People are using this as an excuse to say "now the police won't look for Black women for real!!" Like... they had to start a TikTok and Twitter campaign for the police to look for her this go around. They already ain't lookin'!

Anyway. GIRL. 🙄

Sorry if I can't express myself properly but this particular take annoys me so much (not a jab at you btw i know you're just bringing the info) bc it's not like the police actually needs excuses nor reasons to ignore black women, yet when a black person does something shitty you have people coming out of the fucking sewer to spew bullshit like SEE, THEY LIE. It's so fucking dehumanizing how black people don't get to be individuals to the public, as if their mistakes suddenly represent an entire community. Meawhile you have white men promote massacres on a weekly basis and it's never an issue of race nor gender.

Idk I'm just feeling some type of way about this story. I'm not defending her at all but it does break my heart that she's most likely a clueless 20 something who didn't think shit through, and now she's gonna be used as a scapegoat for a much bigger issue. It's just unfair all around tbh.
