Black Twitter’s Split Reactions

The news of Kevin Samuels passing away hit social media fiercely yesterday. Unexpected would be an understatement regarding the reactions from many online. Many people celebrated the fact that he had died because of what they perceived as misogynist words and actions from the self-described image consultant. 

Many others were appalled by the thought that anyone would celebrate the death of any other person because of ideological differences. On Twitter, a user identified as @MrErnestOwens, expressed his displeasure with the life that Samuels lived. He tweeted, “Kevin Samuels has made a career off of shamelessly disgracing Black women for profit. He emboldened the most toxic individuals to project tired and harmful narratives about Black women. Dead or alive, what a disgraceful life to live. That’s all I’ve got for that misogynist.” 

Another user, identified as @spiritmoneylove, was unapologetic in her happy response to hearing the news of Samuel’s death. She tweeted, “A white supremacist will die and everybody celebrates.  A misogynioristic man like Kevin Samuels dies and black women can’t be happy about it? Lol gtfo”

Kevin Samuels was a polarizing figure with a love/hate personality in the ongoing gender war. Many had very positive things to say about the fallen relationship expert, and were appalled by others online seeming to celebrate his death.

On Twitter, a user identified as @KenHeLive, posed a question to others that felt good about Samuel’s death. He tweeted, “Kevin Samuels told broke men & mediocre faced women to shoot in their range and only one group wants him dead because of it. LMFAO” 

Another user, identified as @Troy_DonJuan concurred with an interesting tweet of his own about humanity. He said, , “Regardless of if this Kevin Samuels news is true or not, you gotta be an evil MF to cheer for someone’s death because you don’t like some of the things they’ve said”. 

Legendary comedian, Marlon Wayans seemed to provide nuance for the unfortunate death and surrounding reactions on social media. On Instagram he posted a photo of Samuels with a caption that read, “Love him or hate him… he spoke his truth. We can view truth as hate but sometimes his bold medicine didn’t taste so sweet. And if you hated why tune in? Why call in? Because healing comes in many forms… his was some nasty ass tasting medicine. There’s no right and wrong in this love shit, there’s just discovery. Thank u for those you healed and we forgive you if there were any damages because we know your intention was to heal… and honestly, FUCK, YOU WAS HILARIOUS! In this moment i pray for you and your family and all those you’ve healed that can’t call in to your show. I hope you can heal more and reach more in heaven. Rest well. Appreciate you trying to hold on and express masculinity.”
