“You really want to know what being an X-Man feels like? Just be a smart bookish boy of color in a contemporary U.S. ghetto. Mamma mia! Like having bat wings or a pair of tentacle growing out of your chest.” ― Junot DíazTumblr (3.0; @untoldhistory)http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/33d5bd890cb40bd489d333fdaf1b5c59/tumblr_mn1jl1pQZg1snpo0uo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50829548494http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50829548494Sun, 19 May 2013 11:37:31 -0500<blockquote> <p>a detailed list of people who have a crush on me:</p> <ul><li>  </li> <li>  </li> <li>  </li> <li>  </li> </ul></blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50800501661http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50800501661Sun, 19 May 2013 03:58:57 -0500<p>Oh man, I think I played it too loudly.  My ears are ringing.  </p>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50800130198http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50800130198Sun, 19 May 2013 03:52:00 -0500i'm also adding this to the list mr. ye<p>I CAN&#8217;T GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP</p> <p>Black Skinhead &amp; New Slaves keep me up.  </p>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50800086710http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50800086710Sun, 19 May 2013 03:51:09 -0500kanye you wrong for thatgot me staying up all late dissecting yo music and shityou wrong man<p>David, GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP</p>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50799834554http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50799834554Sun, 19 May 2013 03:45:58 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgeuqt9Uyj1qb4popo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://creolejconfessions.tumblr.com/post/3217658735/this-is-art">creolejconfessions</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>this is art.</p> </blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50795514699http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50795514699Sun, 19 May 2013 01:52:48 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4f92da7d4663cd6c0f4688e2d9d40f80/tumblr_mmwo9ujrEi1qgyrvuo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lovesoulbounce.tumblr.com/post/50592801601/they-be-like-ooh-shes-serving-face-work">lovesoulbounce</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>“They be like, ‘Ooh, she’s serving face.’”</p> <p>Work, Janelle.</p> </blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50795232203http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50795232203Sun, 19 May 2013 01:46:14 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc39yhSMbd1qziwdmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50795059963http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50795059963Sun, 19 May 2013 01:42:18 -0500“African-Americans are not merely another maltreated minority on the scale of non-WASPs. They are a community whose advancement was specifically and actively retarded by American policy and private action. The antebellum South passed laws against teaching black people to read. In the postbellum South, black communities were the targets of a long-running campaign of terror. The terrorists took very specific aim at the institutions of African-American advancement. They targeted churches. They targeted businesses. And they targeted schools. In the mid-20th century, as we have been documenting, it was the policy of this country to deny African-Americans access to the same methods of wealth-building, that it was making available to whites.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>Ta-Nehisi Coates</p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b33237902ca73fba5c964da3d9e38665/tumblr_mjzxz5DZyc1s70zyso1_250.gif"/></p> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://howtobeterrell.tumblr.com/">howtobeterrell</a>)</p></em>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50770129219http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50770129219Sat, 18 May 2013 19:11:24 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/42180035f36c0de491f1c49f4086d487/tumblr_mkei8cgRMX1qbjqn3o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><span>Ray</span></p> </blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50763030949http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50763030949Sat, 18 May 2013 17:26:01 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a87c54699880cd3558ef686793816872/tumblr_mmuiqm82hA1rre6yxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://feministbecky.tumblr.com/post/50759448302/nukirk-dies-no-lie">feministbecky</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thefilesof.nukirk.com/post/50698403349/dies">nukirk</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>*dies*…</p> </blockquote> <p>No lie</p> </blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50762636320http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50762636320Sat, 18 May 2013 17:20:25 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8dbf415a4a11948d943c9f38fd398128/tumblr_mmh7asW2w01qesepao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><em>Kerry Washington for Elle Magazine, June 2013</em></p> </blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50750040221http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50750040221Sat, 18 May 2013 14:26:03 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0ec1bcfbdce239c03fa6a09ecc21afa9/tumblr_mk8dd7JVcM1r6zegbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50750026194http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50750026194Sat, 18 May 2013 14:25:52 -0500<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://niallshit.tumblr.com/post/43695808585/if-u-feel-sad-right-now-look-at-this-bunny-eating">niallshit</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>if u feel sad right now look at this bunny eating a flower</p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/686b6494375b7194554f63a1c5a37808/tumblr_inline_milqf8gTCB1qz4rgp.gif"/></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/0d8d7b05e2b1b804088bc637d0890a5f/tumblr_inline_milqgk6LqZ1qz4rgp.gif"/></p> </blockquote>http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50712739480http://untoldhistory.tumblr.com/post/50712739480Sat, 18 May 2013 01:54:18 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dqMLhQKfbNY?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theblacksophisticate.tumblr.com/post/50710777519">theblacksophisticate</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>But, yo!!
