Taraji P. Henson Checks Fan Who Called Her a ?Black Racist? for Celebrating Black BeautyYesterday actress Taraji P. Henson posted a meme on her instagram account that celebrated the beauty of black women. Her caption:
Quote#Mood #SouthAfrica#TheMotherLand #BlackIsFuckinBeautiful#ProudBlackWoman right here. They tried to bury us and erase our history#IMPOSSIBLE ?????

TheShadeRoom.com was able to capture a screen shot of Taraji?s response to one of the commenters. The man pretty much accused Taraji of being a black racist because she only addressed her race as being beautiful in her Instagram post.

For some reason, some non-black people think that if black women celebrate themselves in any way, that means they believe they?re superior. After centuries of being oppressed, black women are finally embracing themselves and encouraging others to do the same.
Most would see that as a positive step forward, but some still believe that shedding a positive light on our blackness has a negative affect on them. Thankfully, Taraji is unapologetic in celebrating her blackness and isn?t afraid to check anybody who says that she shouldn?t.

" I just wanted to make you know if we would write something like "white is beauty" "white power" it would sound racistic to others. That was my point from the beginning. Go ahead and read the comments from your "black sisters" they're full of hate without knowing me. I don't understand this. Doesn't matter how we look like...the heart is important. I'm gonna pray for you because I'm muslim and it is the month of fasting. Your story touched my heart, may god always take care of you!"
sdkjnfffffffffffff
I'm sorry but comments like THIS piss me off more than overt racist comments.
"Don't tell me there is no racism against white ppl, you know damn well there are a lot ppl who hate me just because I'm white, just because they are different. In the end it is such a sad story because none learned from the history. You guys had such a good teacher Martin Luther King. Learn to love if you want to be loved. You should be able to accept everyone including yourself, we all are the same. We all can be proud. ✊🏻✌🏻️👑"
Lemme leave this instagram
I just wanna punch this bitch

vcdfgdbfggggggggggggggggggg
this is the kind white people mlk was talking about in 'letter from a birmingham jail'
It would be weird if Jessica Simpson or Mandy Moore pulled some white girl empowerment mess, but the historical context IS different.
