I decided to chat about the slap, because I felt like respectability politics and the colonial compulsion to erase black women were causing folks to be deliberately obtuse.  There is literally legislation being passed to stop hair discrimination that specifically targets black women, and still people think black girl hair is a laughing matter. Black women are not punching bags or punchlines. Folks have been lynched in the name of "protecting" white women and a slap in defense of a black woman got people losing their minds. That slap proved that a lot of folks don't care what is said or done to a black woman and even more need some sense knocked into them.
