Modern Disney Girl - MERIDA!
Why short hair?
Merida was a young, teenage rebel. In the movie, she was always against the way of princess lifestyle. And her hair show this very good - in her times woman should braid her hair, cover them - but she always had this “mess” on her head.
What would modern Merida do? She would cut her hair, because many of people would say to her - you have such a lovely, curly, red hair, you should be so proud, don’t shave it, cut it…
But she would surely do that. That fits her character.
This is the master post of the new millennium showcasing racism and white supremacy at its finest.
Please stop telling us it’s not about race and to move on cause IT IS and WE WONT until justice is served and equality is established!
I was talking to someone on Facebook about this whole notion of us “making it about race” and people “tired of hearing about it” and like… I’ll stop talking about it when it stops being a thing, you know? Because, truthfully, I DO want to stop talking about it, I want it to stop being an issue. Do people really think that black people really, truly, honestly want to constantly deal with racism? Cuz I don’t know about you but I’d much rather live my life peacefully. But I can’t, because shit like this keeps happening, and even worse, when it does happen we keep being told “it’s nothing.”
And what kills me is so many people want equality, so many people wish that we were equal and want to know what they can do to help. And here we are, giving the answers, and we keep being ignored because “it’s not about race” or even “all lives matter” as if trying to tell someone that they matter after a tragedy means we’re excluding people. We have to tell black people that they matter because people keep telling them that they don’t, even after death they’re “thugs” in the eyes of the world. That is why “black lives matter.”
Why do we keep talking about it? Because you keep ignoring it. Maybe if you start speaking with us changes can be made for the better and the conversations can come to an end. Until then, it’s going to keep being brought up.
This is the story of a geeky anime/gaming gal by the name of Chibi. Please fasten your seat belts and prepare for... some sort of ride? Oh! I love to write, and I also love doing crafty things. I go to conventions with my partner and sell woodburned things, clocks, mirrors, and more! So expect to see those on here too :)
