A Black woman in her own home called 911 due to a burglar in her home. This officer came in and shot her and refused for his partner to render aid to her. Say her name: Sonya Massey.
Don’t remain silent. Stand up for her and fight. This should not have happened…
A mother of four was shot and killed in Florida following a longtime feud with a neighbor who had complained about the victim’s children playing outside, authorities and a family attorney said.
Black trans women's life expectancy is 35 due to homicide. They're more likely to get assaulted. So the fear of coming out to men is absolutely fucking real. The threat of being killed or harmed is constantly playing in your mind. This is real & I'm so sorry this happened to her.
Black trans women have a life expectancy of 35 years old due to transphobic fueled Homicide. This is why yalls lil jokes and hot takes ain't funny. Trans folks just want to live their lives. They want to live unapologetically. They do not deserve harm or shame. Rest in power sis
Pastor Albert Weathers pleaded guilty to killing 36-year-old Kelly Stough - a transgender woman, and leaving her body in the street near McNichols and Brush in Detroit.
I didn’t expect for this post to go as viral as it did. My goal was to have her name amplified, for her story to be told and for people to rise up for her. Keep saying her name!!!
Sonya Massey 💜💕
@keescrawford
At a young age, people calling you racist slurs, probably always terrified about your dad getting unalived, trying to make good grades, the pressure of being an Obama, always under public scrutiny... I don't blame her
@omgashcheeks
I hate this standard that folks want us to adhere to. Braids can be elegant. You don't need straight hair or any other change. Our natural protective styles are a thing of beauty and should be worn unapologetically. Now auntie needs a few lessons of the culture.
I stayed blowing up their AG and Sherrifs 📞 making sure it was known that its not okay to kill someone just because. And if someone did the same to her, it would be perfectly fine to not be charged with a crime. You know... since you can just shoot someone now. 🤷🏿♂️ JUSTICE FOR AJ
Yall tripping over Kendrick and Drake, but the beefs in the alt scene go just as hard.
Issues vs. Woe Is Me
Oli Sykes vs. Kellin Quinn
Bert McCracken vs. Gerard Way
Taking Back Sunday vs. Brand New
Jonny Craig vs. Everybody and they mama.
@MasterHavik
I do. Lmfao do you hear yourself?
Have you organized anything a day in your life? Have you ever fought for your people to get justice? Doubt it. Fighting works. Doxxing racists works. She's now arrested. Put in the work or hush.
@omgashcheeks
Protective styles are meant to protect our hair from daily manipulation & adds protection from elements. They're versatile, easy to manage & absolutely stunning.
We can switch it up to casual to formal real quick. Add a few accessories or rock em as is. The choices are limitless
@MernenOSRS
@baddittude13
First of all, honey I can only post what I know. I posted the solid facts of this case. Obviously I’m not aware of the burglar’s whereabouts. Thank you
16 years old. Defending herself and her siblings against women who tried to harm her, her sister and Grandma. She was killed by Ohio PD in 2021. People showed misogynoir and adultification towards her immediately after her death.
I'm still livid.
Say her name: Ma'Khia Bryant.
@MasterHavik
If demanding justice for the most marginalized groups of people and showing the face of hatred makes me a criminal? Yep. I love it. I look good in an orange jumpsuit too, baby.
SAY HER NAME 📛 Leonna Hale 📛
A 26 year old pregnant Black woman who was unarmed was shot by Kansas City Police. She told the cops she couldn't get on the ground due to being pregnant...with her arms up mind you. And they shot her. Say her fucking name. Justice for Leonna Hale
We live in a world so obsessed and blinded by pop culture that Will Smith slapping Chris Rock stayed in the news cycle longer than the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings. That no one is appalled over mass amounts of immigrants dying in an uncooled trailer. Babies...We need to do better
@MadeInHawaii___
The adultification of little Black girls is absolutely disgusting. I applaud Chlöe for embracing her aesthetic and sexuality. Sad people still try to treat her like a little kid and degrade her for it
@emilygmonster
We took her just for a checkup. But this one S C R E A M E D so loud that vets came barging in thinking there was a human child being beaten... She heard another dog outside the door and lost her shit.
