I avoid content designed to make me angry towards women like the plague, because that stuff slowly poisons your mind. Both genders are problematic and we all have legitimate grievances against each other. But at the end of the day, being angry and bitter doesn't help anyone.
🚨🇮🇱 A Palestinian mother says she found her missing child through a selfie posted by IDF soldiers. This is so heartbreaking.
Repost this, the world needs to see this.
And this is exactly why I don’t fuck with the whole bonnet ban conversation. It was never just about “professionalism.” A lot of it is rooted in people’s distaste and disdain for seeing products made specifically for Black hair worn in public.
Those women were staying at a hotel. They came downstairs early in the morning, wearing pajamas and bonnets, to eat the continental breakfast and mind their business. Instead, a grown man walked up filming, mocking, and harassing them as if they had done something wrong. They were not at work, in a courtroom, at a formal event, or bothering anyone. They were simply trying to eat breakfast.
That reaction proves the point. The moment some people see a Black woman in a bonnet or a Black man in a durag, they automatically start making assumptions about their character, class, intelligence, cleanliness, and self-respect. Even other Black people look at them with disgust and start talking down on them.
Wearing a bonnet outside does not justify humiliation, harassment, or public shaming. The fact that a harmless piece of hair protection can trigger this much anger says far more about the people doing the judging than it does about the person wearing it.
Our boys are being lynched. Our girls are being abducted. The Black vote is being suppressed. Black government workers are being fired from their jobs. Black women are dying during childbirth at high rates. We are losing acccess to clean drinking water, fresh produce and clean air. Yet, you all sit on the internet judging people over bonnets and durags to "prepare the youth" for a world that is LITERALLY ending. Wake tf up!
