Obianuju Ekeocha, earlier this morning, pointed out and old tweet from Deceider saying, “if you hated [Michelle Wolf’s] #WHCD speech, you’ll HATE her new Netflix show.”
As Obianuju so rightly pointed out, “this tweet from May aged like wine” as viewers DID hate her Netflix show and that’s why it was cancelled:
This tweet from May aged like wine…So many of us hated that #WHCD speech, we lamented and complained about it but @netflix didn’t care so they signed her up anyway. And now they are having to cancel within a few months??♀️ https://t.co/uvL34D7E8M

Which brings us to activist Benjamin O’Keefe who took issue with Obianuju tweet and called her a “joke of a Black person” over it:

And that didn’t go well for O’Keefe:
I am a joke of a black person?
I was born in Nigeria,I’m daughter of the Igbo tribe,I can talk for hours(in my native language)about the traditions of my people. When I die I will be buried beside my ancestors in the land passed down for generations.
Benjamin what is your tribe? https://t.co/dSyxpVtZcf— Obianuju Ekeocha (@obianuju) August 21, 2018
Someone call 911 because we’d like to report a murder:

O’Keefe really needs to apologize for this one:
Yep. And honestly I don’t enjoy hitting people like this. I would have been ok with the first part of his tweet but he had to go and call me a“joke of a black person”. For goodness sake I didn’t even speak fluent English until I was 11. Never stepped out of Africa until I was 24.

And this is important, too:
I don’t enjoy it either. But someone needs to stand up to bullies like that. Too many people are getting comfortable w/ spouting straight up lies. It’s being celebrated now. It helps no one.
