We Can’t Ask Black People This… Apparently

My camera focusing on my shirt instead of my face the entire video was actually intentional. I identified as Black while filming this and the camera respected my identity. Please do the same.

Today I am discussing the viral controversy surrounding a woman who was labeled racist after asking a simple question about the cost of braids. I break down the backlash, the apology that followed, and how curiosity is now being mistaken for racism.
