crazy name like it's not like it's

organic like from the coochie lands like

just want to know how we going to talk

about it what does it look like moving

forward black women like sexy red keep

black women at the bottom why is sexy

red fighting so hard to be a dirty

disgusting

woman like I don't get it the way that

she's presenting herself and this is the

way that she's branding herself it makes

no

sense it makes no sense it's like you're

sitting there planning how I can be more

disgusting than anybody

else and and the the goal is

accomplished now I knew that her lip

loss names that had been released um

sometime last year she talked about them

I honestly thought it was just an idea

I'm like it's no way like it's no

way but to make this like it's a

joke gharia women who struggle with STI

like that's not a joke so to make it a

the name of your lip gloss it doesn't

get any more filthy like and we are at

the bottom and that's just what it is

she's keeping us at the bottom fighting

to be at the bottom to be seen in that

light is just I don't I don't get it

it's so frustrating because again as I

say all the time young girls are

watching this stuff and best believe

it's going to

sell women are going to buy this stuff

but this is this is not our history this

is not how black women openly portrayed

themselves to to stoop to this

level I it's just it's it it it really

is another level of Filth and disgusting

and taking ghetto to a whole another

level and the thing that kind of irks me

just a little bit is like that 3% of the

room that's just just sitting in the bag

screaming because anything they see that

is black they deem is powerful will sit

there and say oh sexy R been like this

sexy R was always like this y'all just

mad fake outrage and fake this and fake

that so you mean to tell me that you are

fine with the concept of somebody

promoting something that revolves around

your body and issues with your body in

public you proud of that you are fine

with that you seek no issue with that

and you have no issue with that because

person has been like that the entire

time so it makes it a perfect

justification to start selling this

primarily to black people and it's just

part of that weird thing that y'all deem

the culture because I guess that's what

y'all feeling On Any Given Saturday

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday or any

other day it is embarrassing that there

are individuals of prominent status

doing things that they might think in

their mind or their team thinks in their

mind this is what the black community is

all about and so they're going to Market

this towards the black people and it is

objectively an embarrassment and for the

people who don't like the woman you're

going to have to at least admit in some

Avenues Candace Owens was right about

certain influences towards the black

community because it's embarrassing that

it's taken this long for people to start

getting the [ __ ] point without

claiming that oh I don't want to say

this because I don't want to sound like

one of these white people people you

don't sound white for wanting good

representation and good Community

leaders you sound like a normal [ __ ]

human and you know what also makes you a

good [ __ ] human not walking around

buying a literal promotion of diseases

and issues with the [ __ ] body
