Ashlee Jenae: The TRUTH Behind The Outrage & What Black Women Can Learn

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]So, I want to give my opinion on this Ashley Jenae story and discuss the discourse that's happening online. And before we get into it, I do exclusive content for Neptunian members and patrons. So, if you're interested in watching, the links to join are in the description box. Also, if you enjoy my content, be sure to like this video, share, and subscribe. So, Ashley Robinson, better known as Ashley Jenae, was a popular online influencer who recently went to Zanzibar in Tanzania, Africa to celebrate her 31st birthday with her fiance, Joe McCann. But, unfortunately, she passed away just days later under very suspicious circumstances.

[00:00:38]>> Now, the details on the investigation into the death of Ashley Robinson. Her family is demanding answers after the influencer from South Jersey was found dead during a trip to Africa where she had just been engaged. Action News reporter, Cheyenne Corrin, joining us live in the satellite center with more on this heartbreaking story. Cheyenne.

[00:00:57]Alicia, well, Ashley Robinson, she actually was raised locally in South Jersey, and now her death in Zanzibar is making headlines across the world. Well, today we spoke to her family in Delaware who say they aren't getting answers from her fiance or officials in Tanzania about what happened to her.

[00:01:14]Uncertainty, mystery, anger, um sadness.

[00:01:22]It's like a part of me has been taken away.

[00:01:24]>> On April 5th, influencer Ashley Robinson, who goes by Ashley Jenae on social media, was celebrating her 31st birthday in Zanzibar, Tanzania. She was on the vacation with her boyfriend of 1 year who popped the question just 2 days before. We believe that that they were in love. We believe that their relationship was genuine. Ashley's mother said she never would have expected that less than a week later her daughter would be dead. On April 8th, she says Ashley called saying she and her fiance got into an argument and were moved to separate rooms. The next day, she received another call, this time from her fiance.

[00:02:02]>> He told me that Ashley did something to herself and that she was being taken to the hospital. I said, "What happened when?" And he told me it had been 11 hours prior.

[00:02:13]>> Hours later, the luxury hotel the couple was staying at called saying Ashley passed away. According to the hospital's medical report, Ashley had an unidentified mark around her neck. They wrote, "Quote, according to the husband, he found she hanged herself on the door with several {question mark}." Sometime, Joe went back to the room with security, and that's how they found her. Ashley was also taken to a second hospital who listed her cause of death as cerebral hypoxia by strangulation and suffocation. She ever done anything that would ever ever lead me to believe that she would do something to harm herself.

[00:02:50]>> She was not just going to be discarded and forgotten about.

[00:02:54]And the family, as you just heard, they are just desperate for information. They tell us that they are requesting surveillance footage from the resort.

[00:03:01]They also say that they have contacted police, the consulate, and embassy and have not heard back. Now, Action News, we also tried to contact Ashley's fiance and we also did not get a response. The family says their next steps are going to Zanzibar Zanzibar themselves to try to get answers. And this is devastating.

[00:03:18]If they had to be separated and put into separate hotel rooms, that signifies to me that they were having a very heated and potentially violent argument. As of now, I personally don't believe that Ashley deleted herself, but if this does happen to be that, I have theories as to why she may have done it, but I am not going to speak on that unless it's confirmed. Everyone close to her is saying that she would have never done that to herself, and I know you can't always see people's internal struggles.

[00:03:45]Sometimes they hide it well, but it's just way too much going on with this case for me to automatically believe that she did that. And there was also a tweet from Ashley that resurfaced where she wrote that self-deletion is not the answer. So, that falls in line with what her family is saying about how she probably would just never do that to herself. And I know a lot could have changed since then. It doesn't necessarily prove that she didn't unalive herself, but I just need more confirmation to believe it. That's all I'm saying. And Joe's behavior since Ashley died is also extremely suspicious. Not only has he not been in contact with Ashley's parents, but he's been online on his X account posting like nothing happened, despite him just proposing to this woman in Africa. And I understand that not everyone makes these elaborate statements when their partner dies, but they typically just disappear from social media altogether. They don't just randomly post things like nothing happened, and they would certainly be in contact with the family and be involved in planning the funeral and other affairs after their partner passes away.