Today, as Shanquella Robinson is being laid to rest, her killers are still out here. They get to live their full lives. They get to hug their families. They get to go on more trips. All while Shanquella's family grieves.
Justice for Quella.
Say her name.
#shanquellarobinson
Today, Sonya’s tape is going to be released at 2pm. Please be gentle with yourself and keep your mental health in mind… Do not view it if you are sensitive to graphic content. If you need help after viewing it, reach out and talk to friends or family. This is going to be rough
In 1985, the city of Philadelphia dropped a bomb in a Black neighborhood. Killing 11, including 5 children and leaving 250 people homeless. 27 year old Walter Wallace Jr was killed by the same police Monday. Black rage doesn’t happen spontaneously. It’s been here.
#phillyprotests
@JABBstract
This means:
Gay
Trans
Fat
Dark skinned
Folks that got bbls
Ppl that wear bonnets outside
Single moms
Heaux
Folks experiencing homelessness
Folks experiencing drug addictions
Weave wearers or 4c haired
And more.
Fuck your respectability politics and your standards
@jaytwnk
It's not for you. Idk what ppl want us to do when they tell us they don't like her. What are we supposed to do with this information? Would you like a cookie? A gold metal?
@MasterHavik
That's cute. I've been organizing for a long time. Helped organize the 1st George Floyd rally in Detroit. Mutual aid for the queer community. And been fighting for Black women and non men by any means necessary. If ur fight isn't radical its not a fight.
@luisitocrz
It's only so much collective suffering folks can take. Keep kicking us and were gonna end up fighting back. For generations, we've been oppressed by systemic racism. These modern day lynchings are our breaking point. If it all burns tonight, can't nobody say we didn't warn them
@perezidentes
Black trans women have a life expectancy of 35...because they're killed majorily by BM. It's not a myth. It's real. Look at how Zaya Wade gets treated in online spaces. Any time a gay Black person exists, here goes the "thoughts?" Posts.
To me it's half and half.
I lost my cousin and my friend from Covid this year. About a week or so a part.
Covid is STILL here. It's STILL killing people. Disabled people and other immunocompromised persons still want and need to mask up.
There is PTSD related to Covid and we cant just forget. F
Imagine how miserable you have to be to poke at a woman who went through severe trauma that ain't even checking for you. And to bring up a dead disabled nigga too?
It's giving coke. It's giving washed up. It's giving mean girl who peaked in high school.
@FluffyRudyy
I didn't even read them. I already knew the transphobia and misogynoir was gonna be strong.
Baby, protect your spirit and mental health. When it's posts like that, leave them comments be. If you can. Its only going to bring you anger. I'm about to stop completely
@MsAlphaMu
@Kyla_Lacey
Yes we are. Our people lead rebellions and fought back against our oppressors.
Don't disrespect the very people that gave us our drive to fight.
@evanrosskatz
Jane was a Black Panther back in the day. She fought for civil rights, opposed the Vietnam War--it severely hurt her career until her middle age, she practices intersectional feminism, etc. I have loved her since I was a kid.
THIS is what allyship is. Not blacking your pfp 😒
@1Tarig
@BougieBlackness
Lowkey for a sec when this came out... I thought she was singing it. I’m like “damn. She can do Riley AND body this song!?.... wait.....”
@TMZ
Dark skinned, non ambiguous Black folk have been saying this for how long? We got called "bitter" "jealous" "divisive" and other stereotypes.
Colorism has existed since slavery... This isn't new and just exclusive to the entertainment industry.
If you love the cultural appropriation, you'll love the real thing:
Freaknik
Black hairshows
Black Auntie's and mamas back in the 90's to early 2000's.
Chances are, her stylist never even knew what "spritz" was and thought "beeswax" was only for candles
Muhiyidin d'Baha (Muhiyidin El Amin Moye) was an activist based in Charleston who was a leading voice during the early days of the BLM movement.
'17 d'Baha snatched a confederate flag during a counter protest at a Bree Newsome lecture
He was assassinated in '18 at the age of 28.
Justice for 22 year old Courtney Copeland. In 2016, he was shot in Chicago and flagged Chicago P.D down. He reached out for help and they did absolutely nothing. He died at the hospital.
#Dateline
When Issues dropped this diss against Woe Is Me... this was our Not Like Us in the alt scene.
