We Can’t Blame This One On White Supremacy And Single Black Mothers
Singer Ciara responds on Twitter to Jason Whitlock about his reprehensible statement concerning Black women.
It’s a shame that a brutal beating that took the life of Tyre Nichols by five Black male officers, has turned the conversation to…Black women. If you are not familiar with the story, 29-year-old FedEx worker Tyre Nichols was pulled over for a “routine traffic stop”, then brutally, savagely beaten by five Black male officers, to which Nichols died three days later from those injuries.
I did not watch the video of the beating, and do not plan on watching it for obvious reasons, however Memphis police chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said herself that the cops appeared to be the aggressors, and what makes it worse is that they were part of a special unit she created to spread positivity and clean up neighborhoods.
This article is not about her though. It’s about what Jason Whitlock, a well-known sports journalist who said,
“This beating occurred because of the poor supervision of single Black women over their Black[sons]”
It was the ignorance heard ‘round the world.
