The 44 Percent: Doechii, Flo Rida shopping plaza, Black businesses in South Florida
Briefly

Doechii made headlines after winning Best Rap Album at the Grammys, becoming only the third woman to achieve this honor. However, the conversation surrounding her has largely focused on her controversial comments regarding straight men during a 'Hot Ones' episode. As a bisexual woman, her opinions reflect her experiences with homophobia. Rather than criticize her, the discourse should emphasize creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and celebrating her significant contributions to music and performance.
"As much as we, as a community, want equity within society, that can't come without the respect for our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters."
"If her comments actually offended you, some serious introspection is needed."
"We should be talking about how she's already one of the best performers in music, bar none."
"Listen to the wise words of Assata Shakur: It is our duty to fight for our freedom...We must love each other and support each other."