I don't fuck with Tyler Carter anymore but baaaaby... him and Michael dropped them nukes
@BlackAndSuper
It's Blackface. A white man voicing a Black man. Trying their best to relate to Blackess while being very tone deaf the entire time. No. It is not a Black show.
@tigergoodsmusic
Also, can we talk about how the Black community has an obsession with the LGBTQA community? Leave us the fuck alone. What we do, how we dress, who we fuck is up to us. Yall stay in our business
Ta'Kiya Young mattered. Say her name. She did not deserve to lose her life as well as her unborn daughter. Even if she was stealing, that should not warrant her death.
She deserves justice.... We have to stand up for Black women unapologetically.
Say her name: Ta'Kiya Young
@Nard989000
@femalerapgamee
Y'all weird.
She was being HERSELF. Then she also shouted out other girls in the game. Don't point out shit that's not there. That's weird energy, baby
@asvpnailbar
Yo. This is their culture. Can we please respect it? Different cultures eat different things during celebrations. We all know this by now.
White people on social media are just now learning about the green book, Tulsa, Emmett Till, etc. But yet, Black books are getting banned in several states. Folks are having discussions about getting rid of "critical race theory"🙄 which is for law students. America has a problem
@netflix
Please stop using aave. Y'all got rid of the majority of your Black staff, and now y'all are trying to use our lingo and doing it wrong. It's "clap back." Not "snap back." She doesn't have a kid....
@lildurk
Have that talk. Don't be emotionally immature. Date folks that match your energy. Do not build up walls based off what someone on Twitter told yall to do. A real one would never use this against you. Ever.
@_PetiteTing
Here's the thing. You have to listen to that friend. When they say you don't get it, they experience life way differently than someone who is pretty by societies standards. It goes beyond just feeling bad for themselves. They usually get left out while hanging--
The craziest shit I've seen on this app is folks laughing and siding with Blueface and Daystar when they perpetuate violence against Black women... But Keke Palmer doing a song with Usher is extreme.
Please continue to pray for the hearts and minds of the family of Shanquella Robinson. Black trauma is not entertainment. No one needed to see the video of her being beaten. Y'all was just upset over Takeoffs body being plastered on here. What about Black women?
Rest peacefully
This was Kelly. She was an amazing advocate and a strong voice for the trans community here in Detroit. She is absolutely missed and her work still lives on.
Reminder: if you are not Black, do not tell Black people how to deal with generations of Black trauma. We witness lynchings of our people. And you tell us we aren't allowed to be angry. That buildings have more value than a Black life.
Keep your thoughts to yourself tomorrow.
Just because Katt Williams didn't go out of his way to disrespect trans and gay folks y'all think it's trash lmao. Y'all have the same sense of humor as a damn 13 year old
@OportunoSmith
@piercerkenzie
Bw are 4x more likely to die from Homicide. Misogynoir-misogyny against bw often leads to these deaths. Black femicide is a major issue in America. Susan was a racist(she used a slur.) Aj being a bw has everything to do with this. Do not erase her identity. Educate urself baby.
What kills me the most about conservatives is that they stay bashing liberals for being snowflakes and too pc and sensitive.... when these fools are banning books like Judy Blume and crying over Potatohead's gender neutrality and the Green m&m not being sexy anymore.
@_PetiteTing
Out. Folks approach the friend and completely disregard their existence. They do get treated differently. Just ask them about their scope of things and try to have an understanding of what it's like to walk in their shoes
I'm not arguing with anyone who doesn't put in the work for my community. I'm not wasting labor on mfs who uses hotep/incel YouTube as a form of education. I suggest yall don't either. No one is entitled to labor. We know the stats and the truth. So don't waste your breath.
Jaheim McMillan was only 15 when he lost his life in front of a Family Dollar in Gulfport Mississippi in October. His hands were up. His brother laid on his body and wailed. Begging him to wake up. Black folks are tired. We're angry. There's no peace until there's justice.
We have a saying in our community "if they betrayed Jesus, what do you think they'll do to you?" Referring to snakes in your friend circle. Not Jewish people. Jennifer Anniston owes dude an apology tbh and herself some icy hot for that arm... I know it's sore from that reach
