Which Western feminist icon are you?
You are Angela Davis! You were the THIRD WOMYN IN HISTORY to appear on the FBI's Most Wanted List. You are a communinist, black power-lovin' lady who shook up the United States when you refused to lie down quietly to oppression. You WENT TO JAIL! Wow. You kick so much more ass than Foxxy Brown.

i really like my hello kitty toaster. love the 80's and the 70's, everything else can take a backseat. ok, and maybe some early 90's. i get wicked annoyed with persons who go on about people hatin' on this and hatin' on that--no one hates you and no one cares if they do except you. everybody says that now and if they really do, then you should be concerned, not giving yourself accolades. i am passionate about some issues. being pro-black doesn't mean i'm anti-everyone else. can be shy. selective about who and what i bother with. not to be confused with being spineless. i will easily call you or anyone out on anything but only if i give a damn. i love culture. i like drinking hot tea and eating rice (not necessarily at the same time). like liming. hugs are fun. political agendas. i have way too many funky earrings. love all those truly wonderful people in my life. rum is fun. people trip me out sometimes. i try my best to be an effective anti-capitalist, anti-consumerist but then i end up in the damn mall again. i have lots and lots of questions some days and not nearly enough answers. i've got a mouth full of metal and it's cool cause i pick up soundwaves that are invisible to the human ear and covert government transmissions. i'm trying to cultivate that inner vision in my third eye. i really, really enjoy breathing cause one day i just might have to stop.
