Well said! Kevin Samuels comments and dialogue regarding Black women were usually pejorative and demeaning in nature.

To say that Black women should listen to what he had to say about us and the value we do or don’t possess is repugnant. That would be to acquiesce to yet another example of boundless misogyny.

While his death should not be celebrated, I refuse to cry or mourn his passing. It seems people would prefer disingenuous grief, rather than the authentic position to feel nothing at all.
