Not all treasure is silver and gold

I am a Stardust Sorcerer, colour-bursting Indian. I ride giant black cats through the velvet sky. I roll around in the dirt and cover my Moon-skin and Sun-freckled body in grass and flowers. I enjoy messy hair and long eyelashes. I enjoy boys and blood. I want to speak with the Trees, I want to fly on bat wings, I want to kiss Peter Pan. I am a lost boy, I am a werewolf with charm, a vampire with poetry on my tongue. I am a story teller. I am The Bloody Prince, and I am searching for my twin.

arseniccupcakes: bowfolk: clingtomymouth: shaanmichael: mzreport: I’m not mad at Sammy. I can’t relate but I understand why people would want to lighten their skin. I’m the opposite. I go tanning any chance I get. In every part of the Black World there are people using ridiculous and dangerous chemicals to lighten their skin. It makes me sad because I love black. I love black so black its blue. I heard on the news this morning that Sosa is considering marketing this product he used. Being the official spokesperson for a deep seeded self-hatred that millions of Black people have for themselves. Sadly, I think the product would be a hit. Who doesn’t want to be lighter, make things easier, right? Being from the Dominican Republic, Sosa was born into a group of people that refuse to acknowledge their Black heritage. Much like Brazil and many regions of South America. In many of these places Black is synonymous with poor, dirty and unrecognized in society - in other words nothing anyone wants to be. White supremacy is an ideology that stretches much further than the (US)American terrorist organization, the kkk. White Supremacy is a universal virus that has destroyed people of Black and Brown decent. It’s killed us, erased our history, enslaved us, raped us, lightened our skin, terrorized our minds and shunned our culture. There is just a little part of me that is patiently waiting, praying and hoping that one day, one day soon, we’ll stop hating ourselves and start hating the system that put us here. I’m not mad at Sosa, I’m mad at the system that got us here. ^ Agree. People are cretins.
