Rep. Jasmine Crockett demonstrated today that accomplished black women like herself are to be respected, noting her honorary doctorate and her "technical" rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol.
Apparently, there was a dust-up at the Cannes Film Festival involving Kelly Rowland, former member of Destiny's Child. HuffPost was on it:
Rowland climbs the stairs and takes the hand of a companion and turns back to wave to fans again. Two other security guards close in to hasten her ascent and Rowland appears to touch the shoulder of one of them as if to tell her to back off.
She then points at her and continues to reprimand her. Another security guard intervenes as Rowland appears to talk firmly and point. Finally, she enters the Palais.
Rowland’s rep did not immediately respond to a HuffPost request for comment.
It made Variety and the Hollywood Reporter as well.

According to insiders, “The people who are assigned to helping stars walk the red carpet were being aggressive and Kelly was trying to ignore it.”

The singer then “had it” and snapped at the guard after they kept trying to hurry her up the stairs and placed their hand on her.
An insider told the Daily Mail that the singer ‘doesn’t care’ if she comes across as a Diva as she will always stand up for herself.

Reacting to every perceived slight with casual threats, violence and racial insults is nothing to be proud of as a people ✊🏿

Surely y'all aren't implying that black women are inherently violent. That wouldn't be a good look, would it?

You need a new social media person. This is not effective messaging.

We get it, you're insufferable. You act like we somehow aren't aware of this fact.

Well, look at that. The NAACP has just confirmed that the angry black woman stereotype is true.

Are you people serious?

Whites really have it against black women in power, like Crockett, or Fani Willis, or Letitia James. Don't try them.
