When fashion houses don’t call to dress her and the invitation to the gala never arrives, it’s going to be 40 days and 40 nights of percocet and cocaine-fueled Jay Z/Roc Nation conspiracy tweets.
Meanwhile, the only person conspiring against her is her registered sex offender.
Twitter Beyhive loves jumping at any chance to be racist. Calling Brandy an urban act like Beyoncé doesn’t fall under the same umbrella and Lemonade wasn’t deemed an urban contemporary album.
Everyday words can hide histories we were never taught.
“No can do” mocked Chinese workers in the 1800s.
“Uppity” was used in the early 1900s to insult confident Black people.
“Peanut gallery” in the 1870s meant the only seats Black audiences were allowed.
“Grandfathered in” from the 1890s kept newly freed Black Americans from voting.
“Rule of thumb” from 1600s England was believed to permit a husband to beat his wife with a thumb-wide stick.
“Gypped” in the 1900s targeted Romani people as cheats.
“Nitpicky” in the early 1900s mocked poor workers and immigrants.
Words remember even when we forget.

It literally says “….the jury rendered its verdict, finding Defendant Milagro Elizabeth Cooper liable to Plaintiff Megan Pete for defamation per se” in the first paragraph. You’re only fooling people who are easily susceptible to bullshit bc they can’t fucking read.
@JeanEsseKwa@meghanncuniff I tweeted my opinion, you went off complaining about woke and acting like I tweet on your behalf with “must we forever be aggrieved”. The first word in my tweet was I. EYE wouldn’t use the word if I was a white journalist. EYE don’t use the word now. YOU were never a factor here.
@JeanEsseKwa@meghanncuniff I promise neither Meghann nor I are losing sleep or in any danger over her use of the word uppity, or my suggesting she retire it from her lexicon.
May you find a better use for your time than policing Black women for how they choose to engage racist terms. Bye!
@JeanEsseKwa@meghanncuniff White supremacy has you caping for a white woman’s right to say a word historically used to demean us, looks like it’s done an even bigger number on you.
