“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.” — John (Fire) Lame Deer, Sioux Lakota, 1903-1976.

I have to say, even if Raven Symone is lesbian, she’s still the same Raven to me.
Honestly, too me, if she’s happy, than that’s all that matters. It doesn’t effect me wether she is or not. It doesn’t make her different. It doesn’t make her weird. She’s still my role model. She’s still the person I have looked up to since I was little. She’ll always be my hero, and role model. No matter whom she loves.

Video reblogged from Black History
A short film and poem I wrote to highlight the struggles that many black women face when it comes to embracing our natural hair texture and that despite living in a society that often places nappy and unattractive in the same category, we too are BEAUTIFUL NATURALLY
I hope you like it and share it

Hey Kitty Kats,
Here’s an awesome interview with one half of the amazing duo running this blog, Kirsten Kennedy! She’s a rising senior majoring in Human Development and Psychological Services with a minor in Integrated Marketing Communications. Read on to learn more about her and her crazy curly journey.
How long have you been natural?
I’d say since late 2010.
What made you decide to go natural?
Well I was bored and perms were too expensive lol.
Describe your hair journey.
My hair was permed and styled in a bob but started breaking, so I cut it. I went through the Rihanna phase with short interesting hairstyles, but I got bored again, so I decided to go natural. When I went home the next month, around Dec 2010, I had my mom cut the perm off and got used to it, so I started growing it out. Around Spring Break I wanted my mom to cut it, but she cut it super short in the front. We both freaked out and went to the barber the next day who shaved all her hair off and dyed it…so I came back to school with super short, brown hair, and loved it for a very long time. It was still maintenance though, which was hard work. I’m now at the point where I’m exploring where my hair can take me in regards to lengths. I’m excited for where I’ll be this summer, next year, etc.
What are your go-to products?
1. Water in a spray bottle
2. Coconut oil from Whole Foods
3. Curls Unleashed product from Walgreens. I’m just trying it, but it detangles, is great for twist outs, and is really moisturizing for my hair.
What makes you choose to stay natural?
The expense…it’s not the biggest reason but it’s a factor - it’s cheaper! I also think natural hair is great…it’s me, Raw Kirsten. I just think it looks better and is more fitting for me to have natural hair than when I had perms…there’s nothing wrong with perms/weaves, but it think natural is more becoming on me…now I’m like hey, I love it!
Describe your hair for us!
It’s thick, coarse I guess too. I tried to figure out the classification but I don’t know what it is…some parts are 4a and some are like, a 4z haha!, but that’s pretty much the sides. The top will curl but the sides are like, Don King….I’ve embraced every inch of it.
Who is your favorite blog/vlogger/naturalista?
· Colored Beautiful - Youtube; She used to have perms but decided to go natural. She does makeup, dyes her hair, and other fun things.
· MyNaturalSistas on YouTube are three sisters that are natural and blog together, tons of great stuff from them!
What is your favorite hairstyle?
I am in LOVE with my newly discovered twist-out. It’s my new fave, preferably when it’s a day or two old.
What is one tip/insight you’d like to share with others?
Take risks! It’s hair, it grows back. I’ve been basically bald with like….short short hair, almost a fade! Honestly, if my mom hadn’t cut my hair, it wouldn’t have been that short. Take risks!!
Anything else?
I encourage people (if you’re going natural) to talk to your friends. If you’re natural look at videos, you can spend hours getting lost in them, but it’s wonderful exploration. Now I get to see new things from a new perspective and it’s great.
:D

I’ve been noticing that the darker the population of the
U.S. gets the whiter television & films get….& on top of that I’ve notified the media trying to set up like there’s racial conflict (in many cases there is…the construct of “race” is a huge issue here) between all the races…whether it be the infamous black vs white, white vs brown and so on. I just feel like its all a distraction and a way to divide, conquer, & take control. Race is a big issue but its a irrelevant one especially when POVERTY is the biggest issue … -
