Do not come on my posts with “Black Women Are Superhuman Beings Who Can Handle Anything” takes. That’s a dangerous and reductive rhetoric rife with misogynoir. No, black women cannot take more negative and harmful attacks than other women can. Black women are not primed to withstand more attacks and harassment than women of other races. Stop. That is horrifying. Black women deserve grace, compassion, and a soft place to rest, not constant burdens.
The boot lickers really like to correct two points:
Breonna Taylor was not sleep when she was shot: true, she was awoken by the battering ram used to crash her door in at 1am.
Police didn’t shoot first: also true. Kenneth shot an officer in the leg when they entered and, naturally, because they’re all scared incompetent knobs, they responded in a hail of bullets, eight of which entered Breonna.
The cops claim to have knocked and announced themselves. This is a lie. No neighbors heard them announce themselves. Furthermore, they obtained a no-knock warrant specifically for the sole purpose of carrying out a drug raid by catching a drug dealer off guard and forcibly entering without warning (such as a knock and announcement). They wanted that specific warrant so much they misrepresented evidence to a judge to get it. So they did all that and got a warrant saying they did not have to knock or announce themselves and then just went on ahead and did it anyway? Cause they’re just so polite?
They were also in civilian clothing and either not wearing body cams or had them turned off. So I’m not even sure how their word was just taken on all that.
They have indicted ONE cop for something that had nothing to do with her murder, it was for endangering the lives of OTHER residents by opening fire inside of an apartment complex.
A reminder that the person they were looking for, Breonna’s ex-boyfriend, was already in custody at the time they murdered her.
A reminder that the mail investigator or whoever they claimed to get a tip from to get the warrant said they lied.
A reminder that the cops submitted an almost blank report with blatant lies, including that Breonna was not injured.
A reminder the prosecution tried to get Breonna’s ex-boyfriend to implicate her in his crimes in April, after they had killed her.
A reminder that because of Breonna’s case, no-knock warrants are no longer allowed in Louisville (but they knocked right?)
A reminder that the city settled out of court for $12M in the wrongful death suit, so they possibly feared losing in court and paying more.

“In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau’s famous motto, “Anyone can cook.” But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist; but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau’s, who is, in this critic’s opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France.”
The “dark truth” behind mansplaining: it’s total bullshit. Most of the time these kind of things aren’t what “mansplaining” is. More than half the time “mansplaining” is just a male person saying something to the contrary. That’s it; that’s mansplaining. When it’s not a means to shit on men for the actions of a few (much to the dismay of the last comment in the gifset), it’s an out on having to answer for some kind of wrongdoing. Especially when it comes to pseudo-scientific buzz topics.
But, you know, as a male myself I expect that some woman or feminist will drop by and either preach at me the ways that they think this action is justified or try to dismiss my point with some kind of “sassy” remark.
So, please, femsplain it to me. ;B
