#SupremeCourt the responses of the hypocrites on Fox News...aren't just disappointing&enraging,they are sad&if I may, cruel. If u are not Black, consider me one of your Black neighbors. This drivel hurts to hear.they are talking abt my Mother, Grandmother, sisters, cousins&aunts

My late Mom was the smartest person I think I ever met. She had so many dreams and ambitions but many were stolen by racism&deep sexism inside&outside her world.If people shit on Black women for having an overdue moment of representation they are not Americans to me.

No, we've had enough dehumanizing and knocking down of Black women. I am tired of people taking it lightly. The most valuable commodity in this country was once our mothers wombs &150 years after that value was canceled the likes of Janine Pirro (I don't care) ? competency

A bunch of glamour shot rejects& pseudo Mad Men&propped up Barbies judging our Queens. Nope. Im not angry, I'm furious. These mediocre people have no power here. They get paid millions to say despicable things abt the people I come from, the women who made their world possible.

Sean Hannity, the king of liars calling this "divisive," while cheering on Trump the Great White Dope for his misogyny&racial animus games. I can only hope that one day it will dawn on us as a society that the cheerleaders of discord aren't the people asking for the seats...

I will not let people disrespect them. I come from strong women going back to Sierra Leone 1750. I know the price paid by our women and so does this country. One seat is not enough. A coin is not enough. Symbolics aren't enough. But disrespect...never again.

The end.
