“The origins of the taco are really unknown. My theory is that it dates from the 18th century and the silver mines in Mexico, because in those mines the word “taco” referred to the little charges they would use to excavate the ore. These were pieces of paper that they would wrap around…
Thug Life
I get tired of mutherluvas repping Pac without knowing shit about him. Especially white hipsters who try to erase the fact that he was the son of a black panther. and those black folk who think the black panthers were a para military group out to get whitey.
No, no and no.
The reason Pac repped thug life so hard is because he knew thats the only way anyone in the United States gets POWER. He sought inspiration from the Irish Gangs of New York in the early 1850’s.
and Quite possibly from the Thugee groups in India (where Thug gets its name)
Tupac believed that if black people organized themselves they could take back their neighborhoods and eventually negotiate life on their own terms. Look @ the Italians and The Irish.
The diff tho is that black people have self hatred. Other non blacks dont have that. they have pride in their cultures and their homelands. blacks on the other hand would sell drugs to their own people (the crack era). and we continue to do that shit because we are educated in the same halls of white america.
wasnt it X who said never let ur enemy educate your children?
but damn
thug life is not some slogan or some catch phrase
it has a deeper meaning
thats why mama’s like Nikki Giovanni would tat stuff like that on their skin
I need to reblog this cause it’s fucking appropriate for right now.

Reblogging because I didn’t know this. I somehow thought ‘thug life’ was a glorification of a vicious circle of violence and lack of formal education.

my neck is quite sore
OH MY GOODNESS I TOLD YOU I WOULD SLEEP ON THE FLOOR! I’m print screening this post only to rub it in your face should I ever again engage in sleepovers. In other news, your bed was marvelous and I slept like a log :D
Haha noooooo it was not sore because of that
my neck is usually sore
Mum would say this is because I have terrible posture
she is probably right
Celly will now become your ballet mistress and you will know the ways of The Spinal Position.
Also for an age I have thought your icon to be a tiny dog. It’s actually a chick with mad kohl eyes? :\
Trust.
How many times have I broken it, and how many times more will I come to break it? Still I rely on it, still I am defined by it. We are defined by it.

“ For some reason, it is entirely OK for a strange man I don’t know to approach me in the street and tell me he’d like to violently stick his hard cock in my anus. If I turned around and say, spat on him or stabbed his eye out with a fork, this would not be OK. Moreover, if I tried to press charges, I have the stinking suspicion that without a physical assault my complaint wouldn’t be taken entirely seriously. And yet the same man gets caught taking a piss in a public place and he’s a sexual offender in the eyes of the law. ARE FERAL LANEWAYS AND BRICK WALLS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WOMEN? ”

Sometimes even with physical assault, the cops don’t take complaints seriously. Basically if a woman is making the complaint, it will not be taken seriously.

“ People get really irritated by mental illness. ‘Just fucking get it together! Suck it up, man!’ I had a breakdown, and a spiritual friend came to visit me in the psych ward. And they said, ‘You need to get out of here. Because this is the story you’re telling yourself. You know, Patch Adams has this great work-group camp where you can learn how to really celebrate life.’ It’s something people are so powerless over, and so often they want to make it your fault. It’s nobody fault. I started thinking of suicide when I was 10 years old—I can’t believe that that’s somebody’s fault. Like, ‘Oh, you’re just an attention getter.’ Mental illness isn’t seen as an illness, it’s seen as a choice…. I have a joke about how people don’t talk about mental illness the way they do other regular illnesses. ‘Well, apparently Jeff has cancer. Uh, I have cancer. We all have cancer. You go to chemotherapy you get it taken care of, am I right? You get back to work.’ Or: ‘I was dating this chick, and three months in, she tells me that she wears glasses, and she’s been wearing contact lenses all this time. She needs help seeing. I was like, listen, I’m not into all that Western medicine shit. If you want to see, then work at it. Figure out how not to be so myopic. You know?’ ”
americans we have problems too
we’re just like you
except we’re free
Sometimes I am jealous of your humour blog yak. Sometimes I just want to post shallow giggle-inducing pictures too. So I post them late at night (tehe)!
