To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
Someone once told me I should stop doing music because I’m a mom.
Instead… I went in the studio and recorded “Treat Me Like a Princess.
Motherhood didn’t end my dreams. It gave me more purpose.
Still here. Still creating. Still standing on everything I’m called to do 🌸🏍️👑
🔥🚨BREAKING: Gingers have been uploading videos of them breaking down emotionally on TikTok because Black TikTokers declared that they are Black and ‘invited them to the cookout’ after Gingers claimed that the White race treats them differently.
According to Newsweek, after a creator on TikTok asserted that “Everyone who is ginger, who has red hair; those are Black people. All gingers are Black people. If they have red hair, they are Black,” the idea quickly swept across social media, in a manner similar to the discourse that all genders are Black women.
Shamar Dickens, a 33-year-old Black creator from Atlanta, told Newsweek that he has connected with many redheads who have shared their stories of ostracization or mistreatment with him, which caused him to think deeper about how other white people treat gingers and how white people, more broadly, treat Black people.
“There were so many of them with very much similar stories about their childhood and upbringing, which is what shaped my view on this. Gingers are definitely the Black people of the white community, especially after hearing of their history and their hardships,” Dickens said.
The trend is referencing the historic marginalization of ‘gingers,’ a phenotype highly associated with the Irish. The treatment of the Irish, particularly at the hands of the British, is well documented, and their discrimination continued well into American colonization.
This historically created solidarity between the African-American and Irish population.
