This is about fake allies and reading them for filth.

It's time to play one of my favorite games!
COUNT THE WAYS!
How many problems can you spot?

I have lost patience with fake allies.

Fake allies: those who step into a marginalized group's safe space, clear a spot to sit, and begin to tell the members of this marginalized group why they're here, what they're doing wrong, and what they should be doing - all while silencing members, yelling at them for disagreeing, and becoming outraged when these members finally show the infiltrators the door.

I will try to give those who don't wish to read any further the overall message of this post:

If you must approach a marginalized group's space, follow these steps:

This is about Tinder and online dating.

It's connected to Facebook so…yeah.

Yes, I downloaded the Tinder app.

I was waist deep in burger and fries around midnight with a friend.

She told me she was 100% single.

Not only did she coin the most brilliant, accurate phrase of all time ("I'm 100% single") but she showed me an interesting article written by a black woman who downloaded Tinder.

This is what true love looks like.

 tumblr couples are the worst. *trips into feelings*

I know what true love is.

Really, I do though.

I don't know what it feels like - but I do know what it looks like.

I found out during literally a 3 minute conversation with a classmate that I ran into at the gym.

This is about relaxed vs natural hair.

found on Pinterest of all places

I have a lot of problems with this.

Obviously I have a huge bias, so I'm gonna do my best to check it at the door.

I will be as objective as humanly possible starting now:

Who the hell made this?

What was your goal here?

Did you download Photoshop just for this?

Did you purposely choose the silhouette of an oddly shaped afro?

This is about that black guy who loves QOTSA…and interracial dating.

My friends and family have teased me saying "Watch - you'll end up with a white man."

Despite knowing my anxiety-borderline-fear of dealing with all the pitfalls of interracial dating (opposition, ignorance, festishism, discrimination, just to name a few), they say this more because of my tastes.

This is about triflin dudes and their ridiculous, hypocritical, and contradicting standards for women.

Once you push past the ridiculous spelling and emojis and judgment of this person based solely on grammatical errors and misusing the purposes of a full keyboard, you can better see the main argument.

What this man means to say is that all females generate an excessive amount of problems and false attitudes, yet he will tolerate them for the female he has decided to be in a relationship with. As for other females behaving this way, he will ignore them and/or treat them with cold hostility so they understand he will not be entertaining such behavior.

This is basically why I'm moving to London.

Drake told his girl "sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up, that's when you're the prettiest" and I do hope she did not take it wrong.
I've been told numerous times that guys are attracted to the soap-and-water girls. You know, the girls who don't need a lot of primping, fluffing, powdering, and lifting to look beautiful.
Yet it seems like the only time I could get a brotha to holla is when I wear the bodycon skirt and the top that shows a bit too much cleavage. (I know bodycon skirts aren't the most appropriate, but they're so cute, and CHEAP!).
So imagine my surprise this week when a mystery man stopped me on my walk back to my dorm.