[00:04:45]It just is not adding up to me. And then the fact that he waited 11 hours to call Ashley's parents to let them know she was in the hospital, that is suspicious as well. Now, I did see where the Deputy Commissioner of Police in Zanzibar came out and made a statement about the incident, and the announcement wasn't in English. I believe it was in Swahili, but it was translated on a few websites, and according to their translations, he said that the hospital report circulating online claiming that Ashley's death was caused by strangulation are false. And he also claimed that Ashley had requested a charging cable from the hotel, and the employee brought it to her, I guess, and was instructed to return after 10 minutes. And when they went back to the room, they supposedly found Ashley hanging. And that explanation, honestly, does not make a lot of sense to me. I'm confused on why the employee was told to go back to the room after 10 minutes.

[00:05:36]And if these aren't the hospital reports, where do they come from, and why haven't the official reports been released to the public? It's just looking like a cover-up to me. I don't know if Joe paid them off or what, but it seems that way. And it just feels like they're trying to save face and conceal what happened and make this bogus statement because this story has gone viral online. I don't even think a statement would have been made if this story did not go viral. And even though I don't like a lot of the discourse online, which I'll get into in a minute, I am glad that the story went viral because now the police in Zanzibar are being forced to deal with it. Because before this, the family wasn't getting any answers. And it's interesting because, as predicted, black people are using this story to position black men as the better option for black women and also to somehow prove that black women are safer with black men. But, the irony of this is black African men, the Zanzibar police in this case, might be the ones who are actually covering up the deletion of this black woman. And I noticed that nobody is really talking about that part of it. And they're definitely not using that part of this situation to demonize all black men and to talk about how unsafe they are. But, in my opinion, that alone shows that black women aren't any more safe with black men. And I'm not sure what the femicide rate is in Tanzania, but we do know that it's high across the entire black diaspora. So, ladies, this is what it looks like when black men are in charge. This is how they handle your unalivings. Black women clearly aren't any safer under their authority, and I don't think that should be overlooked or ignored here. But, of course, black people aren't having that conversation.

[00:07:06]And I have a very hard time believing that most of the black people reporting on this genuinely care about Ashley or black femicide in general. Most of them are completely silent when black women are deleted by black men, which statistically happens at a higher rate than black women being deleted by other races of men. And it's crazy because on my last live stream, I literally just talked about this. I called out all the black people who will talk about the interracial femicide stories, but will completely ignore the intraracial femicide stories. I just talked about Vice Mayor Nancy Matare and Pastor Tammy McCollum, who were both unalived by their black husbands. And I didn't see nearly as many black people, and black men especially, use their platforms to discuss those two stories. I also saw where a popular female rapper by the name of Sadiddy was unalived while pregnant by her baby daddy. And that story didn't go viral, either. And there are so many more cases, and we have channels like Leah Gordone and Black Girl Unlost that cover these stories regularly. And it's usually black men who are deleting black women, and there's a new story damn near every day.

[00:08:06]Yet, they never get this much attention.

[00:08:08]And yes, this is whataboutism because it makes no sense to ignore the femicide that happens the most. And I think black people do that because intraracial black femicide is so common, and interracial femicide happens less, so it's what they tend to focus on. But, in my opinion, it makes more sense to focus on the femicide that happens the most. And since black people don't do that, I can't take them seriously on this topic.

[00:08:30]I only believe the people who aren't biased in their reporting. And everyone will be biased to a certain extent, especially on certain topics. But, when it comes to something as serious as femicide, if you truly care about black women and the women being unalived, you're not just going to bring up femicide when the perpetrator is non-black. That's very disingenuous. And y'all know I rarely cover femicide stories because they make me depressed.

[00:08:52]They make me feel sick. But, when I do talk about it, I hold both white men and black men accountable. And if you're not doing that on your platform, your concern is fake. I don't care what you say. These people talking about this got more smoke for Ashley than they do her alleged unaliver. So, that tells us everything we need to know. And I'm seeing celebrities talk about this. I saw where Bill Bellamy brought it up, and he's up here telling black women not to go on vacation with white men. And the correct advice would be don't go on vacation with men of any race who you have not vetted, who you cannot trust, who are potential scammers like Joe.

