She's smudging them with incense. Probably sage. Smells great.

Edit: People fast

Not sure what's going on in the pic, but it's definitely from the riots in Baltimore when Freddie Grey was murdered.

Energy cleansing.

Ain't nobody on earth stronger than black women.

"Bitch it's Saturday"

 

[LionPride]

Black women are the backbone of our community, we gotta treat them better

 

[How About No]

Bitch Please, the thread

Beautiful

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The second picture is one of the greatest I've ever seen.

Burning sage. It wards off evil.

Black women are literal superheroes

 

[Numb]

Black women too strong and too kind

 

[Viewt]

Yeah, that second photo is instantly iconic and one of the greatest of all time.

 

[Dali]

What's going on in the first picture? It's like she just said "I got yellow cake" and everyone took a step back or shuddered,falling backwards. "Don't drop that shit!"

 

[Aztechnology]

What is going on here?

Voodoo. It's clearly evil voodoo magic.

Spoiler

Amazing photos

 

[rhandino]

The 2nd pictures is everything.

It was during the Baton Rouge protests. The cops told everyone to clear the road and if they didn't, they would be arrested. The young lady stood there, peacefully, and the cops are running to arrest her.

I love these pictures.

They all look blown back though which is why I said it. Her dress isn't moving so she must have said something. I'm not saying she's Storm or anything.

Spoiler

she's storm isn't she?

 

[Risible]

Amazing

 

[Numb]

Bayonet in the face twice and the glare doesnt even ease up

 

[manakel]

LOVE this one.

 

[A Link to the Past]

The first picture is great, the police look legitimately intimidated.

 

[SimpleGamer]

Ain't nobody on earth stronger than black women.

Facts.

 

[Shig]

We desperately need more take-no-shit black women in the Senate and Congress. The looming threat of a good pop-off or two would holster a lot of shitty proposals by moist-ass white dudes.

 

[Infinite]

Black women are the backbone of our community, we gotta treat them better

Real shit.

 

[Akibared]

Black women are the backbone of our community, we gotta treat them better

Hell yeah!

 

[The Hermit]

perfect

 

[Lkr]

I love this image.

holy shit this is amazing. there are so many potential quotes to put here but honestly the picture just says it all on its own

 

[hamsjams]

These images are incredible. I've seen the first one before but I did not expect the others to affect me so powerfully.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Black women are so majestic and powerful. Truly the most beautiful women on the planet are Black.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Black women do not give a shit about your bayonets.

 

[Luxorek]

Third and fourth photo reminded me of this:

Soldiers with fixed bayonets send to quell protests. I hope we will never see anything like that again in western world.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Don't do this to her.
