Tiffany Washington talks her shit from the backwoods of Alabama. Her work appears on Facebook because she’s already been rejected by The Root.
Today in Black history, we honor the man, the legend…white savior extraordinaire…John ‘F my black friends when they step out of line’ Kennedy.
Sammie Davis Jr. loved JFK. He went out of his way to campaign for him….even enduring the boos he received while singing the national anthem at the Democratic National Convention in 1960.
This man even had a special suit made to wear to Kennedy’s inauguration. However, his marriage to May Britt, a blonde Swedish actress proved to be the line for Kennedy.
Kennedy disinvited Sammie Davis Jr. from the inauguration he was previously supposed to be performing at just three days before it was supposed to take place.
In case you’re trying to forgive him already, he was also said to have sneered at Davis and his wife during a reception for African American leaders in 1963, saying “get them out of here.”
Even your most liberal white friend will shun you when you aren’t being the nice obedient black person they want you to be.
