In her explanation, she detailed just why Black people don't feel safe in white spaces and why Black women are justifiably perceived as "angry" as times. Take a look at what she had to say, below:

We are at an ELECTRONIC and DANCE music concert and you are telling...not asking me...to sit down. In front of my child.
solange knowles  ✔@solangeknowles
We walk in, and one of my favorite songs, Machine, is on. I'm excited to tell my son about how hip hop sampled Kraftwerk. We are dancing.

I took my son, his friend, and my husband to see Kraftwerk in New Orleans...
Was very excited to dance and enjoy a band I love.

4 older white women yell to me from behind, "Sit down now" . I tell them I'm dancing at a concert. They yell, "u need to sit down now"...

But in this moment, I'm just going to share my experience...
So that maybe someone will understand, why many of us don't feel safe...
solange knowles  ✔@solangeknowles
...in many white spaces...

We don't "bring the drama"....

Fix yourself.

solange knowles  ✔@solangeknowles
Peeps try to give POC, a "u can only speak out racism 3 strikes...or U r the problem" card.
