Roommates, one of the unfortunate realities of social media is that people are free to express their opinions—regardless of how wrong, misinformed or ridiculous they are. Actor Christian Keyes recently had to let an online troll know the consequences for typing your opinion, as he dragged them for criticizing his support of black women.
If you spend enough time on social media, you’re bound to encounter someone who pipes up in your comments disagreeing with something you posted, that has absolutely nothing to do with them. If you’re anything like Christian Keyes, you probably took a deep breath and then proceeded to read them for filth…in the best way possible.
Christian recently posted, “black women are definitely superheroes” on his Instagram page and unexpectedly a woman decided to try and correct him by writing “*all women” as a response. She probably didn’t expect him to notice and respond to her comment, but he did and it was glorious.

Christian responded to her with this:
“I said what I said …It’s a shame that we can’t even celebrate black women without “others” popping up talking about “what about us”…just because somebody says something positive about black women, it doesn’t mean that they don’t think the same about other women. It just means that here in this moment right now, I would like to say something positive and amazing about black women. If that offends you, then you are part of the problem. God Bless”
He also added:
“Just because you celebrate or compliment one particular ethnicity, doesn’t mean that other ethnicities aren’t great… It just means that RIGHT NOW, In this moment, I’d like to acknowledge the greatness of black women… It doesn’t mean your entitlement, insecurity, or inner bigotry should flareup… This statement shouldn’t offend anyone else and if it does, then YOU are the problem, NOT my statement… #ISaidWhatISaid Black women are definitely superheroes. (Feel free to disagree ON YOUR PAGE.)”
Welp, this is what happens when people neglect to mind the business that pays them.
