My dinner. Nothing beats an American breakfast, except for a Cantonese brunch.
Word of mouth is that Tumblr has been deleting every instance (reblog) of this story. If true, Tumblr is taking the risky step of becoming part of the story. Reposting this is easy. Covering it up is impossible.

“This one is very serious, guys:
I came upon these two on the sidewalk. They were having a conversation. “Excuse me,” I said, addressing the girl: “I’m sorry to interrupt, but is there anyway I can take your photo?”
“Why would you want my photo?” she asked.
“Because you look beautiful,” I said. And she did. She was Sudanese. There is a very distinct beauty among people from the Sudan, and she was filled up with it. Suddenly the man cut in:
“I was just telling her she was beautiful,” he said.
Naively, I assumed I had just walked up on one stranger giving a compliment to another. I wanted to capture the moment. “Let me take your photograph together,” I said. The man seemed reluctant, he started smiling nervously and inching away. But the girl called him back.
“Come take a picture with me,” she said. Encouraged by her attention, he returned. She put her arm around him, and I took the photo.
As I examined the photos on my camera, the man started whispering to the girl. She answered him in a loud voice: “I told you! I’m not that kind of girl.” She seemed agitated now. Finally sensing that I had misread the situation, I stepped between them. The man began hurrying down the sidewalk.
When the man left, the girl’s demeanor changed completely. She seemed shaken. Her eyes were tearing up. “He just offered me five hundred dollars to go out with him,” she said. “And then when I said ‘no,’ he offered me one thousand. Why does this always happen to me?”
“It happens a lot?” I asked.
“All the time,” she said. “I’m sorry I’m getting emotional. I just can’t go out of my house without this kind of thing happening. I have a son. I’m a mother. I would never degrade myself like that. I just don’t understand why this keeps happening.”
“Do you mind if I tell this story?” I asked.
“Please,” she said. “Tell it.”
Let’s hope this man, and all men, realize the emotional damage they are inflicting on the women they try to buy. In the meantime, feel free to SHARE.*
Dear Tumblr, fuck you for trying to erase this.

Yet another white Swedish antiracist act - the Minister of Culture cuts up an African woman à la Sarah Baartman at the Museum of Modern Art here.
Recommended reading for context: “The Foundations of Whiteness,” which breaks down how Sweden’s (and other European countries’) ostensible Third World solidarity and antiracism actually goes hand in hand with white superiority and white homogeneity[…]
I hate all of their faces.
WHAT THE HOLY FUUUUCK?!!!
white people really are the sickest people on this planet. mind you, France still had Baartman’s genitals and brain on display until 1974, and didn’t return her remains to South Africa for a proper burial until 2002!
wow. barbarism at its finest. and white people wonder why we don’t trust them?? crazy ass sick shit like this!!

When I think about the sound of rock and roll, one particular sound always comes to mind first: the sound of a wall of black faced Marshall guitar amps. It was that sound which drove the music of Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Ritchie Blackmore, and millions of other guitarists. Marshall amplification has been a part of my sound since I first picked up a guitar. The JCM 800 remains my favorite amp of all time. Jim Marshall O.B.E., the inventor of Marshall amplification has passed away. He was a brilliant man. So much great music owes its existence to his work.
