Don’t believe the HYPE!! I was between flights, trying to eat my breakfast. @theangelastanton comes up WITHOUT A MASK, IN THE AIRPORT and starts a conversation. She asked me if I thought BLACK TRUMP SUPPORTERS were COONS because SHE’S BLACK and a TRUMP SUPPORTER… I said “If you’re BLACK and a TRUMP SUPPORTER, YOU’RE DEFINITELY A COON!!” The situation got louder and louder and my security did what they’re SUPPOSED to do, de-escalate the situation. I have security for the same reason you wear makeup, so people don’t see shit get ugly! #TeamDL #dontbelievethehype #fakenews #wedontbelieveyouyouneedmorepeople #FuckTrump #FuckTrumpSupporters #shetriedit #wearamask #cooningfortrump #nottheonetoplaywith
