One of the main problems facing Black womyn, it seems to me is that most of them simply refuse to even admit that such a phenomenon as sexism exists. Admittedly, all straight women seem to have difficulty acknowledging that fact…
The thing I find most disturbing regarding womyn in general is the seeming impossibility of their thinking clearly when it comes time to deal with men. Womyn...

“The party can’t take down the Man. And I can’t do it. I can’t save one soul. And I don’t want to be Jesus or any other god. I want to realize ’God,’ which is not some dominating power sitting above us. God is all humanity in concert with nature. We are God, though we’ve yet to become God.”

horuscoded:
a Queen
Someone who will go through the trenches with me as my right hand through valleys and keep me humble through the peaks.
That perfect balance, a vessel to empty out my pains and the capacity to do the same for her.
An understanding of my passion, my dream, and with my all I can help her achieve her dreams.
I girl with dreams. Something impossibly possible, just enough to...
