YES.

Lovely art! And a wonderful concept. ♥

If they control the seed, they control food. they know it. It’s strategic. It’s more powerful than bombs; it’s more powerful than guns. This is the best way to control the populations of the world.

via deafmuslimpunx: how many non-black pocs react to anti-black racism:
-
black person:
please know that other pocs are measured on the blackness scale. note how white people would come up with slurs such as "sand niggers", "yellow niggers", etc. it shows that being black is pretty much the worse thing on earth, and that we'll always be oppressed due to anti-black racism.
-
non-black poc:
NO STOP PLAYING OPPRESSION OLYMPICS. WE ALL FACE RACISM. STOP SAYING THAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE IT WORSE.
-
black person:
i'm aware that we all experience racism. however, anti-black racism is prevalent in every poc community including our own. it's pretty fund--
-
non-black poc:
NO. WE ALL FACE RACISM STOP BEING SO IRRATIONAL! I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WANTED SOLIDARITY?!
-
black person:
we do, but in order to fight solidarity we need to fight anti-black---
-
non-black poc:
IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU SHUT UP. YOU GUYS ALWAYS ARE UP IN ARMS AND HAVE NO COHESIVE ARGUMENT.
-
black person:
but i'm trying to explain--
-
non-black poc:
STOP IT!!
-
biyuti:
Just putting this here 'cause it is painfully true.
-
brownpeople:
really important and true. solidarity with fighting anti-blackracism, does not mean downplaying it, so we can quickly ALL talk about interconnected oppressions. Its about honouring the haitian slave revolt, the work of black folks in the diaspora, all of that, as work and struggle that must be respected first and foremost.
-
For real -- thanks for posting this. I don't want to be at the opression olympics, but I also refuse to skip a step (recognizing the violent hate thrown at black folks) in order to move on from there. there is no moving on. its real. we must see it, speak it, and listen to those who live it.

I usually don’t reblog such straighforward fare (there’s a wonderful set of tumblrs that do a much better job of outfits and finery) but this colour combo was waaay too striking to pass up. exception. jewel tones are so niiiiice.
