Others felt personally attacked and decided to ignore the conversation altogether. Black men, however, were not as outraged: some gave declarations of needing to do better. As Toyin’s death was shared on social media, Black women voiced the frustration and hurt of seeing a passionate activist killed by the same people she was advocating for. Salau, a Florida-based activist, had warned us of her abuser, but no one listened until it was too late. Another one - another nurturer, fighter, Black woman gone because of misogynoir. When the news of Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau’s murder broke on Twitter, I became overwhelmed with anger and sorrow. The song’s commentary is undermined by lyrics directed at an unnamed woman perceived to be Noname. Cole’s new song “Snow On Tha Bluff” is a notable miss from the rapper.
