I sincerely believe Tumblr has had a significant effect on the sudden trend of women claiming either bisexuality or a full on lesbian sexuality. Tumblr gives individuals the opportunity to collect mass photos of absolutely gorgeous women, both young and old, and share them to the masses. Bloggers may catch a glimpse of these women and mistake the admiration of their beauty for an attraction that may have them contemplating their sexuality. Notice I italicized may, simply because I am not a scientist nor do I conduct studies on the population so my words honestly hold no weight. This is just an observation. Just because a female has great bone structure, pretty eyes, or beautiful curly hair, does not mean that you are particularly attracted to that female nor should you re-evaluate your sexuality because the beautiful women you see on the internet take your mind of your recent heart break.
47 years ago to the day Malcolm X was killed as he prepared to give a speech in Manhattan. I’ve included a few quotations of his that I like, but I urge everybody to just read his autobiography. The guy lived an extraordinary life, the book is very interesting and he raises some excellent points, as well as telling truly thrilling stories.
“We declare our right on this earth…to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.”
“Look at yourselves. Some of you teenagers, students. How do you think I feel and I belong to a generation ahead of you - how do you think I feel to have to tell you, ‘We, my generation, sat around like a knot on a wall while the whole world was fighting for its hum an rights - and you’ve got to be born into a society where you still have that same fight.’ What did we do, who preceded you ? I’ll tell you what we did. Nothing. And don’t you make the same mistake we made….”
“I’m not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner. Sitting at the table doesn’t make you a diner, unless you eat some of what’s on that plate. Being here in America doesn’t make you an American…. No I’m not an American, I’m one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the 22 million black people who are the victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy…. I’m speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of a victim. I don’t see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.”
