Our beloved Lessie Benningfield Randle, one of the two last living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, turns 110 years old on today, Sunday, Nov. 10. #JusticeforGreenwood
Eldest daughters, this World Mental Health Day, we want to take a moment to honour you. The silent protectors, the natural leaders, and the ones who often carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Always remember, you come first- every other identity follows after. ๐
Iโm not sure what black woman experience @andrewschulz has had, but it hasnโt been the real โblack girlfriend effectโ. To insult black women and described them as complainers & abusive isnโt just untrue. Itโs 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 didnโt 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 โblack girlfriend effectโ is nothing like what you described. Iโm just upset that you donโt have enough solid black men around you to tell you differently!
