This Is Why I Said What I Said Regarding Black Women

A tale of two black women and the pushback they get for being beautiful or productive

A white female Tik Toker said,

“I don’t owe Black women compliments! I don’t have to tell them they are beautiful. Those hair decorations look like poop- dingleberries.”

While driving in her car, she said this with two biracial children sitting in the back and an entirely Black male in the passenger seat next to her.

There is a reason I am referring to her as a female and him as a male. She chose to wake up one day and find a Black woman’s hair to make fun of, which is what people have done forever. So she is not doing anything new.

Her “man” says nothing. He looks weird.

They are now, in my opinion, males and females, not man and woman. Her attitude and words scream self-loathing and extreme hate towards women she does not know. She looks as plain as Xerox paper and I mean that on God. She behaves as she looks. This is not cool.

This is why I wrote the article below, so you can gauge the type of mentalities you have to deal with in this world:
