Ya'll should get into this when u get a chance
they found tweets from that stephon guy (who was killed by cops - shot in the back)
a lot of black women are refusing to support him cuz of things he said.
he was another who seemed BOLD enough to come owt and express himself.
"i dont want anything Black but an Xbox".
and he purposely had kids with an Asian woman so that he could have mixed bvys.
I get it - I'm not moving to take away the fact that my sisters were hurt by his comments.
but he was only 22 years old. And made those tweets when he was like 20.
He had SO much time to at least learn how to keep his nonsense to himself.
I watched this earlier and fully see both sides.
You can't expect black women, who already feel marginalized and silenced by their own community, to rally around someone who went of their way to collectively disrespect them.
But it's also somewhat disingenuous to scream about how ALL black lives matter and then turn around and put qualifiers on who gets your support and who doesn't.
My own gripes with the way certain activist/groups move have made me realize that I can emotionally afford to wait for someone else to protect or fight for me.
