If she was anyone else but a Black girl, you would reaffirm her human emotions, instead of believing that they're tricks or tactics for manipulation.

If she wasn't a Black woman, you would understand her viewpoint and respect it, even when you don't share it. You'd find some empathy and basic comprehension to see things as they are instead of reaching to depths to label her foul language.

If she was someone else, you'd believe she had the right to be whoever she is, and you would potentially see even some fondness in her flaws.

But since she's a Black girl, because she's a Black woman, she's every vulgar thing under the sun, for things as simple as making mistakes, having emotions, and being a person.

If she isn't a slave or a prop, she's a villain. No matter what she did or said. If she isn't a villain, she's boring or useless.

We're not gullible nor are we blind. We're not fooled by recycled language for vastly different characters with vastly different personalities.
