Mø Nälayé, I understand and appreciate you explaining to the top comment, but they didn’t say “well-spoken for a black woman”. I myself hate it when others compare a trait to me being a black woman (thus saying it’s unlikely for a black woman to have that certain trait). I think the original comment was leaning towards “well-spoken on the traumatic event they experienced not too long ago”. With that being said, I feel that we should be able to be complimented as a person, as long as there aren’t any mentions of racist stereotypes in that compliment.

[@annalouise5074]

@Mø Nälayé Im sure that wasnt their motive, she is extremely well spoken, we can hear how she speaks, I highly doubt they were referring to her being well spoken 'for a black person' she is just very well spoken , regardless of her race . I think that saying 'saying a black person is 'well spoken' is condescending' is condescending in itself , especially in this context, when Im highly confident they were talking about how calm and well spoken she is while talking about such a tragic event. Im a young black girl and I dont really think this comment was necessary in response especially to that comment.

You always have to remember that it’s their choice and no one should be called names ( and I know you didn’t call anyone names but I’m just saying) or degraded(I know you didn’t degrade either but I’ve seen it) for having their own opinion because you may not know what it means.

Rebecca T The killer who murdered those innocent people

[@jasminee8107]

This girl and Akyra ran back in to save their friend Tyara... and Akyra didn’t make it back out.... instead she died on top of her friend. These women are brave, all of these people are strong and worthy, and I am so disgusted and appalled by this man’s decision to take life and death in his own hands. I appreciate Akyra, and I lift her up because had she not been there in front of her friend... maybe it would’ve been Tyara’s name on the list. This is friendship, this is love, this is the ultimate sacrifice and she is an amazing young woman for that. May these people never be forgotten and may this live in everyone’s memory for eternity.

[@Honey-pv1zg]

Even though the horrific situation was terrible this video, this woman, and survivors of mass shootings are beautiful people. I hope they all find peace

[@Lokis_Tea]

How can anyone dislike this? I can’t understand how people can’t realize how much pain this was.....:(

[@iloveurdad5299]

For anyone saying she's acting,you need help. She's still in shock. It's not easy seeing your loved ones dying. I'm honestly disgusted by those saying she's acting or not showing how sad she is. Trauma is a real thing and she's clearly still in pain I hope she's doing better now. I'm praying for all the survivors and all those coping with the deaths of loved ones❤

As I watch this, tears stream down my face. I can’t even imagine.. I just declare healing over everything that has happened with any of the shootings in Florida. Very devastating. How hurt do you have to be yourself to take so many lives? RIP to all the victims. Prayers for all the loved ones who lost a little joy.

Then you are under heavy mind control. In a tiny club like that rat trap, at no time would running into an enclosed bathroom be the choice when there are exits all over the place for safety.

3 hours is far too long. are u kidding me. they should have been there is 20 min tops.

It was because of the bomb threat and they probably had to approach the situation safely.

[@aizawasscarf8927]

I had no clue it took 3 hours until now omg... :(

It was a hostage situation. They cant just burst in there they had to negotiate cuz the person who captured them could kill them all with literally a flick of a finger.

Idk how people think she’s acting .... I don’t see any act in this. You can see the exhaustion in her face and hear it in her voice. She’s tired. I understand that pain. I’d like to remind people , usually the people who are crying the loudest and making the most fuss are the ones that are acting.

@saimah patel Well, it's true, wether you believe it or not. And just because he was highly religious doesn't mean that he understood the teachings and lessons in the Qur'an. He might have been mentally ill. That's why he did such a horrible thing. No person right in the head does that. This was because he was not a good person, not because your religion isn't good.

When I was smaller, I always wondered why my mom would be so strict. No sleepovers, no going out w/friends alone, no going out anywhere w/out adult supervision. But as I grew up, I realized that the world is a terrible place and that you cant trust anybody. I learnt to appreciate and be thankful for my mum, because if it were not for her, I most definitely wouldn't have been here. There is nothing like a woman's intuition💕
