When White people miss the racial connotations of this song…….. it just pisses me off. Sorry. It may be petty to you, but to me.. it’s just a minor detail on a very long list of offenses against me as a Black woman.
First, the Black woman’s body is demonized and sexualized… seen as inferior. Especially her butt and hips. Then SirMixALot makes a song denouncing Whiteness and White bodies as a standard for beauty .. it may not be the best way or even a good song, but its something, ya know?
And what do I see in 2013? White people all over the dance floor… singing all the words to the song yet still fucking clueless as far as race relations go… clueless to their own history and ideas about my body that are blasting out of the fucking speakers.
All on tumblr sticking books and balloons in their tights, tryna make their butt look bigger… making lil videos and shit… dancing around in their living rooms in suburbia. They think they’re cute.
It’s just kind of despicable to me.

oh my god narcissistic dancing spider get THE FUCK ON MY DASH
oh my god are you fucking joking how can you be this cute when you’re literally the spawn of the nightmares and sadness in the world.
If it helps, that’s not a dance, it’s a territorial aggression display.
That spider is trying to intimidate the ‘other spider’ into leaving and is getting the impression that the other spider is an asshole who is trying to do the same thing.
THAT ONLY MAKES IT CUTER

These are the prettiest lollipops I have ever seen. The flavors are just as unique as their appearance. Click each picture for info about each flavor. Even if you don’t have a sweet tooth these are really pretty to just have and keep as a decoration. Although I’m sure you would enjoy eating them much more. I personally spoke to the owner of this shop not only is she sweet (no pun intended) but she tells me she has more items coming soon! I can’t wait to see what she creates next! Help support this new artist and check out her shop.
