The tweet compared Ari Lennox and Teyana Taylor to Rottweilers and it immediately sparked a larger conversation targeted towards black women and there facial features.
Ari Lennox and Teyana Taylor’s ability to have dangerously high sex appeal while simultaneously looking like rottweilers will always amaze me

Moms and Dads please love on your beautiful black children. Tell them they’re beautiful constantly. Tell them Black people are beautiful. Tell them black features are beautiful.

Why are you so comfortable tearing down Black women and no other race? Look around! When are Hispanic women ever compared to dogs? When do they do that? When do they do that to white women? When are white men doing that to white women? When are Hispanic men doing that to Hispanic women? They’re not doing it.”
“I made this live because I want people to know I really do love myself,” she continued on IG. “I love my nose. I love Black features. I want us to get to a point where we are becoming aware of the self hate sometimes when you are referring to Black women as a dog. Because we’re not doing this to other races. Or other black women who don’t have a nose like this.”
