“So, you’re hip. You’re smart. You’ve got class. And when you say “Some of My Best Friends are X”, you want people to know that there is credibility behind that statement. What’s the best way to show it? By having a black best friend!
Your black best friend is sassy. She’s never too busy to lend an ear, or come along on your wacky schemes. She is flawless to the point of being unreal. (Unless there’s the occasional situation of either having a problem with her race or her relationship with you.) Is it because she has no love life, no apartment, and no family? It’s hard to say, but there’s one thing for sure. She has a cell phone, and never ignores your calls.” from tvtropes
I’m tired of the X best friend bullshit… What made me draw this mostly was a gif from True Blood… and remembering Tara went in front of a fucking shot gun for Snookie and got her brains blown out.
…Fuck Snookie. And all supposed white best friends like her.
I love that this is what resides inside my best friend’s brain. <3
We are not safe. Safe is not a ‘feeling’ POC in America can ever really have. In the house, what is going to fly through your window? Who is going to knock down your door? Outside? Everything and anything can happen outside. If you live in a bad neighborhood, everything bad can happen. If you live in a good neighborhood, everything bad can happen. Safety is the moment that passed already where that awful terrible thing didn’t occur and your still breathing. Haven’t seen a truer drawing yet…smh <3
At first I was going to go with ‘I don’t feel safe here’ but that is bullshit. Tea Party people don’t feel safe; when they can openly show they have guns on their person, have drawings of the president lynched and speak openly and forcefully about their ‘belief system’. No harm has ever, ever, come to them. But they don’t feel safe. Prezident’ gonna take der guns, and what not. But overall, in comparison to POC they are safe. They are super safe.
I got my new pen!! Thought I’d test it out~ Quick little doodle. I’m terrible at lines but I tried :) This is pretty much my response to a lot of people who have reblogged the woman with the afro I drew. There have been quite a lot of comments I’ve seen on my dash, some people felt ‘uncomfortable’ with the racial undertones, others posted ‘THIS WOULD BE ME IF I WAS SASSY BLACK WOMAN!’ and fruit basket assortment of stupidity basically. I don’t care for it honestly. But thats the price of posting something on the internet ♥ ~
I don’t know if this would be better if it was just lines… also I hope my handwriting is okay if its hard to read just tell me and I’ll work on the lettering. The TRUTH <3

This post is about to be heavy. Yesterday I came in contact with a wave of emotions and based on those events, I’m not sure if I should be upset with myself, or (Japanese) society.
A few days before some of the other Black Professional musicians said they I needed more pictures and even…
