I’m not sure what black woman experience @andrewschulz has had, but it hasn’t been the real “black girlfriend effect”. To insult black women and described them as complainers & abusive isn’t just untrue. It’s disrespectful. Even worse, James Duncan & Fuhad Dawodu allowing him to say it is more insulting.

Andrew Schultz spoke that way in front of two black men because they allowed him to. They made him comfortable enough to disrespect black women because they didn’t force him to respect them.

My experience is that black women are powerful, beautiful, strong, and supportive. They prioritize black family, community, & culture. They take steps back to push their men, and families forward. So, no Andrew the “black girlfriend effect” is nothing like what you described. I’m just upset that you don’t have enough solid black men around you to tell you differently!

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Hazel Dorothy Scott was an internationally known jazz and classical pianist and singer; she also performed as herself in several films. She was prominent as a jazz singer throughout the 1930s and 1940s.

In 1950, she became the 1st woman of color to have her own TV show, The Hazel Scott Show, featuring a variety of entertainment. To evade the political persecution of artists in the McCarthy era, Scott moved to Paris in the late 1950s and performed in France, not returning to the United States until 1967.

Born in Port of Spain, Hazel was taken at the age of four by her mother to New York. Recognized early as a musical prodigy, Scott was given scholarships from the age of eight to study at the Juilliard School. She began performing in a jazz band in her teens and was performing on radio at age 16.

On October 2, 1981, Hazel Scott died of cancer at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

She was 61 years old, and survived by her son Adam Clayton Powell III.

She was buried at Flushing Cemetery in Queens, New York, near other musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Johnny Hodges, and Dizzy Gillespie.

LEGACY:
🎹Scott was best-known internationally as a performer of jazz.

🎤She was also accomplished in politics, leading the way for African Americans in entertainment and film; and was successful in dramatic acting and classical music.

🎹She was noted for her swinging style, performing at the Milford Plaza Hotel in her last months.

The 369th Infantry Regiment, The Harlem Hellfighters.

Though they spent more time in battle than any other regiment and were one of the most decorated, they never got the recognition they deserved.

Holy shit. During a committee hearing on a bill to bring back the electric chair and firing squads, Rep. Paul Sherrell (R-TN) says they should also bring back lynching.

@Zay_fromHarlem @jaaycartii @flowerdevour69 @FaithLoves2Act @RealCarsonDavis But but but y’all missing the point. Men who gut punch chicks are weak. Men who gut punch chicks but still call them gf are weird. Men who leave toxic women are SMART. Too simple.
