I am not Big Brother so i only may offer an alternative perspective ... I want to Blog my opinion because even though I am nobody ... I am somebody. I dont know what I wanna do or Who I wanna be ... but i do know as I live this life as a journey trying to find myself - I wanna know who YOU are too. Because I may not matter. You may not matter. But WE matter.

I am Puppington. I never really write down my true emotions for fear of them being found and used against me. I promised myself i'd never write down my thoughts for others to read. I have a virtual vault with my thoughts and feelings captured inside. Essentially, I fear thought crime.
If i let you in, you just have to promise not to use it against me. -puppington

Family Records of African-Americans Dating Back To Slavery Will Be Made Available For Free Online
Millions of African Americans will soon be able to trace their families through the era of slavery, some to the countries from which their ancestors were snatched, thanks to a new and free online service that is digitizing a huge cache of federal records for the first time.
Handwritten records collecting information on newly freed slaves that were compiled just after the civil war will be available for easy searches through a new website, it was announced on Friday.
The records belong to the Freedmen’s Bureau, an administrative body created by Congress in 1865 to assist slaves in 15 states and the District of Columbia transition into free citizenship.
Before that time, slaves were legally regarded as property in the US and their names were not officially documented. They often appeared only as dash marks – even on their owners’ records.
African Americans trying to trace family history today regularly hit the research equivalent of a brick wall prior to 1870, when black people were included in the US census for the first time.
Now a major project run by several organizations is beginning to digitize the 1.5 million handwritten records from the Freedmen’s Bureau, which feature more than four million names and are held by various federal bodies, for full online access.
All the records are expected to be online by late 2016, to coincide with the opening of the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture on the National Mall in Washington.

SN: If only there was a way that they could also do this for the African Diaspora whose family was sent to the Caribbean and other countries in the Americas.

Misty Copeland made history on Tuesday by becoming the first black ballerina to be named principal dancer by the American Ballet Theater. But the talented dancer’s journey to making history was hardly easy.
While most ballerinas start dancing at very young ages, Copeland encountered her calling relatively late in life, at age 13. In fact, although Copeland idolized gymnast Nadia Comaneci, it was only after her junior high school drill-team coach suggested she try taking a ballet class at a local Boys and Girls Club that she discovered her love for dance.
The story of how Misty Copeland became America’s top ballerina will make you love her even more

black people revolted 313 times but still needed white people to free them. LOL.
Have I become too cold where things like this just make me roll my eyes?
white tears will not solve racism. white tears won’t bring back 9 lives. so yea, i feel you
Absolutely, and I guess also the fact that she says “I wish I could do more”, like she believes giving his random black man a hug is doing something. I’m almost positive she isn’t doing any kind of anti-racism work in her community, she just needed to express her white guilt to a black person smh
^^^^^
This. And please don’t let this be a trend.No person better come up to me asking for a hug. That’s akin to asking to touch my hair #1. And #2, after that white lady threw soda on me last week, I keep a trigger finger on my mace. Doing anything.. Coming near me in general could get you maced these days. Stranger danger.
HAHAFCHBKAFHb this is some dumb shit !
Lmao I wish a white person would

zuky:
Receipts, receipts, we got ‘em. Here are four receipts which have gone public via internet in the recent past:
- “Ching” and “Chong” — That’s what Chick-Fil-A labelled two UC Irvine students in December 2011. The image was posted on the internet, blogged on tumblr, and the offending employee named Lia got fired amid much defensive PR fluff from Chick-Fil-A.
- “Lady Chinky Eyes” — That’s how Papa John’s in New York City referred to Minhee Cho in January 2012. Cho tweeted the receipt, prompting Papa John’s to post on apology on its Facebook page and terminate the offending employee.
- “Chinx” — That’s how Hooters in Fresh Meadows, Queens, described Kisuk Cha and his girlfriend when they ordered wings and shrimp there in September 2012. Cha sued. The employee resigned and as far as I know the lawsuit is ongoing.
- “Ching Chong Lee” — That’s what CVS in New Jersey named Hyun Jin Lee in February 2013. Following Cha’s example, Lee has filed a lawsuit. CVS says the employee will be “counseled and trained”.
They keep giving us these receipts and we’ll keep filing lawsuits. Let’s do this.

FUN FACT: in hebrew, “feet” is a euphemism for genitals.
so if you ever see “washing feet” in the bible, it, uh. yeah.
