Black is the new Black

By Definition "_____ is the new black" is an expression used to indicate the sudden popularity or versatility of an idea at the expense of the popularity of a second idea. This statement is used mostly in the fashion industry to indicate the temporary displacement of black as the colour du jour. But this phrase lends itself to the appropriation, displacement and erasure of Blackness. So this tumblr is a reminder that Black is Black, baby! Stay Beautiful!

That awful moment when you learn that this wasn’t scripted. That Will Smith’s character was actually supposed to brush off the whole thing, but Will’s father actually had left him when he was younger and he just fell apart on the set and the hug at the end was from one actor to another, not one character to another.

most appropriate day for this gif

I can’t breathe every time I watch this episode.

my heart ached when this episode first aired and it aches now. peace to the fathers that stayed and those who are better without those that left (for selfish reasons) & those who make every effort to not repeat the same mistakes. and peace to The mamas who are papas.

p.s. The part about it being about will smith’s father is bull because Smith has a great relationship with his pops.
