremendous drawings from the greatest artists in the world and I feel good and powerful like a nation that has never been free and now after many hard won victories is finally fucking free. I am beautiful and I am finally fucking free.

I fly my flag of self-esteem for all those who have been told they were ugly and fat and hurt and shamed and violated and abused for the way they look and told time and time again that they were “different” and therefore unlovable. Come to me and I will tell you and show you how beautiful and loved you are and you will see it and feel it and know it and then look in the mirror and truly believe it. If you are offended by my anger and my might at defending my borders and my people you do not deserve entry into my beloved and magnificent country.

Margaret Cho (via bigfatfeminist)

Margaret Cho is awesome.

And yeah, it’s a big issue for marginalized groups to feel attractive. WoC in particular have the same issues as white women in that they’re seen as incapable of leadership, punished for being too emotional, punished for being not emotional enough, and so on, but then unlike white women, they’re not exactly desirable either.

there was a test done at some film school where they gave all these students pictures of different people, like white men, MoC, white women, and some WoC. They were told to cast them in a fake movie with descriptions on their roles.

Unsurprisingly, white men had the most varied roles. They were interesting, complex, dynamic heroes (always heroes). MoC were usually flat sidekicks, with nothing much to do. White women were motherly figures or love interests, always hot of course. And WoC? Ha, WoC were drug addicts, harpies, shrews, occasionally exotic and sexy, Asian dragon ladies, Black mammies, you get the point. Racist and sexist stereotypes all over the damn place.

This is how people view WoC, such as Margaret Cho, and the immense strength it takes to become confident even after the way society pushes you should be acknowledged.

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: The Trayvon Martin gun-range target was bad enough. Then a bunch of white kids had to go and launch multiple #Trayvoning Facebook groups (that have since been removed).

Trayvoning is like Tebowing, except totally the opposite — white (and apparently, black) kids pose as a gunshot victim, wearing a hoodie, and holding Skittles and an iced tea, which is what Martin had on him when George Zimmerman shot him to death in February.

Facebook group members said they were merely combating “racism against whites”: “White people are becoming more and more oppressed.”

[hypervocal]

This is all kinds of stupid. Really? SMH at the world. SMH for real.
