People hate on Sha’Carri Richardson since she is not their vision of a respectable Black woman athlete.
Sha’Carri has tattoos, is queer, not light skinned, wears long multicolored weaves and long nails many consider unprofessional, “ghetto and too Black.”
Her name sounds Black and we live in an anti-Black world. Regardless, Sha’Carri is unapologetically herself She’s not trying to assimilate to Eurocentric beauty standards.
She won’t adhere to respectability politics to gain the “respect” of racists and self hating Black people. Sha’Carri exercises boundaries with the public and press in ways women athletes are told not to.
When you can’t be controlled and are happy with who you are and what you’ve achieved your confidence will be seen as a threat to those without it. That’s why she’s an icon. 💜
We should celebrate that not shame her.
If you are Black… and watched how Trump talked to those Black journalists and women and you still want to vote for him. Please keep your Black ass away from meeeeeee. Thanks.
Black Men remember Trump took out an ad in the paper calling for the death penalty to be brought back in response to 5 innocent black little boys who were false convicted of rape with no evidence…idk why yall think that man gives a flying fuck about yall.
I hate how the media was so quiet about Angel Reese having over 17k attendance (a new franchise record for NYL) at the game a few days ago.
