From LSU’s Angel Reese catching flack for her “you can’t see me” gesture during the national championship game to the backlash Megan Thee Stallion received during the Tory Lanez shooting case, there are so many examples of the ways Black women are misunderstood and disrespected.
Time and time again, history shows Black women we are not worth protecting. And that our physical and psychological safety are often at risk. From the staggering statistic that 40 percent of all missing persons cases are people of color but significantly underrepresented in news coverage to the lack of justice given to Black women who are domestic violence and sexual assault victims, we are always seen as the problem.
Although this episode was taped prior to LSU Tigers winning the national championship, this conversation is absolutely relevant to that situation. As the saying goes, "Same 💩, different day"!