[00:09:22]That's the correct advice. But, when has Bill Bellamy ever been vocal in his life about black femicide? All these black women getting unalived by their black male partners, and this is the one he chooses to to use his platform to speak on? Yeah, y'all are full of [ __ ] Nobody believes you. None of the black men and the pro-black mammies who are reporting on this story about Ashley and throwing shade at black women who swirl and trying to blame this on black women who have nothing to do with it. None of them report on black femicide unless it's at the hands of a non-black man. So, it's very obvious that it's fake outrage, and that is absolutely disgusting because they are positioning themselves as people who truly care about black women's well-being. When at its core, this is really about them trying to deflect from black men unaliving black women and throwing stories like this in the faces of black women who swirl and trying to scare black women out of dating non-black men. That's what most of the commentary on this is about. It has absolutely nothing to do with trying to protect black women and it's gross.

[00:10:16]It makes me sick to my stomach every time this happens. And when I hear black women especially trying to use this story to exonerate black men from femicide and announce their loyalty to men and announce why they'll only ever date a black man and they'll never deal with non-black men when black men are unaliving us the most is actually scary to me to see comments like that.

[00:10:35]And the lack of critical thinking skills that I see from black people whenever a story like this goes viral is scary as well. Because what happened to Ashley is not in the least bit exclusive to white man or interracial relationships. It is statistically proven that black women are unalived the most by black men. And for those who are going to say, "Oh, it's it's proximity. It's because that's who they date the most." Proximity does not explain black women are getting killed six rate of white women or that we have higher DV numbers. That's not just about proximity. And so the way black people are ignoring that is terrifying to me. And this is why I say that black women shouldn't be listening to most black people because they do give black men passes and it's costing a lot of black women their lives because they're automatically trusting them and assuming that they're safer because they're black when the opposite is true.

[00:11:20]Now, I do think the conversation about black women prioritizing safety in relationships with non-black men or high earning men is very important but only if it's coming from people who are genuine. And I also think it's important to talk about the facade that some of these black women influencers and swirlers and sugar babies and S workers are creating for social media. And that's something I've discussed on my channel for years. And I'm not saying that Ashley was a sugar baby or an escort, but that is what some people are saying. And some of her posts did kind of give that vibe. I'm not going to lie.

[00:11:51]But I'm not sure that Joe was one of her tricks because tricks and sugar daddies don't typically propose to the women they're paying. Now, if this was just a fake relationship and a fake proposal for social media and this was more of a transactional relationship in real life behind closed doors, then that changes the dynamic of this story. And this would primarily be an S worker safety conversation and an S worker cautionary tale. Not a beware of all white men cautionary tale or beware of all rich men or beware of hypergamy and high earning men are just so dangerous and they're the boogeyman. And by the way, broke men are unaliving and abusing black women the most. So when all these women are warning black women about rich men, rich white men or rich high earning men, it never makes sense to me because rich men aren't effing y'all up as much as poor men are. Like I just never understood why there was so much focus on high earning men when one, they're a minority and two, on average that is not who y'all dealing with. Y'all dealing with the brokeys. Y'all dealing with low earning men. Y'all dealing with average earning men. And they're abusing and unaliving you the most. And y'all stay talking about how black women can't get them anyway, so why are you warning black women of men who don't exist or men who they can't get or men who don't exist in high number? Like y'all should be talking more about poor men and average men cuz that's who most black women are dealing with. Again, it makes no sense to not focus on what's happening the most and what exists the most. These conversations are just stupid. But anyway, I see some of y'all trying to blame this situation on those of us who encourage hypergamy and swirling online. But who in pro-black women spaces or BWE spaces is promoting S work and sugaring? Since y'all say that Ashley was an S worker or a sugar baby, you need to name the content creators who are actually promoting that lifestyle. Name them. Name names. Who in BWE is promoting that black women get with scammer white men who were sugar daddies or who are tricks? Show me the content where any of us have said or encouraged that kind of lifestyle. I'll wait cuz you're going to need to bring the receipts. You're going to need to bring the videos, babe. Y'all just can't be making these claims on social media and not bringing the receipts. But personally, I'm not going to assume that Ashley was an S worker or an escort or a sugar baby. I'm just going to take her content at face value and I'm going to put her in the soft life black woman in luxury influencer category. And like I always say, I think it's okay to enjoy those optics on social media. But ladies, don't fall for the fairy tale because everything you see on social media is not real. You never know what happens behind closed doors and this goes for all relationships, not just interracial ones. Cuz a lot of y'all will be talking that [ __ ] but then you'll celebrate the next time a black woman goes viral for getting engaged to a black man or celebrating her relationship with a black man. So you need to apply that logic across the board. You don't know if the relationships that you see on social media are real and men are men regardless of race. And y'all know I support black women in interracial relationships. I love the soft life and black women in luxury optics and the content, but I obviously only support that when it's actually safe for black women. And I definitely don't support black women getting with these questionable men. And I saw where Joe had to shut down his fund and there were people online complaining about losing money through his company. And this happened in 2025.

