“Black women” became one of the top trending topics on Twitter throughout the night on Tuesday and into the morning after exit polls showed 97% of black women voted for Democrat Doug Jones in the Alabama Senate special election.
Nearly all the most popular tweets had one thing in common: demands for payment.
Thank black women by supporting black women. Pay us. Vote with us. Hire us. Read our writing. Fund our projects and ministries. Vote us into office. Purchase from our businesses. Amplify us. Stand against racism and sexism.

“Thank you Black women.”
This isn’t a gift, it’s a loan.
Start paying us back by stepping up when publications and miscellaneous folks find a way to dump on us.
And yes, they’ll find a way.
Yup. Still.
