A girl tries desperately and without luck to control everything and anything in her reach because she cannot bear to confront her own emotion. Cognitive Dissonance? Possibly. The girl knows no boundaries and believes the world is limitless. Yet at this very thought, she trembles
The woman, on the other hand, understands her place. She knows her limits and while she may push them from time to time, she never oversteps them and expects those around her to do the same. She controls what she can control and does it beautifully and fearlessly. It is with this control, this adapted ability to maneuver effortlessly through her own world, that a women KNOWS the world is limitless.

Follow-Up of the Day: George Zimmerman May Be Charged With Hate Crime: George Zimmerman, currently facing second-degree murder charges in the February 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, also may be charged with a hate crime. According to Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV:
WFTV has learned charges against George Zimmerman could be getting more serious.
State prosecutors said Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, profiled and stalked 17-year-old Trayvon Martin before killing him, so the FBI is now looking into charging him with a hate crime.
Zimmerman admitted to killing Martin in February during a confrontation. However, he claims the shooting was in self-defense. He’s facing a second-degree murder charge, which carries a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. But if Zimmerman is charged and found guilty of a federal hate crime involving murder, he could face the death penalty.
FBI investigators are actively questioning witnesses in the retreat at the Twin Lakes neighborhood, seeking evidence for a possible federal hate crime charge.

Is another death really the answer to hate crimes?
Do not fucking derail this.
Fuck you.
Because yes. It is the answer.
Yes another death is the answer.
And I say this as someone who has little to no positive feelings about the death penalty.
I say yes because white, white passing, anti-black, and whiteness upholding individuals have been killing Black people and Black children for centuries. They’ve been doing it with impunity, or with the knowledge that anything that happens to them will make them a martyr for their cause.
But this, if Florida does this, and the FBI does this, this could potentially be the first (technically second, in regards to Federal Hate Crimes legislation) in many cases that actually take our lives seriously.
More to the point, when Federal Hate Crimes laws were first introduced, it became a matter of seeing how they would be applied. Many, rightly, did and do fear that these laws will be employed to continue the biased attack on POC and incarcerate them for crimes against white persons, specifically white queers. And while that fear will continue to exist, while the fame may still be rigged against us, the fact that these first two cases to come under the direct purview of the laws pertain specifically to anti-Black actions means that there is a chance.
No matter how slim, there is a chance our stories and suffering will be respected.
George Zimmerman’s death, hell, just the intimation of it at this point, is not even a band-aid on the wound that is anti-Black violence. It is nothing as compared to our people who are dying and have died because of racism.
But it is a step, it is a show for how serious this is being taken.
If only every act of violence against us was taken seriously.
I agree with all of the above. This isn’t the fucking 40s anymore. Anyone who kills a black child should have the full brunt of the law smashed down on their dick
My humanity does not diminish for my wanting of this man’s death. All I want is justice. In this case, an eye for an eye is not enough. I need limb for limb and blood for blood. Because this is something bigger than Trayvon. While this is about getting him his justice, there are so many others who have never, and will never, get theirs. Make an example of Zimmerman. Show these white supremacist douchefucks that if you kill ours, you’ll get yours, and it will not be by vigilante justice but by the very system you uphold, that always protects you. It will come for you, too, because you should no longer hide behind your privilege and racism. So, no, I do not care if it seems callous that I wish death on a person. Zimmerman did what a lot of you apologists would do, and he deserves proper punishment. Time will not change him. He had time. He chose to hide. He chose to play the victim. He chose to play all the angles to pain his victim as the antagonist. I have no care in this world for this mans health, happiness, sanity, or redemption. Let the pits of Hell swallow him whole.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m42lm1blc81qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

20 Years Later…Remember 92. Own it. Ever realize why this photo is so meaningful? Check out the DIAPERS in this brother’s cart. Something spun into a story about vicious looters, should instead highlight the need of fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters living in a community where basic needs were otherwise unmet. Sounds a bit like Katrina if you ask me!