[00:15:01]And as someone who's big on vetting men and actually advised women on how to vet a man's finances in my series about vetting men, if I was actually and I saw what Joe was going through with his company in 2025, it would have immediately been a red flag to me. And by no means am I saying that Ashley should have known that Joe was going to unalive her or even be violent, allegedly. I definitely don't think she would have seen that coming unless there were specific signs pointing to that.

[00:15:28]And as of right now, we don't know of any. And so I'm definitely not victim blaming. I'm definitely not saying that she should have known that he was going to allegedly do what he did if he did it. But what I am saying is that a man having a bad or questionable financial history or having the reputation of possibly being a scammer is a huge red flag and it typically points to other bad qualities about that man. So as someone who encourages women to vet men, especially black women, that would have absolutely been my cue to leave Joe if I were Ashley or not deal with him at all.

[00:16:00]And it is possible that Ashley wasn't aware of this. But Joe closing his hedge fund was all over the news. It was on Yahoo Finance. It was all over the internet and the people who invested in his hedge fund were complaining. So it was public information and I'm inclined to believe that Ashley knew and she didn't care or maybe he convinced her that it was no big deal. And maybe he was like, "Oh, you know, this happens all the time." And also maybe finances were the reason they were arguing in Tanzania. Who knows? But that was a major glaring red flag and this is why I always say that vetting men is very possible. It's not as hard as what a lot of y'all women say online. Most men are not that good at lying. They don't typically just show up out of the blue and reveal their bad character out of nowhere. The signs are usually there.

[00:16:44]And in this case, the signs were there back in 2025 when he was on the news and trending on social media for possibly scamming people who invested in his crypto hedge fund. So that was definitely a red flag that Ashley missed or ignored. And if she was familiar with any of my content, she would have known to stay away from him. Cuz I already see people trying to pin this on black women who encourage swirling online and claiming that Ashley referred to herself as a quote-unquote soft life divested.

[00:17:09]And they're trying to blame it on black women who have spaces similar to mine.

[00:17:12]But I couldn't find any evidence that Ashley actually referred to herself as a divested. So that's something else I think people are making up just to pin this on the divestment movement or the swirl movement because they hate any message that doesn't encourage black women to be with black men only. But honestly, I don't think that Ashley was familiar with any of these spaces online. And even if she was, I don't typically hear any pro-black women spaces encouraging black women to get with financially questionable white men or get with a white man just because he's white. Now, I have seen the white male worshipping in some spaces, particularly the extreme divestment spaces which I've talked about and I've addressed in the past. But outside of that, black women are not telling other black women to just date white men because they're white. That narrative is completely false and it's being pushed by people who just don't like seeing black women with non-black men. Now, I did see Ashley mention the soft life frequently. So it's clear that she was familiar with the soft life movement.

[00:18:03]But I've also heard black female celebrities use the term soft life. So that still doesn't prove that she was influenced by swirlers to date white men without vetting them. I think that's a reach.

[00:18:16]And if we're going by that logic, then we can also blame the pro-blacks and all the black people telling black women to only date black men or the black women who cape for black men and that includes the overt mammies and the covert mammies and the hypergamy movement and the soft life movement and the femininity movement that like to throw swirlers under the bus and covertly cape for black men. That include y'all, too. But if we're going by your logic, then we can blame you for all the black women who end up with black men who have bad character and unalive them. And that would actually have more validity because most black men and their mammies, y'all actually do encourage black women to stay with trash black men and just blindly trust them without vetting them simply because they're black. That happens with black men way more than it happens with white men.

[00:18:59]I've said before that black women vet white men better than any race of men in my opinion. So if we're going to play the blame game, let's apply that logic across the board regardless of who black women are deleted by. Now, I want to get into some of Ashley's online posts that people are using to peg her as this black woman who hated black men and they're trying to use these posts as an excuse to bash her online. And I want to start out with the post that people are intentionally ignoring. So in these tweets, Ashley wrote, "Y'all got to stop putting white men on a pedestal for finding black women attractive." And in this one she says, "Honestly, I've dated white guys for as long as I can remember, but I've never bashed black men or belittled them while doing so."

