@BlackAndNative1 I'm thankful her husband is leading as he should. I'm driving at least 30 minutes, passing 5 beauty supply stores to get to a black owned one. It's sad that they know we have the money so they set up 5 stores in one neighborhood. Smh My new spot has AMAZING customer service!
@BlackAndNative1 I was boycotting long before it was a hashtag or before it became an overnight push. It's always been support black owned. But to each their own!
@BlackAndNative1 Oh wow she’s a warrior!! She driving 45 minutes for her nails. Bwahahahahahaha. Yes build that woman a statue. Fight the power sister souldjah ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Bwahahahahahaha. 🤡🤡🤡
@BlackAndNative1 It shouldn’t be such a sacrifice to stop giving your money to anti-Black immigrants.
If it’s this difficult to show Black support over some fingernails then she needs to do some internal reflecting.
Nah, you’re not gonna just take that clip down, walk away and act like nothing happened.
Now everyone knows how all three of you think of Southern Black Americans.
I just need everyone to understand that this is the Nigerian version of “I no Black.”
America keeps telling Black people to trust the system, respect the verdicts, and accept whatever the courts decide. The problem is we’ve been watching who gets the benefit of the doubt.
Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state lines with an AR-15, inserted himself into a volatile situation, killed two people, and was acquitted. Donald Trump later welcomed him to Mar-a-Lago for photo ops and praise.
Daniel Penny placed Jordan Neely in a chokehold until he died. Jordan Neely never touched Penny. Penny was acquitted and later celebrated by Donald Trump and J.D. Vance as a hero.
Meanwhile, Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager involved in a confrontation with a larger white student who initiated the physical encounter, claimed self-defense and was sentenced to 35 years in prison, more time than former white police officers Derek Chauvin and Amber Guyger got for the murders of George Floyd and Botham Jean combined.
That’s why many Black Americans are not interested in lectures about “self-defense,” “respecting the verdict,” or “trusting the law” from people who applauded Rittenhouse, celebrated Penny, defended George Zimmerman, raised money for Derek Chauvin, and still make excuses for Amber Guyger.
The pattern is impossible to ignore.
When a white person kills a Black person, we’re told to understand the fear, consider the circumstances, extend grace, and give the benefit of the doubt.
When a Black person kills a white person, suddenly there is no grace, no nuance, no context, and no benefit of the doubt.
Don’t tell us the system is colorblind when we’ve watched the same people cheer one verdict and rage against another based almost entirely on who was holding the weapon and who ended up dead.
The issue isn’t whether America believes in self-defense. The issue is whose self-defense America is willing to believe.
⏰ I'm in contact with the attorneys for the families in Leesburg, GA attacked by the racist gunman Jeffrey Kinzer. Here is a statement their office has released regarding the Kinzer arrest. We will continue to follow up on this matter.
They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
