I will try to be as sweet as possible as I put your common sense to trial
Please forget that I am black so you do not see another angry black person
Take your eyes away from my breast so you don’t see another woman nagging
We need to be awake and alert and active about racial, gender, social, sexual, judicial and political oppression privilege and double standards.
Because we are all on race and . . .
Allow me to go off for a second
I’m sorry if I fulfil the stereotypes and don’t meet your ladylike expectations
But I am not sorry because everything got me fucked up and I refuse to be silent.
Why is it okay to justify a grown man who thinks grabbing any woman by the pussy is fine, and worse allow him stand a chance to win presidency.
Why do I have to stand here and explain why “he’s just being a boy” does not justify anything.
A man murders a teenager because his skin looked threatening and walks away but someone attempts to kill him, fails and might face 20 years in jail. Donald Trump, Zimmerman, Brock Turner? Is your head really so far up your ass, you cant comprehend the concept of white male privilege?
Allow me another second to speak the truth
I’m sorry I have a problem with your idea of justice
but I am not sorry because I am sick and tired of victim blaming and I will not be quiet.
Why is it right to put victims of sexual, physical, emotional and mental assault on trial and worse let perpetrators walk free or with lighter sentence?
Why isn’t it ridiculous that I have to stand here and say It is never the victim's fault , do not silence them, stop victimizing perpetrators?
You tried victim blaming, you tried blaming it on society, yet assault and violence is still on the rise, is common sense not so common that you can’t realize it is time to hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Allow me one more quick second to rant
I’m sorry my feminism intimidates and turns you off
But I am not sorry because I am upset at the limits you put around my sisters and I will speak of it.
Why is it sensible for you or me, female or male to decide what she should do with her own body, and worse give the government power over her body?
Why am I still saying a woman’s body is her court and she decides whatever she wants to do with it, in this modern year 2016?
It’s sickening that for every male feminist is 50 burned out female feminist and with the last fight in me. Let our daughters, sisters, and mothers be free in the land they have given so much of their voice and strength too.
Allow me one second to enlighten you
I am sorry I have compassion for humanity
But I am not sorry because I choose to be a part of this generation that makes the world better for the next, watch me do it proudly.
Why is it fair to write people of because of their identity, religion, sexual orientation, skin color, and the stereotypes you put against them?
Why have you decided to hold on to the ways and practices that ruined the generation before us and encouraged hatred and oppression for years?
I stand here before you on behalf of all the oppressed. The blacks, hispanics, native americans, women, hoes, the ratchets, the homosexuals, the trans, muslims, illiterates, assault victims…and more. In hopes that soon, they will be free of all form of oppression.
I have a lot more seconds of educating to do but there is only so much ignorance I can educate.
Allow me to call the hypocrisy of fellow feminists, Christians, activists and all that labels
For every time you stay silent about racial, gender, social, sexual, judicial and political oppression you put a brick on the barrier against America’s that’s been built since America was supposedly founded.
And soon, it would come crumbling down on all of us.

1. Taking care of yourself when you're sick
When I was younger, my mom took such good of me if I got sick. Now, if I puke, I have to clean it up. Gross. I also have to make my own chicken noodle soup. I wish my mom could take of me forever.
2. Making a to-do list
To-do lists are so mom-ish, but I thrive off of them. Plus, they make me feel accomplished as heck.
3. Planning your activities around the weather
It never fails to make me feel old when I say, "There's a chance of snow on Thursday. How about we do Friday instead?"
4. Scheduling your own doctor’s appointments
Most twenty-somethings fear talking on the phone, myself included. I draw the line at going to the doctor alone, though.
5. Getting your own toilet paper
Nothing makes me feel like I'm officially #adulting like picking up a giant pack of toilet paper at Target...or smuggling some rolls in my backpack.
6. Making food without needing to ask your mom questions
"Yeah, Mom? Can you use canola oil instead of vegetable oil? Okay, thanks."..."Hey Mom, me again. This recipe wants two cups of sugar, but I only have one and a half. Should I just try it anyways?"
7. Holding your tongue
In high school, I was a lot more willing to comment on racist Facebook statuses and sexist Tweets. Now, I'd rather just avoid the conflict. It isn't worth it.
8. Saving your paycheck (or your tax refund) to pay your bills
I was excited to get money back from my tax refund, but it all went right back into my bank account. When you're 20 years old, responsibilities come before shopping sprees, unfortunately.
9. Balancing your checkbook
Do people in their twenties write checks, or is it just me? There's something so satisfying about getting a sum in your checkbook that equals the sum on your bank account.
10. Going places alone
In high school, I didn't do anything alone. Now, I enjoy my solitude a little more. I walk to class alone and eat lunch by myself. It makes me appreciate my friends so much more!
11. Packing your own lunches
I miss the days where my mom made my lunches for me. Now I just make a sandwich and wish someone had cut the crust off.
12. Actually eating your vegetables...on purpose
I never thought my fridge would have carrots, broccoli and celery in it. I still don't really like raw vegetables, but I know they're good for me, so I force myself to eat them.
13. Taking a multivitamin
I've got to make sure I'm getting all my vitamins so I can stay healthy. That way I don't have to call the doctor!
14. Planning a life after graduation
Resumes, cover letters and job applications are the worst part of #adulting because they remind me that, someday, I will be a full-time adult. Scary.
Here are 10 Chandler moments that made us all see the "Chan Chan Man" within all of us.
I mean, besides this obvious one:
1. That Time He Tested Out His Flirting Skills and This Happened
2. When He Was Willing to Do Anything to Avoid Confrontation
3. When He Couldn't Handle Awkward, Emotional Situations
But, hey, at least he owns up to it!
4. How He Reacted Whenever His Friends Ignored Him
5. All of the Times He Worried About His Failing Love Life
6. Whenever He Tried to Whip Himself Into Shape
He tried really hard.
7. How He Handled New People and New Experiences
8. Whenever His Friends Got Annoying, He Was Always the Voice of Reason
9. He Always Knew How to Jam
10. He Finds a Way to Make Any Situation More Fun
Sure, he may be awkward and desperate for love, but if you're the Chandler of the group, your flaws just make you even more adorable!
Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?
1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.
2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.
3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!
5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!
6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!
7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.
8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.
9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!
10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!
11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!
12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!
I enjoy my job don't get me wrong... but sometimes all I have to say is IT GETS OLD!
For example, you are never stopped by people in the mall trying to sell you stuff, and it's secretly fun to hear that someone was a little intimidated by you when you first met.
That being said, the downside is that people always think you hate them and social events are tragic because you always looked pissed off or bored. In the end, no matter how extreme your RBF is, you probably encounter/have encountered a handful of these 11 situations.
1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.
But the whole time you talked to them you tried really hard to seem happy and friendly and genuinely thought you pulled it off.
2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.
And you can't help but roll your eyes, which probably doesn't help your case.
3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."
Not like you haven't heard that before. It's expected and doesn't even come as a surprise anymore.
4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.
You smiling 24/7 is way worse than your mean face. Trust me.
5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."
You gave up on trying to convince everyone that it's just your face!
6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.
Whoops. Better go send them an apology text.
7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.
Probably because your face doesn't really signal that you're joking, but you've learned to make it clear you're just kidding by laughing obnoxiously.
8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.
And you think, "maybe that's why people don't talk to me..."
9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.
It's a cold world out there for people with RBF.
10. Your "mad face" scares you.
*shudders*
11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.
"I can't repeat it enough that it is just my face."