[00:19:39]So right off top, this doesn't sound like a woman who hated black men. And I noticed that out of all the posts being shared, these are not being talked about at all. So that's something I definitely wanted to point out and I wanted black women to note because if they're pulling up everything else, they should pull up this, too. I also noticed that a was also a music video vixen that was featured in a lot of black male rapper's videos. So, she didn't really move like a black woman who hated black men or put white men on a pedestal. And so, in this post Ashley wrote, "Every day black men wake up and find new ways to embarrass us." This was actually Ashley's response to a post or tweet that was about a black man having relations with a frog.

[00:20:16]And as you can see under the post, there were a lot of people reacting to this and talking about how gross it was. And Ashley responded saying that she was embarrassed as a black woman because the man is black. It wasn't necessarily about hating black men, but this particular tweet has been severely taken out of context. And I see black men comparing this to Telbo Rackins, the black man who was unalived by his white girlfriend. But if y'all remember, Telbo actually said that he would rather kiss a dog than a black woman. And he made tons of other extremely disparaging statements about black women that in no way hold the same weight as what Ashley said in this tweet. And black people know that, they understand that, but they're not going to admit it because again, they just don't like that Ashley was in an interracial relationship.

[00:20:57]That's what this is about. And in this post, a commenter wrote, "Anything for money. Our people were forced to do all kinds of stuff from day time for decades. And you go let one pay you down every night for money. Terrible." And Ashley responded saying, "Oh brother, I see 305 in your bio. Let's talk about all the Miami men not white beating their women still. Or is that too touchy? Go live your life while I live mine." So, Ashley is responding to a comment made in her comment section, probably from a black man, warning her about dangerous white men and accusing her for only being with him for money.

[00:21:28]And she responded highlighting that black men, not just white men, harm women as well. And if you notice, most people who shared this particular post conveniently left out what was said to her first. They just clipped her response and made it seem like she was exonerating white men from harming women. Basically trying to push this narrative that she thought white men were perfect and could do no wrong. And she didn't actually say that white no wrong or that they didn't abuse their women. What she said was that white men do it, too, in response to him bringing up slavery and trying to fearmonger her out of dating non-black men. And I just talked about how black people are always using slavery to try to manipulate black women out of dating non-black men or specifically white men. But then when it comes to black men, slavery is rarely ever brought up. So, it's like that specific talking point is always used on black women, especially American black women, because they know a lot of us are still sensitive about slavery and racism. And so, they know those talking points usually work on black women. But like I just said in my live stream, like if you're going to hold white men to that standard, and you're going to hold what their ancestors did against them, then you need to apply the same logic to black men. They were the intermediaries selling the slaves to white men, to Europeans, and they have also participated in harming black women and unaliving black women all over the diaspora. And they're still doing that today. Yet you're still open to dating black men, still open to judging them on an individual basis. And so, yeah, I'm glad that Ashley wasn't going for that.

[00:22:54]I'm glad that she pushed back on that.

[00:22:56]And there was nothing wrong with her response. And in this video, she wrote, "Men are losing their mind in my comments about an interracial relationship, but I just got my lashes refilled." Again, she was responding to men, I'm assuming black men, who were harassing her in her comment section.

[00:23:09]Because it's very common for black men to troll black women swirllers on the internet. So, based on what I saw, most of the responses people are using to disparage Ashley are responses to black men who were harassing her for being with a white man. And other responses that they're mad at that had absolutely nothing to do with them, where she was talking about being able to rest in her feminine and how it felt good to be able to do that. No mention of black men at all. And I saw where black people are also bringing up the men in Ashley's comments who were telling her that Joe was going to unalive her. And this man wrote, "He's going to harm you, get out." And there are a lot of comments like that from her comment section that are resurfacing. And people are sharing them as if these men had crystal balls and they just knew what was going to happen because the narrative is that every black woman who gets with a white man is going to be unalived by them. But what isn't being pointed out is that black men on the internet do this to every black woman who dates or marries out and shows her husband on social media. They always troll them, they warn them that something bad is going to happen. Yet they rarely ever do that to black women who show their relationships with black men. When statistically, it's more likely that something bad is going to happen with black men. So, like I said, this is just fake concern and jealousy, if we're being honest. But this is just what black men do when black women are showcasing their relationships with non-black men online.

