Wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all the tweeps who had my back in my unexpected Internet wrestling match with the Food Humorless Blog.
The ironic thing was I didn't realize how much of a storm it created until I got that threatening e-mail from the webmaster of the blog.
All I did was simply call them out for disrespecting Sonia Williams, and it became a major Twitter event.
What happened was I slammed the site for putting up a disrespectful thread straight up calling Ms. Williams a ->-bleeped-<-. The comment threads were even worse repositories of transphobia and racism characterizations of the beauty of Black women.
