I love Popeyes just as much as the next girl, but do we really need a smiley face, Black lady named Alice cheesing it up to tell us how good their chicken is? Cause Black people just gotta be the foremost authority on chicken right? I mean we are, but still.
That's how people end up with a lil Shug Avery Pee in their glass.
The most fvcked part with Matthew Ajibade's death is most of these fools were Black! Like damn, just because you're Blue doesn't mean you stop being Black. They though the power of the shield would protect them from the repercussions of a cover up. Tuh, not even.
