extensive thread of blm related petitions that still haven’t reached their goal

It should be mandatory that a man take time to discover you, before being allowed to engage with you intimately. If not, then what could the experience possibly be for you? How could he be expected to please you, instead of use you as an object for his lust, when he has no understanding, on any level, of your desires; what attracts you, what inflames you, what makes you orgasmic; how you like to be touched, stroked, grabbed, talked to; when he doesn’t even know the first layer of your depth? Don’t get mad at the women who demand payment for their bodies, for their time, for their energy; because when a man doesn’t care to know a woman, or to explore the feminine in an engaged way, then what else could he possibly have to offer?

Remember when the fucking Notre Dame burned down and everyone knew instantly and it was over every single news outlet?

Well there’s been a massacre going on in Sudan for DAYS and NOBODIES COVERING IT!

So there is currently a media blackout in Sudan to try and coverup the horrors taking place:

Stop what you’re doing and please reblog this. Innocent people are being murdered, people are trapped, have no internet access, and are being raped by the dozens on the streets of Sudan.

The death toll is estimated to be over 300 civilians. And the fact that not a single major news outlet is covering this is horrific and disgusting. Please help get the word out about Sudan!

That’s been shattered by the hands of careless men.”

The police caught and arrested him. But despite the heinous and violent crimes he was credibly accused of, he was released without bail. He was free for three months AFTER police discovered  that he was abusing 12 underage black girls.

Chrystul Kizer was raped and trafficked by this man for years.

She’s now facing life in prison for defending herself against her attacker.

Free Chrystul Kizer!!!

Pls spread help spread the news!
