The last time North Carolina amended their constitution it was to ban interracial marriage.

sequinsandsideeye:

Today I’m sad. My heart is heavy and I tossed and turned all night over the state of our country. Racism, bigotry and legalized hate are still very much a reality and as a mom it breaks my heart and hurts my soul. I am raising a son that is half black that may one day decides he likes men. That shouldn’t be two strikes against him but if things keep going this way, it will be and that’s a cross he shouldn’t have to bear.

Speaking of crosses, God isn’t down with this nonsense. You are completely misguided if you think he is. I was raised Catholic and in a church but one of the main reasons Luke hasn’t and may not be baptized is because of the religious zealots who hate in the name of God. I refuse to have my child surrounded by that. It’s not negotiable.

Basically my feelings are hurt, my drive to move my family out of the south is even stronger than ever and I’m tired. I’m tired of being “that black girl”. I’m tired of 98% of the time being the only black person in the room. I’m tired of people seeing my color when they disagree with me, as if that has any relevance. I’m tired of having people think I’m my gorgeous child’s nanny. I’m tired of the looks Mike and I get whenever we hold hands even in the ever progressive (lolz), Atlanta. I’m tired of being legitimately scared of every other city in Georgia because they are all full of racism and hate. I don’t care if your priviledge prevents you from seeing it. It’s there. So I’m tired and scared and I can’t think about dresses and pretty shoes and macaroni and cheese today.

Here’s a picture of Luke and Samantha to end this on a less depressing note.

““I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.””

“I Only Have Eyes For You” by Beck

Originally by Harry Warren & Al Dubin

There are songs from the past that just never age. “I Only Have Eyes for You” is one of those songs for me. It was originally recorded in 1934, but found like again in 50’s and 60’s through covers from Peggy Lee and later The Flamingos (the most popular version). In the late 90’s it was featured in one of my personal favorite episodes of Joss Whedon’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and now it’s being featured in Doug Aitken “Song 1” art installation for the Hirshhorn Museum in which he’s asked 6 artists to contribute covers of the song. Beck, being the most notable of those artists (others inclube No Age, Devendra Banhart, and High Places), also turns in the most traditional, and in turn, gorgeous, cover. Give it a spin (or head over to Pitchfork to hear all six) and get lost in the haunting, gorgeous, doo wop, pop gem that still feels fresh, but also lost in time. Highest recommendation.

Who watches “Up All Night?” Christina Applegate’s competitive rage is a match for mine when the streak is set all the way back to ZERO. Done with this game.
