They messed with the wrong one this time. Black folks from across the city pulled up to show their support for 21-year-old Jada McPherson, who was violently attacked over a parking spot in Ridgewood, Queens, New York.
And judging by the community’s response, this violent attack quickly turned into a powerful symbol of unity and resistance.
It all started when McPherson was violently targeted — and called “a monkey” — after attempting to park in a spot that Andreea Dimitru, 45, and her daughter, Sabrina Starman, 21, were allegedly trying to save for themselves. What followed was a brutal three-on-one attack in broad daylight, where McPherson was beaten, dragged, and pummeled — all of which sparked outrage and protests throughout the neighborhood. And something tells me they didn’t see this coming…
From Black men showing their strength in numbers outside the aggressor’s home to filling the block with community supporters, folks are refusing to let McPherson endure this messy situation alone. The message is clear: The racist, nasty, and unfair attacks won’t be tolerated.
