“I never believed it when people or news reports or anything else mentioned that systemic racism is continuing to poison Western civilization, but now that someone called my friend a nigger, I’m here to tell you all that RACISM DOES EXIST. You are all allowed to believe in it now. Sincerely, Sam Smith.”

That’s why…

HAHAHAHAHAHA no.

Her conclusion is right w/r/t BET, but her reasoning is utterly ridiculous.
