“A lot of people just look and see skin color. I’ve actually had people ask me was I Black or was I White first. A White gentleman came up to me and said ‘I thought you might be White, but then I saw your lips.’ One girl said to me ‘I’ve been wanting to ask you this question, but I didn’t feel comfortable asking you because I thought that you might be offended, but are you Black or are you White?’ And I was just like, ‘Well, I’m always Black.’ When we were done with the meat of the conversation, she laughed and said something about my hair and my butt gave it away. People definitely let you know that they view being Black as being very literal – the amount of pigment you have. ‘Your skin is White, therefore you’re White. Or are you?’

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists for being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.

and THAT is why the “i heart boobies” campaign is fucking bullshit
i do not care about women’s boobs
i care about men and women having to suffer through chemo and other breast cancer treatments
you can spread breast cancer awareness without sexualizing women and treating it as though their boobs are what you give a shit about because if that’s where your priorities are, you’re a piece of shit.

174 Grand, Brooklyn, New York
Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, this row-house infill building is the home of Werner Morath, a partner in the architecture firm LoadingDock5. To minimize costs, Morath acted as both architect and general contractor, which allowed him to innovate spontaneously onsite. The green roof has approximately eight inches of soil and absorbs rainwater runoff.