[00:24:29]It does not matter if the black woman says anything disparaging about black men or not. And I really want black women to take note of all of the disgusting comments that black men are leaving in this woman's comment section after finding out that she died. All because of their jealousy of black women who date non-black men. And they have been doing this for years. Every time something like this happens, it's rest in preference. It's oh, we don't feel sorry for you because you dated a white man. It's oh, that's what you get for dating a white man. Yet these men will claim that this kind of response is exclusive to black women. It's not. And outside of a minority of black women, black women are never this mean and hateful when black men are unalived by their white partners. Even when their posts disparaging black women resurface.

[00:25:12]And when it comes to those black men, usually they said much worse about black women when they were alive. But they still expect us to mourn them and respect them. So, I want you ladies to take note of that double standard. Now, these posts from Ashley that are being highlighted, I do find problematic. In this one she wrote, "I've been saying since the third grade my children will be mixed. LMAO. My baby is going to be mixed when I have a child. LOL. Mixed babies are so cute." Now, what she said here definitely points to some internalized colorism and self-hate. So, I won't argue with the people pointing out the issues with these tweets. I did see a lot of posts from Ashley about colorism and what she experienced as a dark-skinned black woman, specifically from the black community and from black men. And so, that may have had something to do with her desire to have mixed-race children. And that's something that the black community just does not want to talk about. Like the black community and especially black men will literally harass dark-skinned black women, terrorize them, drag them through the mud, talk [ __ ] about them on social media day in and day out, and then get mad when we don't want to date y'all or when we open up our options to non-black men just to have more men to choose from. Like nobody wants to talk about the elephant in the room. Nobody wants to talk about why these women think the way that they do. And yes, self-esteem, self-love, self-confidence, it starts at home. But like I always say, self-esteem does not exist in a vacuum. You get that from other people as well. And your community is supposed to pour into you.

[00:26:40]Y'all don't pour into dark-skinned women, many of whom which are your children, your daughters. And then you wonder why they don't grow up to have high self-esteem or high self-confidence. And then you blame them for not wanting to endure the abuse. So, if black people aren't willing to have the conversation about what leads up to the type of mentality that Ashley seemed to have, then I cannot take you seriously in this conversation. Like if you participate in trying to silence dark-skinned women who speak about colorism online, I can't take you seriously when you pretend to care about Ashley's internalized colorism. I cannot take you seriously. And for the people who are going to be like, "Oh, well what about her mama?" Because TMZ did an interview with Ashley's parents their spouses, and we learned that her stepdad is a white man. And she actually has biracial siblings. So, I saw where black men were kind of accusing her mama of teaching her to worship white men when there's actually no proof of that at all. And if that's the case, I mean her daddy was there. It's not like she had a single mother. So, wouldn't her daddy also have something to do with that as well? And how can we prove self-hate if the mama originally got with a black man? Maybe she just happened to find love with a white man after they divorced or whatever. So, it's like y'all just be making up [ __ ] because it just triggers you to see black women with non-black men. Like that's just what it is. But yeah, I think Ashley's experience with colorism, you know, living life as a dark-skinned black woman, a beautiful dark-skinned black woman, by the way. I think maybe at times she probably struggled with low self-esteem. Not to say that was her entire experience, but that is very much a possibility because of how dark-skinned black women are treated in the black community. And so, I'm definitely not ruling that out. And as most people know, I talk about black women's internalized colorism on my channel all the time. But again, since when do black men and the black community care about that? Why don't I see videos about all of the black men who say they want mixed-race children?

[00:28:27]Why do I always see black men defending black men when they make those kind of statements? Not to mention, black men are the ones making most of the half-black children in this country. And I don't hear black men really talking about that. But as soon as a black woman says that she wants mixed-race children, y'all are outraged. Yeah, I don't believe you. And also, if y'all care so much about internalized colorism, why do y'all always try to silence black women like me when we speak about black women's internalized self-hate and internalized colorism? And when we encourage black women to stop fetishizing mixed children and mixed-race features and uplift their own features. Every time we do center ourselves in our own phenotype, we're labeled jealous, bitter, and insecure or divisive. So, that's how you know that none of this outrage online is about trying to stop black women from being self-hating or stop us from wanting mixed-race children. Any other time y'all love mixed-race children. Y'all always falling over mixed-race children.

