Activist Demands Reparations for All 'Fat, Black' Women
National Review ^ | June 10, 2016 | Katherine Timpf

Ashleigh Shackelford says she's owed everything from housing to free Beyoncé tickets.

According to a piece on an "intersectional feminist media" website, "fat, black" women are owed reparations due to the "trauma" that comes with being one.

"The case for reparations for fat Black b****** is: f*** you, pay us," self-described "queer, agender Black fat femme writer, artist, and cultural producer" Ashleigh Shackelford writes in a piece for Wear Your Voice.

What kind of reparations? She makes sure to clarify that, too:

Let me be clear, though: when I say, "F*** you, pay me," I mean, "F*** YOU. PAY ME." Pay me a check, pay me consistently, provide me safe housing, offer me a job with benefits, run me those Beyonce tickets, finance my clothes and wigs and aesthetics, cultivate accessibility to spaces and provide seats that fit me, see and validate my humanity.

Shackelford insists that these reparations are well-deserved, because "[t]he intellectual, emotional and actual physical labor fat Black b****** provide is actually invaluable to the entire world."

She would probably be a pretty girl; if she lost about a thousand pounds.

Gotta be a prank.

From the article:

"Now, just how serious she is in this demand for reparations isn’t entirely clear, however, she does provide a link to donate to her PayPal in her bio below the article for anyone who might want to “support [her] emotional and intellectual labor.”

Well Hollywood has been pushing shows like The Underground and Roots which are both written and prouced by black people. Methinks this is their plan to use them as propaganda to soften the mush between the libs heads even more so they can demand reparations.

Actually, this is a pretty typical attitude for any black person. My apologies to black people who are not this way.

" ratched ghetto trash hair hatted hooligan"

Hair should never:

Be mistaken for a hat.
Resemble a craft, such as macrame.
Render a thorough washing impractical for a period of longer than two days.
Contain color(s) not present in the simple prism of white light.
Require the presence of more petroleum based products than your car.
Provide shelter for critters normally targeted by the Orkin Man.
Cause threat and contraband sensitive canines to go on alert.
Look like a lacquered pineapple.

(This list is by no means offered as complete, but it can serve as a fundamental framework for the "Dont!" points of hair design.)
