This must be hard for many ADOS or whatever some of us Black Americans identify as. For decades, we've heard Democratic elected officials say that there isn't anything our government can do to make us whole. They don't have the power, whether in or out of power. So, it's disappointing to see the same Democrats stick together, turn American citizens' lives upside down to have laws changed to protect folks here illegally and unlawfully. It's a hard pill to swallow, even harder in an election year. Please share this.

Gen X and millennials were the primary participants in the Global War on terror. If you thought regular Xers and millennials were salty. Let me introduce you to a bunch of PTSD war veterans. Buckle up.

They fumbled the ball so badly that they tried to attract Black Americans back to it for this year. Good look on selecting Teyana, but I'll go when they pay the city & vendors from last year.

Understanding black culture is understanding it’s over. We ain’t forgot last year should’ve been dedicated to Frankie Beverly an all white affair. That was your demographic.

Essence Fest is for immigrants now. Also, they can’t even get native New Orleans folks to curate cultural activities. Y’all down bad.

FBA fam, Don’t fck with Essence. Don’t give them a penny of your money nor a second of your attention. Africans have SOILED Essence. Let them have it. Teyana Taylor is Trinidadian. Let her ppl support her. Stay on code. #FBA

You're clearly not Black owned. You're African owned. Black equates to Black American Freedmen in these United States. Essence Ventures LLC is chaired by Richelieu Dennis. Richelieu Dennis is from Liberia, a country in West Africa. His family roots trace back to Africa, with his grandmother being from Sierra Leone. He became a refugee in the United States after civil war prevented him from returning to Liberia. This wouldn't be a problem if they didn't ruin the entire festival, by being disrespectful. Boycott.

Essence is not Black American owned it’s immigrant owned. The disrespect that it has shown toward Foundational Black Americans will not be ignored nor tolerated. It will be thrown back into their face. Xenophobic Essence is dead and yall just haven’t gotten the memo.