[00:29:17]Most of y'all love mixed babies just like Ashley did. Let's keep it real. So, again, black people are just talking about this because it was a white man who unalived this woman, this black woman, and they don't want black women with white men. That's all this is about. Y'all are full of it and y'all are not fooling me. And be clear, I am not saying Ashley was perfect. I'm not trying to convince black men to care about this because they weren't going to care anyway. I'm just posting the facts and I'm doing my part to correct the misinformation and the false narratives that are being spread. But I don't expect black men to care about this. Not just because of what Ashley said about them, but because they as a collective never care when black women are unalived by their partners. And I see black men talking about, "Oh, well, this is not our fight." Um, when has it ever been your fight? Because again, when black women are unalived by black men, y'all don't say nothing. It's not your fight then, either. So, of course you don't care even more when a white man does it.

[00:30:05]And I saw this black man say online, "Oh, well, why aren't white men coming to Ashley's defense? Why don't we see white men defending her?" Uh, because that's not the collective of white men's job. They defend their own women, like they're supposed to. Even when white women get unalived by black men, there is still a system in place ran by white men to protect that woman. Not saying that Becky always has the most protection or the best protection, but she has way more protection than black women because of her men. And when Becky is unalived by her own race of men, again, there is a system in place to protect her. Black men rarely come to black women's defense when we are unalived. And of course, they have no system to protect us, either. We're usually running to the white man's system to get any amount of protection that we can. But why aren't black men making interracial femicide stories go viral like this story? Because they aren't any better, that's why. And these murderous non-black men, they know they can get away with unaliving black women because there's no protection or repercussions when black men do it.

[00:31:02]That's something else I don't hear black people being honest about or discussing at all. But y'all claim to care about black women? Yeah, okay. Nobody believes you. And I see black men saying, "Oh, well, I thought white men were better."

[00:31:12]Um, I'mma just keep it real, and I know some people are going to cancel me when I say this, but it has to be said. This story and others like this one, it doesn't change the fact that on average, interracial relationships tend to be more advantageous for black women.

[00:31:24]That's just the truth because non-black men on average have more money, they have more privilege than black men, and I don't feel bad about saying that because regardless of all the white women who unalive black men or get them unalived, and regardless of black men's failures that happen over the fence, for the most part, they still say that non-black women are better partners than black women. They say that they're more feminine, fit, and friendly, and everything else. So, if that can still be true despite their failed interracial relationships, the same can be true for black women. Most black women are not getting scammed or unalived by their partners, so I'm not going to push that narrative because some black women unfortunately do. And it's interesting because black people make the same argument that most black women in black relationships aren't getting unalived by black men. Well, the same thing applies here. And if black women are still going to date black men regardless of them unaliving us the most, then we're still going to date white men, and we're going to judge them on an individual basis, just like black women judge black men on an individual basis. The fearmongering is not going to work. And again, black men are unaliving black women the most.

[00:32:24]I'm going to keep stressing that because if black people were truly concerned about it, they would be talking about it more, and not just when black women get unalived by white men. But to wrap this up, I do hope that Ashley's family can get to the bottom of this and receive the justice that they deserve because I 100% believe that Ashley was unalived by Joe McKinnon. And Ashley's father did start to cover the traveling and funeral expenses. So, if you want to donate to that and help the family with all of their expenses and also the investigation, please consider doing that. I will definitely be donating. And please stay safe out here, black women.

[00:32:58]They're all men the same, regardless of race. And please listen to these commentators online with a grain of salt, especially if they are biased and cape for or mammy for black men. Only take advice from people who genuinely care about the well-being of black women and have your best interests at heart.

[00:33:16]Not these people who only want to come online and talk about black femicide when it's at the hands of a non-black man. They are completely disingenuous, it's fake outrage, they are liars, and they cannot be trusted. And that includes some of these black women who have platforms for black women, as well.

[00:33:31]I see right through these people, so just like you vet men, you need to vet some of these content creators, as well.

[00:33:36]But yeah, rest in peace to Ashley, my condolences to her family, and I hope that you guys get the justice that you deserve. So, that is all I have on this story for now. Let me know what you think in the comments, and I'll catch up with you in the next video.
