I knew this was coming!

The new “uppity” negro code word is “smug”!

How dare an educated black woman conceive of talking with confidence!

I believe this is why some people don’t like her. They couldn’t quite put their finger on why. It’s a trigger. Deep down inside it bothers people that she is so confident and direct.

Only white men can be direct!

This used to happen to me at work. I know the feeling.

This is why Michelle Obama is liked and Kamala isn’t. Michelle didn’t dare run for any office. And she used to say when they go low we go high. She started a garden for the White House kitchen. She did “women’s work”. She didn’t dare be “smug”!

This is what they also did to Hillary when she was First Lady. How dare she try and come up with policy for health care!

“Smug”

We all need to show them

SMUG!🖕🏽
