‘Atlanta’ Actor Lakeith Stanfield Fiercely Defends Black Women After Driver Disses Them

That’s what you need to do every time someone tries to diss black women. Black women are the most targeted people in America, they have been through a lot. They are strong, they are powerful, because what they’ve been through taught them how to deal with these things. They don’t forget hatred, don’t forget the struggles and the way the behave is just the result of how society treats them. Have some respect.

i’m not even gonna say rest in peace because it’s bigger than death. i never met the man (i was too nervous the one time i saw him) and i never saw him play live, regrettably. i only know the legends I’ve heard from folks and what i’ve heard and seen from his deep catalog of propellant, fearless, virtuosic work. my assessment is that he learned early on how little value to assign to someone else’s opinion of you.. an infectious sentiment that seemed soaked into his clothes, his hair, his walk, his guitar and his primal scream. he wrote my favorite song of all time, ‘when you were mine’. it’s a simple song with a simple melody that makes you wish you thought of it first, even though you never would have - a flirtatious brand of genius that feels approachable.  he was a straight black man who played his first televised set in bikini bottoms and knee high heeled boots, epic. he made me feel more comfortable with how i identify sexually simply by his display of freedom from and irreverence for obviously archaic ideas like gender conformity etc. he moved me to be more daring and intuitive with my own work by his demonstration - his denial of the prevailing model…his fight for his intellectual property - ‘slave’ written across the forehead, name changed to a symbol… an all out rebellion against exploitation. A vanguard and genius by every metric I know of who affected many in a way that will outrun oblivion for a long while. I’m proud to be a Prince fan(stan) for life.

Racism is like a Cadillac, they bring out a new model every year.

YAAAAAAAASSSSS. Don’t be fooled by this “post-racial society". Jim Crow is alive and real. One of my professors in class said, “Jim Crow is still around. He’s James Crow now. He doesn’t have to be obnoxious or wear a KKK uniform. He’s very polite, wears a suit, and sits on Capitol Hill. Same guy. Different tactics.“

cool thanks for sharing all sympathy is now out the window

mind u they ranged from 16-23 years old living in the basement of the owner who’s restaurant they worked at , but them being here illegally was definitely relevant enough to put as the headline

Such important information.

Shit like this pisses me off. Why was their residential status included in the title?They are still human beings that deserve respect.

As a journalist like we learn that you can be sued for your headlines or lose your job like are they above recrimination or?????
